Cambridge, ON, 16 Jan: In a groundbreaking move for the Canadian energy sector, Superior Propane has announced its partnership with the City of Chilliwack to transition from traditional propane to renewable propane. This initiative marks a significant step in the city's commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

Key Points
1. Superior Propane delivers first renewable propane to municipal fleet
2. Chilliwack transitions 100 vehicles to low-carbon propane
3. No infrastructure changes required for renewable propane adoption

First Delivery Marks a New Era

In September 2024, Superior Propane made history with the first delivery of renewable propane to the City of Chilliwack. This delivery represents the city's initial phase in replacing its conventional propane supply with a cleaner, renewable alternative for its fleet operations. This partnership is part of Superior Propane's larger vision to enhance the availability of low-carbon energy solutions across Canada.

Rick Carron, President of Superior Propane, expressed pride in leading this initiative: "Our partnership with the City of Chilliwack represents our first step into the renewable propane market, and we're proud to lead the way in developing this important part of Canada's energy market."

Seamless Integration and Performance

The renewable propane provided by Superior seamlessly integrates into Chilliwack's existing auto propane fueling system. The city plans to operate around 100 propane-powered units on renewable propane, including various vehicle types that support essential municipal services such as street sweeping and snow plowing.

Mayor Ken Popove of Chilliwack praised the partnership, stating, "Superior Propane has helped us demonstrate real-world performance and emissions reduction potential of renewable propane while ensuring an easy integration with our current propane vehicles. The transition was smooth, and our vehicles are delivering the same power and performance as before."

No Additional Infrastructure Required

Renewable propane serves as a 'drop-in' replacement fuel, eliminating the need for infrastructure changes. This allows Superior Propane to utilize its extensive delivery network to expand access to this sustainable energy source as additional supplies become available. Consumers can make the switch to renewable propane without incurring extra setup costs, enjoying the benefits of a low-carbon energy option.
