Propane is a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. Recovered during these processes, it can be used to power everything from heating systems to generators. For event planners looking to make more informed energy decisions, it's an alternative worth understanding.
Compared to traditional diesel-powered solutions, propane offers several practical advantages:
• Cleaner combustion: Generally produces less soot and particulate matter than diesel.
• Reduced spill risk: Stored in pressurized tanks, reducing the risk of liquid fuel spills into soil or waterways.
• Versatile applications: Can support temporary power, HVAC, lighting, and other essential event infrastructure.
While propane still produces emissions when burned, its characteristics make it a practical alternative worth considering for event power planning.
At Green2Go, propane is incorporated into equipment developed specifically for the event industry, including the Rover mobile LED light tower and JuiceBox power system. From illuminating event spaces to supplying temporary electricity, these propane-powered systems demonstrate how an existing fuel resource can serve different needs across an event site.
Reducing an event's carbon footprint starts long before the equipment arrives onsite.
When planning your next event, consider more than just how much power you need. Is your equipment appropriately sized? What fuel options are available? Could adjustments to equipment selection or operating hours reduce unnecessary energy consumption?
No single fuel is the right choice for every application, and switching to propane alone doesn't guarantee lower carbon emissions.
The opportunity lies in evaluating the full picture and making informed decisions that minimize waste, improve efficiency, and identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact.
More responsible event power starts with smarter planning.
Our mobile power rentals come packed with features for most events & operations. But unique projects require unique generators, which is why we offer optional upgrades & specialize in custom-tailored solutions for most any undertaking.
