West Springfield, MA Welcomes First Delivery of Renewable Propane
In a groundbreaking moment for West Springfield, Massachusetts, a significant step towards sustainable energy was marked with the arrival of the first delivery of renewable propane. The event occurred at the NGL Supply Wholesale Springfield terminal in West Springfield on September 5 and was celebrated with a special ceremony.
Renewable propane, a clean and eco-friendly alternative to conventional propane, is produced as a byproduct of renewable diesel derived from plant and vegetable oils or animal fats. This innovative approach to propane production significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional propane, making it an environmentally responsible choice for energy.
Leslie Anderson, President and CEO of the New England Propane Gas Association, highlighted the benefits of renewable propane. While its cost is currently only slightly higher than that of traditional propane, Anderson anticipates a reduction in price as production increases. She emphasized that many individuals and businesses are willing to invest in renewable propane due to its positive impact on the environment.
Renewable propane is still in its early stages of development, with ongoing research and advancements in production methods. Fuel experts project that renewable propane could account for up to half of the world’s energy needs by 2050, reflecting its potential to revolutionize the energy industry.
