The Future of Clean Fuel is Bioheat®
There is no denying the urgency that we need to have in removing greenhouse gas emissions from our environment. The heating oil industry has answered the call in a big way by switching to liquid renewable heating fuels like Bioheat® Fuel. For over a decade, Bioheat® Fuel has been changing the landscape of the heating oil industry and powering a boom in the renewable liquid fuel market.
Bioheat® Fuel requires no modifications to existing heating equipment. Customers who rely on heating oil for heat and hot water can seamlessly transition to Bioheat® Fuel and begin reducing their carbon footprint immediately. When combined with new, energy-efficient heating equipment, Bioheat® Fuel produces even fewer carbon emissions and your home can reach net-zero emissions with the use of B100 Bioheat® Fuel!
How is Bioheat® Fuel Created?
Bioheat® Fuel is created by blending ultra-low sulfur heating oil with organic biodiesel refined from used cooking oils and other plant-based oils. The fuel blend is named after the percentage of biodiesel used to create Bioheat® Fuel. For example, B5 is 5% biodiesel and 95% ULSHO, and B100 is 100% renewable biodiesel. The first B100-compatible burners were created last year, and heating oil dealers have started to offer B100 for delivery!
How Does Bioheat® Fuel Reduce Your Carbon Footprint?
The renewable properties of the biodiesel in Bioheat® Fuel reduce the greenhouse emissions of sulfur, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide. The higher the blend of the Bioheat® Fuel used in your boiler or furnace, the greater the reduction of carbon emissions! B20 is a common blend and can lower your CO2 emissions by approximately 15 percent.
