Propane is not considered to be a greenhouse gas, and may be dispersed in
the open air, if there are no places nearby for it to settle into, thus
creating a flammable pool.  Notice when you fill that propane vents to the
air.

Now, regulations vary from state to state, or province to province, so
check before releasing, I suppose.
