Today, more than 10 million vehicles around the world run on propane, a fuel that delivers
high-octane power but fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline,
and considerably less nitrogen oxide and particulate pollution
than diesel. In addition, thousands of propane forklifts keep our
economy moving every day.
Nearly 80 percent of American farms
use propane to run pumps and engines, dry crops, heat buildings,
process foods - and reduce emissions. Propane is also being used
to generate heat and steam to eradicate weeds and pests, sterilize
soils and defoliate crops for a more organic harvest.

Environmentally-conscious homeowners
and builders embrace propane as well. Millions of homeowners and
builders turn to propane to cut greenhouse gas emissions while
keeping rooms warm, stovetops lit and water hot.

The majority of the propane we use is
produced domestically. And with the largest storage capacity in
the world, the United States supply is abundant. Pipelines, processing
facilities, refueling stations, distribution centers and storage
facilities already exist across the country, making large capital
investments in infrastructure unnecessary.
