Propane is a safe fuel that undergoes constant checks to ensure it performs cleanly and efficiently. In its commitment to meeting increasingly strict fuel regulations, the industry enables propane to offer consumers a high standard of quality.
Studies of fuel composition and its effects on the durability, emissions, and performance of propane fuel systems are critical to increasing market share for propane. Fuel specifications are essential to support development of new propane equipment that exploits propane's advantages as a clean-burning fuel.
PERC's fuel studies program has supported research in the following areas:
- emissions
- fuel parameters and analysis
Emissions
Emissions research provides lifecycle analysis of emissions of pollutants from propane fuel systems. Studies review over-the-road vehicles, forklifts, and space and water heating devices.
Fuel Parameters and Analysis
Fuel parameters and analysis research probes issues in fuel quality and composition to understand and mitigate impacts on performance, emissions, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Research focuses on hose conditioning and the removal of water, solid contaminants, propylene, and carbonyl sulfide.
