Print this Article | Send to Colleague
In August, the CPA submitted a brief to the New Brunswick government as
part of the province’s efforts to fight climate change. The brief
highlighted climate change solutions that propane can offer New
Brunswick for transportation, public infrastructure, back-up energy, and
remote and rural communities. The CPA is pleased to announce that in
its recommendations, the committee included propane as a mitigation
measure. Key highlights included:
- Transportation Emissions – Working with the freight and trucking industry to increase fuel efficiency in commercial trucking and pilot the use of alternative fuels such as propane, natural gas, and bio-diesel; and increasing the uptake of vehicles fuelled by propane.
- Agriculture – Linking financial incentives to the development of farm-management plans that include methane and fertilizer management.
- Clean Technology – Creating growth and jobs in the areas of clean technology and providing access to infrastructure funding.
