Comment: Fossils fuels aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, but they are going green
Propane Education and Research Council.The climate and health debate has forced Americans to consider their personal impact on the environment.
The recently announced Inflation Reduction Act is expected to help the United States cut greenhouse gas emissions roughly 40 percent below 2005 levels by the end of this decade. Energy experts, however, agree that more must be done to meet the goal of cutting emissions in half by 2030. The greatest obstacle to achieving the goal is not a lack of innovation, but the belief that there is only one path to that future.
The answer is to replace everything – carbon-generated electricity, gasoline, diesel, coal, coke and more – that carries a high carbon intensity – with a low or zero carbon intensity alternative. Thanks to innovation already in play, we can do this today, and renewable propane is just one way to move forward. It is remarkably low carbon, and in certain blends, can even be carbon positive, that is, below zero in its carbon intensity.
