Benefits of Bioheat For Your Business
Here’s how commercial heating oil can help
Business owners everywhere, including those throughout central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, are always looking for ways to better their companies and operate more efficiently.
For those business owners who use commercial heating oil, Bioheat fuel can do exactly this.
The Basics of Bioheat Fuel
Bioheat fuel is a combination of ultra-low-sulfur heating oil and biodiesel. Biodiesel is a liquid fuel that is produced in the United States and is made from recycled and organic waste products such as used cooking oil, soybean oil, canola oil, inedible corn oil and animal fats.
Like biodiesel, Bioheat fuel is, for the most part, also made in the United States. It is considered an energy source and it can be used as a replacement for petroleum heating oil. When it is used this way, emissions decrease by about 50%.
The Benefits of Bioheat fuel
Using Bioheat fuel for your business is beneficial in many ways. Bioheat fuel:
- Decreases a company’s greenhouse emissions. Bioheat fuel significantly decreases sulfur oxide, carbon dioxide, particulate matter and mercury emissions of a heating system. These lower levels of greenhouse emissions and toxicity is not only better for the environment, but it’s also better for a business’s heating equipment.
- Improves the efficiency of a business’s heating system.
- Decreases the operational costs of a business. Bioheat fuel helps a heating system’s combustion efficiency and extends the time between a heating system’s servicing appointments, which, in turn, helps business owners spend less on energy bills and maintenance costs.
- Is safe for any boiler or furnace.
- Lasts a long time. Bioheat fuel has a shelf life of about 18 to 24 months, which is a pretty long time. Therefore, business owners don’t have to worry about needing to order a new supply very often.
Other Facts To Know About Bioheat fuel
Interested in learning more about Bioheat fuel? Great! Here is some more additional helpful information about commercial heating oil:
- Bioheat fuel customers get the same amount and level of heat that traditional heating oil customers get while reducing toxic emissions.
- The heating oil industry is working on creating a product made of 100% biodiesel. The hope is that this product will help the heating industry reach its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
- Switching from traditional heating oil to Bioheat fuel doesn’t require making any changes to your current oil-powered boiler or furnace.
- The United States makes about 3 billion gallons of Bioheat fuel a year and this number is only expected to go up.
