Sparling's Propane is a RIGHT NOW™ solution.

By using Clean Propane, your fleet can make a contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.

Propane is a more environmentally friendly fleet fuel than gasoline or diesel:

• Less greenhouse gases than conventional gasoline
• Significantly fewer emissions of criteria air contaminants
• Significantly fewer air toxins that impact air quality and human health

Numerous studies have shown that airborne particles cause serious health problems and negatively impact society. The Ontario Medical Association estimates that air pollution results in almost 5,800 premature deaths and 17,000 hospital admissions in a single year, in Ontario alone.

School boards are particularly interested in these health effects and not surprisingly, have been early adopters to Propane conversion. School bus fleets that convert to Propane reduce children's exposure to toxic diesel exhaust and save millions of dollars in the process.

Propane is Clean

• Propane is more environmentally friendly than gasoline or diesel, up to 26% less greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) than conventional gasoline, significantly fewer emissions of criteria air contaminants, and air toxins that impact air quality and human health (Ivey)
• using Propane instead of conventional gasoline reduces particulate matter (PM10) by 40%, nitrogen oxides by 50% and total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions by 87% (Alternative Fuels Vehicle Institute)

Propane makes a Real Difference

• moving people and goods accounts for 19% of Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)
• converting a single high consumption vehicle (i.e. 60,000 km annually) to propane instead of gasoline will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by approximately 1.8 tonnes (Ivey)
• convert 60,000 vehicles and reduce GHG by 240,000 tonnes
• convert 80,000 vehicles and reduce GHG by 320,000 tonnes
• convert 100,000 vehicles and reduce GHG by 400,000 tonnes
