Renewable Propane

The future of propane

Conventional propane has long been considered a greener alternative to other energy sources. The propane industry is taking it a step further with renewable propane—a non-fossil fuel composed of 100% renewable materials for an even cleaner-burning future.

Carbon Neutral

As a carbon-neutral fuel, renewable propane is derived from renewable feedstocks. 

Reduced Landfill Waste

Renewable propane prevents cooking oils and animal fats from becoming long-term landfill waste.

Easy Integration

Conventional and renewable propane are molecularly identical and can be used interchangeably in the same equipment.

Convenient

Like conventional propane, renewable propane is safe, energy-efficient, and low maintenance.

Greener Transportation

Vehicles powered by renewable propane autogas can emit up to 43% less greenhouse gas emissions.

How renewable propane is made

Renewable propane is chemically identical to conventional propane but produced from renewable feedstock—a more eco-friendly energy source.


Renewable Feedstock

Renewable propane is made primarily from animal fats, plant and vegetable oils, agricultural waste, and used cooking oil. Often a co-product of biodiesel production, renewable propane helps divert byproducts from otherwise going to waste. 

Crop Feedstock

Renewable propane is also produced with camelina sativa—a non-food seed oil in the mustard family that doesn't compete with food production. Renewable propane made from camelina oil has a lower carbon footprint than the electric grid in 49 states.

Make the switch to propane

While our sights are set on renewable propane, conventional propane remains a preferred energy source for homes and businesses. It’s convenient, efficient, and produces less greenhouse gas emissions than other leading fuel sources.

Today I had a gas range and propane tank installed by one of your technicians. The technician has been knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous. You won't find a better company for quick, reliable service. It is a pleasure to do business with them! Cheers,

A few words from our customers

I had a lot of questions about the cost and process for transitioning from one propane supplier to another, replacing an aged tank, and a pre-buy contract. Every interaction, from management to office staff to technician, was polite, informed, and productive.
