USDA visits Propel Fuels to promote 10,000-pump biofuels buildout

March 9, 2011 |

In California, Propel Fuels hosted Judith Canales, Administrator for Rural Business and Cooperative Programs for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), at the company’s fueling station in Oakland, a visit highlighting the USDA’s plan to fund the build-out of 10,000 renewable fuel pumps across the nation in the next five years. According to Propel, there are more than 20 million vehicles nationwide (more than 1 million in California alone) capable of running on renewable fuels, but the majority do not have access to these fuels. Propel currently operates throughout California and Washington State, with more than 75 additional stations planned in their existing markets of the Bay Area and Sacramento, as well as new markets later this year.
