While the world carries on about electrification as THE solution for climate change, America is missing a prime opportunity to transition medium-duty fleets using an American-made fuel that is readily available and abundant in supply. Would it surprise you to learn there is enough surplus propane in the United States – 20 billion gallons to be exact – to convert at least half of the country’s medium-duty vehicles from diesel to propane? This would reduce carbon emissions by 21 million metric tons, which is equivalent to taking 4.5 million cars off the road every year.
