FRESNO – Propel Fuels is bringing locally produced, low carbon fuels to drivers in Fresno, California, through the Clean Mobility Center. The station, located at 4994 E. Ashlan Avenue, will be the first in Fresno to offer E85 and biodiesel, sourced from Central Valley producers including Community Fuels in Stockton and Calgren Renewable Fuels in Pixley.

Fresno’s Clean Mobility Center will also enable drivers to offset carbon from their fuel purchases, improve their vehicle’s fuel economy, find public transit, tune bicycles and recycle on the go. (See more on Propel Fuels in the 2012 NACS “Ideas 2 Go”DVD.)

“Rapid swings in fuel prices are a constant reminder of our need to increase choice and competition in the fuel market,” said Matt Horton, CEO of Propel, in a press release. “And as more consumers embrace local, renewable fuels and seek cleaner means of transportation, Propel Clean Mobility Centers will help make progress toward our country’s most pressing economic and environmental issues.”

“Until now, Fresno’s drivers have not had the option of filling up with renewable fuels like E85 and biodiesel,” said Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin. “Our community welcomes these new choices at the pump and our city is pleased to play a role in supporting local manufacturing.”

Propel currently operates more than 35 stations throughout California and Washington State with more than 200 stations planned for new and existing markets over the next two years.
