Alternative Fuels

Cleaner Energy through Renewable Fuels

With the growing importance of fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability, commercial fleets, public utilities, and government agencies turn to PS Energy Group to power their alternative fuel vehicles with clean energy fuels. We are a licensed supplier of these alternative fuels at the retail level and at onsite fueling locations: biodiesels, compressed natural gas, ethanol, gasohol, and propane.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, studies have estimated that ethanol and other biofuels could replace 30% or more of U.S. gasoline demand by 2030. PS Energy Group will be there to supply this growing need.

Biodiesel
Biodiesel can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant greases. It is safe, biodegradable, and burning it significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and serious toxic air pollutants. This makes it a cleaner-burning replacement for petroleum-based diesel fuel. Biodiesel is compatible with diesel engines and it does not require major engine modifications, which makes it a cost-effective alternative fuel for fleet managers considering its use.

Biodiesel can be legally blended with petroleum diesel in any percentage, B20 being a common blend. PS Energy Group supplies customer-owned fueling sites as well as its unattended fuel outlets in metro Atlanta.

Compressed Natural Gas
Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles include transit buses and fleet trucks which are generating fewer exhaust and greenhouse gas emissions than their gasoline- or diesel-powered counterparts. Two types of CNG fuel systems are on the market: CNG-dedicated vehicles, which operate exclusively on natural gas, and dual-fuel vehicles, which can use both natural gas and gasoline. PS Energy Group uses the extensive pipeline systems throughout the United States to supply compressed natural gas at all four of our unattended fuel outlets throughout metro Atlanta, for alternative fuel vehicles that run on both types of CNG fuel systems.

Ethanol
Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from the fermentation and subsequent distillation of various plant materials, or "biomass," including sugar cane, maize, or potatoes. Several blends of ethanol are being produced which reflect the ethanol-to-gasoline ratio in the fuel, from low-level to high-level blends (E10, E15-20, and E85). PS Energy Group supplies E85 ethanol at our Whitehall UFO; this alternative fuel can be used in flexible fuel vehicles. All other forms of ethanol are available upon request.

Gasohol
Gasohol is a fuel blend consisting of 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline—also known as E10. Gasohol has a high octane rating and produces lower levels of pollutants than ordinary gasoline.


Propane
Propane (or liquefied petroleum gas or LPG) is an alternative transportation fuel that is widely available throughout the United States; in fact, propane is the world's third most common engine fuel. Propane has high energy density and burns cleaner than petroleum. It was designated an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

PS Energy Group supplies liquid propane gas for use in vehicles such as light- and heavy-duty trucks, buses, taxi cabs, police cars, and rental and delivery vehicles. We deliver propane to commercial accounts and utilities in the southeast United States and can deliver nationwide through our vast supplier network.
