Under the leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger, California has set firm state-wide carbon reduction goals designed to combat climate pollution. The state’s initial targets include returning emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and reducing the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuels by at least 10 percent. Governor Schwarzenegger acknowledges Propel’s new network of Clean Fuel Points is a crucial component for reaching California’s 2020 Targets.
“With transportation fuels making up 40 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions, these alternative fueling stations are exactly what I envisioned when I called for California to establish the world’s first Low Carbon Fuel Standard,” Governor Schwarzenegger said.
“By providing drivers with a choice of fuel options, today’s announcement illustrates how the private sector is joining the public sector to help lower the Golden State’s carbon footprint. This is the kind of leadership that will lead to the creation of a booming low carbon fuel market and help us meet our aggressive climate change goals.”
Propel recently opened five Clean Fuel Points in the Sacramento region. See map of Propel locations.
