In this blog, we list the pros and cons of buying a propane tank. This will help you as a consumer make an informed decision at the end.

Propane is a clean, efficient and versatile energy source


Choosing propane gas tank at home or in the garden means choosing a cleaner, more efficient and versatile source of energy. Energie Beheer Nederland shows that propane gas emits up to 24% less CO2 than fuel oil and up to 50% less than coal, making it an environmentally friendly alternative. In addition, according to the Liquid Gas Association, propane gas burns more efficiently and produces more heat than traditional fuels, resulting in lower energy costs for households and businesses.

Safety is a top priority, and the central government confirms that propane gas is one of the safest fossil fuels. That's because of strict regulations and stringent safety measures for use and storage. Propane gas is not only safe, but also versatile and practical. Thus, it is suitable for various applications, such as heating, cooking and also industrial processes.

A propane tank helps during the transition to renewable energy

The availability of propane gas as a stable and long-term energy source is emphasized by Gasunie, which is essential for both households and businesses. The Association for Liquefied Gas adds that propane gas emits less particulate matter compared to other fossil fuels, contributing to better air quality and public health.

 

By choosing propane gas, Dutch households and businesses can increase their energy independence, as indicated by the Central Bureau of Statistics. This is made possible by reducing dependence on foreign energy sources. Moreover, propane gas tanks are also flexible with moving and during installation. This makes them extremely suitable for both households and businesses, regardless of whether they choose an above-ground or underground propane tank.

Finally, propane gas can play an important role in the transition to renewable energy. Propane gas can serve as a transition fuel to facilitate the transition to renewable energy sources, such as biopropane and hydrogen. This helps us reduce our impact on the environment while preparing for a future with cleaner energy sources.

It is clear that buying a propane tank, gas tank or propane gas cylinder offers numerous benefits that can both reduce your energy costs and have a positive impact on the environment. While a propane tank is not the ideal solution for everyone, it offers an attractive and flexible alternative to traditional energy sources for many Dutch households and businesses. 

So is buying a propane tank the right solution?

Yet buying a propane tank is not always the best solution. For safety reasons, almost no propane suppliers offer the option of buying a tank anymore. This is because it compromises safety. This is because propane tanks are subject to regular maintenance. They prefer to keep this in-house so that safety is maintained.

When the propane tank is owned by the consumer, maintenance is also the responsibility of the consumer. And they are prone, for whatever reason, to sometimes skip maintenance. This creates great risks, including for propane suppliers. For this reason, almost no buy gas tanks are offered anymore.
