Propane is a liquefied petroleum gas that consists of propane, propylene, butane, and butylenes in various mixtures. In the U.S., propane is the primary ingredient. Propane is a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining and it is stored under moderate pressure to maintain its liquid state.

Propane vehicles produce less tailpipe emissions and pollutants compared with those using gasoline or diesel. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical four-horsepower gasoline lawnmower engine generates almost six times as much volatile organic compounds (VOCs) per hour of use as a typical car. Converting small utility engines such as lawnmowers to burn propane can reduce emissions of ozone precursors by one third and increase fuel economy by 14%.

• Energy security. Domestic production reduces dependence on imported oils

• Cost. Propane costs less per gallon than gasoline and diesel fuel

• Availability. Numerous propane-powered vehicles are available. A national infrastructure of propane pipelines, processing facilities, and storage already exists for efficient distribution

Renewable propane is made from readily available materials, such as used cooking oil, animal fats and agricultural waste products, rather than fossil fuels. It’s often a co-product of biodiesel and renewable diesel production.

• Flexible. Renewable propane is identical to traditional propane in terms of chemical structure and physical properties.

• Performance. Metrics are similar to those of traditional propane.

• Diverts waste from landfills. Converting animal fats and used cooking oil into renewable propane reduces the amount of material entering our landfills.
