On June 13, the Canadian Propane Association (CPA) issued a press release calling for the B.C. government to look beyond Electric Vehicles (EVs) and consider low-emission auto propane in its strategy to reduce automotive GHG emissions.

 

The CPA's B.C. Committee Chair Kevin O'Donnell stated support for the government's actions on fighting climate change, but explained that there is much more that can be achieved if the government looks beyond EVs and seriously considers the expanded use of auto propane. "There are ongoing questions about affordability and practicality in relation to EVs," said O'Donnell. "If we are going to be serious about an immediate, affordable and comprehensive plan to reduce GHGs in the transportation sector, equal consideration must be given to auto propane, which has significant environmental and economic advantages over gas, diesel and other alternative transportation fuels."
