Propel Fuels has been awarded a $10.1 million grant from
the California Energy Commission (CEC) to build more than 100 Flex Fuel E85
service stations over the next four years.
The award is funded through the State of
California's AB 118 Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program.
Propel's new stations will dramatically increase access to American-made, low
carbon Flex Fuel E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) for the nearly one million
Flex Fuel vehicles currently on California's roads. With gasoline prices at
historic highs, providing California's drivers more choice at the pump helps
make progress towards the state's clean energy transportation goals while
reducing petroleum use and lowering dependence on international oil markets.
