ALON 7-Eleven and GreenPrint Expand

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. , November 13, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​​​After early indicators of success, ALON 7-Eleven and GreenPrint LLC, creator of the first reduced emission fuel program, announced continued growth of the Strive – Reduced Emissions Fuel Program as it expands to an additional 14 stations, more than doubling the size of the program’s footprint. The innovative and turnkey sustainability program is now available at all 312 pumps in the Albuquerque market.  

The Strive – Reduced Emissions Fuel Program reduces consumers’ tailpipe emissions through GreenPrint’s proprietary platform and investments in local, regional, and global certified carbon reduction projects. Unlike alternative fuels, GreenPrint’s reduced emissions gasoline program requires no new software, hardware, new tanks, or equipment that would require a capital expense and installation. Instead, consumers with existing traditional vehicles pump the same high-quality ALON fuel as always. While benefiting the environment, the program also aims to drive incremental volume and sales, increase loyalty, and change consumer behavior.

“As we continue the growth of the ALON footprint in Albuquerque, we’re thrilled to see the positive impact that Strive Fuel is bringing to the community and to our stations,” said Jonathan Ketchum, Senior Vice President of Southwest Convenience Stores.

The Strive – Reduced Emissions Fuel Program has offset over 18,000,000 pounds of CO2 from ALON 7-Eleven consumers since launching in July of 2015. The local community has also benefitted from the partnership as over 1,000 trees have been planted in the Santa Fe National Forest and along the Rio Grande River. Strive and ALON partnered to sponsor this year’s Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, enabling the carbon neutral flight of 550 hot air balloons.

“The fact that ALON is working to make our environment and community a priority, is a really great feeling,” said Rudy Arviso, Albuquerque resident and ALON customer. “I was able to plant trees with my family along the Rio Grande with Tree New Mexico thanks to ALON and the Strive program; that day is one that we often reminisce about. I think it’s a great program, and I hope to see it at every gas station one day.”
