I have never heard of a way to do this without changing the whole furnace.
Propane furnaces are usually thin steal walled heat exchangers with many burners.
Oil Furnaces have a large burner chamber and then a small heat exchanger above it.
If there is a way, you will need to change the heat exchanger and all electrical components. It may be cheaper in the end to just change the whole furnace.
yes it can
Furnace it has to reach much higher temperatures than the fireplace
Oil furnaces cannot be converted to gas - LP or natural - as they have totally different burners and have very different internal construction.

Change out the gas flow orifice size to propane and adjust the gas valve.
Green gas is just propane with some oil added to it. You can get a propane adaptor and use propane. Edit: The oil in question is silicone oil. Also, propane often has an additive called ethyl mercaptan, which causes its pungent smell. Green gas generally has a less strong smell, or none.
Yes.

In general, yes. But they've put big taxes on diesel. I have also converted an #2 oil furnace to reliably burn the motor oil from our van fleet
Any fuel that can be burnt has chemical energy. Once it is burned, that energy will of course be converted into heat energy.

It uses fuel (oil/natural gas/propane) to make a fire, usually for space heating purposes.
1200 foot propane furnace what size do i need
There are a variety of gas furnaces that can without much effort be converted from one type of gas to the other, Natural gas and propane gasses work at different pressures; one gas is denser than the other.Converting gas to an electric furnace, you would be gutting almost the entire furnace, and replacing the gas components with electric heating coils, diodes and relays. This will take a lot of man-hours, fabrication, engineering, and parts. while not imposable, the conversion would be very expensive.
How can you covert an oil furnace to an electric furnace
