You’ve seen the headlines. From advancements in vehicle technology to new funding and applications for alternative and sustainable fuels, the energy industry is evolving — and with that evolution comes new opportunity for propane to grow gallons.
Whether those gallons lie in new markets, new funding and grant opportunities, avenues to expand infrastructure or new products, we’re investing in the tools that can help you go after and capture those opportunities as they emerge.
As green initiatives and low carbon legislation continue to shape the market for renewable fuels, we’re keeping a pulse on newer product offerings like renewable propane and the opportunities they could hold for your business.
We’re also committed to building a framework that can support and encourage new volume in your territories. Our lease-to-own Storage for Pennies program is designed to help build up storage infrastructure where you need it most, and with our Propane-Powered™ Rebate Program we’re investing to bring autogas infrastructure to rural America. To date, CHS has already invested millions of dollars with the installation of over 90 autogas dispensers across the country through this program, with more to come.
Last, but certainly not least, we’re investing in the tools, training and support that can break down the barriers that can come with growing volume. From market data and advertising tools, to expert intel from our in-house marketing consultants and business development managers, we’ve built a support system designed to partner with you through our upcoming CHS Propane Gallon-Grower Program.
We’re also tapping the support of key industry partners and more to keep you up-to-speed and prepared as our industry continues to evolve. Our recent “Become a Propane Champion” event and our March CHS Energy Roadshow are great examples of the one-of-a-kind training and opportunities we’re designing to help you grow, with more to come.
We know growing gallons doesn’t happen overnight or by accident, and as you’ll find with the topics featured in this edition, we’re ready to consult and partner with you through that process. We’re invested in supporting your growth each step of the way, and we look forward to growing together.
