Environmental effects Releases lesser greenhouse gas. Releases CO2 which is a greenhouse gas but is cleaner when compared to gasoline.
Properties It is lighter than air and hence disperses quickly in the event of spillage. Highly inflammable. It is heavier than air and on leakage will settle to ground and accumulate in low lying areas.
Safety Easily disperses, hence risk of ignition is minimized. Since it is difficult to disperse risk of fire is more.
