How Bioheat® Fuel Supports a Cleaner Environment

What Is Bioheat® Fuel?

Bioheat® fuel is a heating fuel that is a blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil and biodiesel derived from 100% renewable resources such as soybean oil and recycled cooking oils. This blend allows homeowners to continue using their existing heating oil systems while benefiting from a more environmentally conscious fuel option.

Environmental Benefits of Bioheat® Fuel

Bioheat® fuel is more environmentally friendly than many traditional fuel options thanks to the renewable biodiesel blend.

  • Has helped drive an overall greenhouse gas reduction by 33% over the past four decades
  • Reduces emissions up to 86% with 100% biodiesel blend
  • Provides a market for byproducts that might otherwise be considered waste
  • Supports local farmers and businesses

Save Money While Choosing a More Sustainable Fuel

One of the advantages of Bioheat® fuel is that most homeowners can use it without replacing their existing heating system. Because Bioheat® fuel works with traditional heating oil equipment, homeowners don’t have to worry about the cost or environmental impact of installing entirely new systems. This makes it easier to adopt a more sustainable heating option while continuing to rely on the dependable equipment already in place.

When it’s time to upgrade your equipment, installing a high-efficiency system can make Bioheat® fuel even more effective, further reducing fuel consumption and emissions. In many cases, homeowners may also be eligible for rebates or incentives when upgrading their heating equipment, which makes these important environmental decisions even more affordable.
