Eco-friendly Oilheat

You may never have thought of your home heating system that way - but it's true. Know the facts, and feel good about Oilheat:

• Home heating oil is biodegradable.
• Today's home Oilheat systems produce "near-zero" emissions into the atmosphere.
• In fact, Oilheat burns so cleanly that residential emissions aren't even regulated by the Federal Clean Air Act.
• With Oilheat, your "environmental footprint" is smaller than ever: New high-efficiency systems consistently produce more heat with less fuel -homes today use approximately 40% less fuel than in the 1970s.

Bioheat®:

Bioheat - Bioheat is standard heating oil blended with biodegradable, organic materials such as soybean oil, vegetable oil, corn or even algae. Renewable and non-toxic, Bioheat is kind to heating systems as well as the environment.

What are the benefits of Bioheat?


• The biomass products (soy, corn, peanuts) to produce Bioheat can be grown in the United States and the fuel produced domestically - supporting our nation's farmers and reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
• Bioheat is extremely clean-burning and environmentally-friendly. Testing conducted by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) found that a Bioheat blend of 80% low-sulfur heating oil and 20% biodiesel (B20) reduced sulfur oxide emissions by as much as 80% or more; nitrogen oxide emissions by about 20%; carbon dioxide emissions by 20%.
• It has the highest BTU content of any alternative fuel - with extremely satisfying warmth.
• It costs approximately the same as "regular oil."
• You don't have to make any modifications to your burner or tank.
• You don't have to change your budget plan, payment plan, service contract or warranties.
• If everyone using heating oil switched to a B5 blend (5% biodiesel/95% heating oil), 400 million gallons of regular heating oil could be conserved. This would be a big step towards conserving oil, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
