Power a Cleaner Future Today with Propane Generators

Every jobsite needs access to reliable, affordable power. Propane offers scalability and performance to power any size project or business. And with today’s focus on the environmental impact of the energy choices we make, propane can help you meet your sustainability goals. It’s the cleanest alternative energy for backup power, mitigating nitrogen oxides and particulate matter by replacing diesel generators. That means fewer greenhouse gas emissions, significantly better local air quality, and quieter operations too. Propane-powered portable generators are 98% cleaner than diesel-fueled equivalents—and less expensive to operate too. And unlike most fuels, propane doesn’t degrade over time, so it’s always ready when and where it’s needed most.

Propane is the safe, smart choice for towable and portable power on construction sites, prime power for businesses, high-efficiency combined heating and power systems, and even standby power that’s ready for anything. In fact, propane plays an important role in permanent and temporary microgrids, working in tandem with wind, solar PV, and battery systems to generate clean, cost-effective, and reliable power for remote builds and projects. These miniature power grids store electricity from renewables, using the propane generator only as needed, with performance controlled locally via a centralized station.

For businesses, a reliable propane standby generator is a key part of resilient design. When the power is knocked out, standby power kicks in almost instantly, so there’s no disruption in heating or cooling, lighting, refrigeration, and other critical building systems. These units can keep operations running for weeks until power is restored. It can prevent thousands of dollars in losses for a business and help keep the doors open.

For these reasons and more, propane is the environmentally friendly energy for construction pros—and getting cleaner every day. Renewable propane is chemically identical to conventional propane and offers the same performance and reliability. But it’s made from renewable feedstocks, cooking oils, and agricultural waste products with a carbon intensity score that’s even lower than the national average for grid electricity.

Choosing propane empowers your pros and your customers to embrace a more resilient future without sacrificing their energy needs. Power your next construction project with the affordability, reliability, and versatility of propane. Visit propane.com/powergen to learn more.
