“This station marks another step forward in expanding access to clean, affordable energy,” said Matthew Wade, deputy director of Virginia Clean Cities (VCC). “It’s about giving fleet operators the infrastructure they need to make the switch to renewable propane and reduce their environmental footprint.”
On October 9th, 2025, VCC staff joined Alliance AutoGas and the Propane Education & Research Council in celebrating the opening of Virginia’s newest propane autogas fueling station. Located near the Richmond International Airport, this new station is strategically located to support growing demand from fleet operators, public agencies, and the general public seeking to reduce emissions and fuel costs. Henrico County Public Schools’ propane-powered buses and Park ‘N Go’s airport shuttle vans will be some of the station’s first users.
According to the Richmond-based Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), propane autogas vehicles can cut harmful emissions by up to 96% and lower operating costs by as much as 50% compared with diesel.
