Propane: The Wave of the Future

Propane has played an essential role in America’s energy mix for more than a century. Its growing role in the future of propane autogas is what truly sets it apart from conventional fuels like gasoline, diesel, and electric.

The 1990 Clean Air Act lists propane as a clean fuel. Choosing propane over gasoline or fuel oil offers an economical and practical path to cleaner air. Using propane reduces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and air pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.

“A sustainable fuel that reduces your carbon footprint.”

Kelly Reagan, City of Columbus Fleet Administrator

America produces more than enough propane to meet demand. The U.S. is the leading producer of propane. As part of the future of propane autogas, this abundant bridge fuel serves as a clean-burning alternative to gasoline and diesel that can address energy challenges while long-term renewable technologies are developed.

Even with sharp declines in oil prices, U.S. producers expect propane output to grow rapidly, keeping propane prices lower than oil. This trend further strengthens the future of propane autogas as a reliable and affordable solution for clean transportation.

The OPGA is offering a $5,000 rebate to help propane customers make the transition to propane-powered vehicles and participate in an industry that provides clean, American, abundant, and affordable fuel to Ohio.
