This analysis compares water heating technologies based on their energy, economic, and environmental performance, with a focus on the performance of propane-based systems relative to electric and heating oil alternatives.

PERClogo_20150618105002.jpg The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) promotes the safe, efficient use of propane as a preferred energy source. Congress passed the Propane Education and Research Act (PERA) in 1996, and the industry began to conduct a referendum among propane producers and marketers, who overwhelmingly approved the formation of the Council. The Council receives funding by an assessment, or "check-off," on each gallon of odorized propane gas. The assessment will collect five-tenths of one cent per gallon in 2008 and is projected to generate $50 million to fund programs and projects. Through the Council, the propane industry has committed itself to a multiyear, multimilliondollar effort to improve consumer and employee safety, fund research and development of new and more efficient propane equipment, and expand public awareness of propane and its many uses and environmental advantages.
