CHILLIWACK – The City of Chilliwack has formed a partnership with Superior Propane in efforts to shift from traditional propane to renewable propane.
Superior Propane marked the first step in the transition in September of 2024 with the first renewable propane delivery to the City to gradually replace its conventional propane supply for its fleet. This initiative is part of Superior Propane’s broader vision for expanding the availability of low-carbon, renewable propane in the Canadian market.
“Superior Propane has helped us demonstrate real-world performance and emissions reduction potential of renewable propane while ensuring an easy integration with our current propane vehicles,” said City of Chilliwack Mayor, Ken Popove. “The transition was smooth, and our vehicles are delivering the same power and performance as before.”
“Our partnership with the City of Chilliwack represents our first step into the renewable propane market, and we’re proud to lead the way in developing this important part of Canada’s energy market,” said Superior Propane President Rick Carron.
The renewable propane supplied by Superior Propane seamlessly integrates into the City of Chilliwack’s existing auto propane fueling system. The City plans to operate approximately 100 propane-powered units from its fleet solely on renewable propane. These vehicles, spanning various brands, classes, and engine types, serve a range of municipal functions, from street sweeping and snow ploughing to other road maintenance tasks.
As a ‘drop-in’ replacement fuel, renewable propane requires no infrastructure changes, allowing Superior Propane to leverage its existing and vast delivery network to expand availability, as additional supply is secured, to more customers.
Superior Propane, part of the energy Distribution Business of Superior Plus LP, has the largest distribution network in Canada, with approximately 200 service and distribution points. The company employes more than 1,000 Canadians and delivers over 1.2 billion litres of propane.
