Abstract | This study quantifies the greenhouse gas profile of propane and other fuels in selected applications. Cutting across propane market segments including residential, power generation, engine fuel, agriculture, and other applications, this analysis uses energy consumption rates, emissions factors, and equipment efficiencies for various energy options to estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of those energy options. The applications analyzed include: distributed generation; irrigation pumps; forklifts; medium-duty engines; light-duty trucks; residential water heaters; and residential space heating. The results of the analysis show that propane is among the most attractive options for avoiding greenhouse gas emissions in every application considered. |
