The Future of Renewable Propane: Momentum, Innovation & Opportunity
Over the last few months, I have been asked frequently about how the Trump administration’s energy priorities might affect the propane industry. An embrace of nuclear, natural gas and natural gas liquids — including propane — is a positive sign, but the question remains: What about renewable propane? With increasing attention paid to its conventional twin, will it sustain the momentum it has built over the past five years? I believe the answer is yes.
Calls to lower carbon emissions in sectors such as road transportation and ports are unlikely to abate as administrations come and go. What might change are the energy sources favored to get the job done. Our industry has long championed a carbon-cutting approach that includes propane, renewable propane, electrification and a host of other innovative solutions — a wide path — to lower emissions. Now, the wide path is poised to have its moment.
