Propane Levac welcomes renewable LPG to Canada

Propane Levac Inc. received the first rail car of renewable propane to be broadly marketed in Canada. It arrived Jan. 27 at the LGP Energy/Propane Levac Rail Terminal in Prescott, Ontario.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce renewable propane to a broad segment of the Canadian market,” says Propane Levac President Christian Levac. “This milestone is more than just the arrival of a product; it’s a step forward in our commitment to sustainability and providing clean energy solutions that can power homes, businesses, farms and industries across Ontario and Quebec.”

Renewable propane is derived from plant oils, used cooking oil and agricultural waste. It works seamlessly with existing propane systems and appliances, offering the same reliability and builds on the already low emissions of conventional propane, according to the company.
Propane Levac’s introduction of renewable propane marks the first expanded commercial delivery of this cleaner energy in Canada.
“We believe it is our responsibility to provide our many customers with even lower emission energy,” Levac says. “By paving the way with the first commercial shipment of renewable propane dedicated to a variety of customers, we are making a difference and setting the stage for future innovations in clean energy. This is a journey, and we are committed to continuously seeking new ways to innovate and drive further emissions reductions.”
Propane Levac says it remains dedicated to increasing the availability of renewable propane and hopes to bring in more as supply grows.
The event drew reactions from energy industry stakeholders.
Shannon Watt, president and CEO of the Canadian Propane Association, calls the renewable propane delivery “an exciting chapter for Canada’s propane industry.”
“Bringing renewable propane to Canada is a big win for the global energy industry,” adds Cinch Munson, business development director for the World Liquid Gas Association. “This is a great example of how the LPG industry continues to meet market demands with clean energy solutions that benefit our customers, the planet, and the economy.”
