In an effort to showcase the zero-emissions outlook of propane autogas, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) unveiled a new video highlighting renewable propane: the energy source for fleets now and into the future.
“As the next generation of sustainability, renewable propane is an energy source that will play a critical role in caring for the environment,” says Steve Whaley, director of autogas business development at PERC. “Renewable propane has all the benefits of conventional propane autogas. It’s clean, affordable, and provides fleets with the same performance and reliability they’ve come to expect. But at the point of combustion, it’s carbon neutral.”
Renewable propane is a byproduct of the renewable diesel and jet fuel production process. This process converts plant and vegetable oils, waste greases, and animal fat into fuel. Renewable propane also has the same chemical structure and physical properties as conventional propane. Additionally, operators can use this renewable propane in any existing propane autogas engine.
Renewable propane has a lower carbon intensity than conventional propane. It is also far cleaner than other energy sources because it’s produced from renewable, raw materials. Renewable propane is already available, and experts predict the entire worldwide demand can be met with renewable propane by 2040.
