Price Advantage of Low-Carbon Propane Over Heating Oil Will Continue to Grow in Canada in Coming Years
Thursday, July 6, 2023

OTTAWA (June 30, 2023) — Carbon tax projections show that low-emission propane will continue to be the best option for heating in Atlantic Canadians’ homes, says the Canadian Propane Association.

“Because propane, like natural gas, has much lower emissions than furnace oil, it is taxed less. As a result, the carbon tax on propane under the federal fuel charge on July 1 will be 7 cents a liter less than furnace oil. By 2030, the difference will be about 19 cents per liter,” said Shannon Watt, president and CEO of the Canadian Propane Association.
