About Propel


Together we’re fueling change.

Fueling change means empowering drivers with a way to make clean fuel a part of our daily lives. We believe the American consumer has waited too long for a better fueling option, one that positively affects our economy, our environment and the engines that power our lives.

Propel builds, owns and operates a growing network of clean fueling points. Our goal is to provide you with easy access to high quality clean fuels, and quantify the positive impact of your fuel choice. Propel CleanDrive shows the difference you make when you choose renewable fuels instead of petroleum. And we’re building clean fuel points both at traditional gas stations, and in new locations convenient to you.

Together we can change what we put in our fuel tanks, and make it easy to do so.

Carbon neutral operations

CarbonFree with CarbonFund.org

Low carbon fuel, carbon free operations. Propel offices and Clean Fuel Points operate carbon neutral. In addition to sustainable & efficient site design, we offset the balance of our energy use with carbonfund.org to fund projects in renewable energy, energy-efficient technologies, and planting carbon-absorbing trees.
