Certain homeowners and business here in Central Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire are focused on how to make their homes and worksites as environmentally friendly as possible. While this can sometimes be quite the undertaking and require a lot of work, this is, fortunately, not the case for a heating system that relies on a boiler or furnace thanks to Bioheat fuel!
Bioheat fuel falls under the umbrella category of heating oil, but it is different than your conventional heating oil.
Bioheat fuel is a type of fuel and an energy source that is made from a combination of ultra-low sulfur heating oil and biodiesel (this is a liquid fuel made here in the United States from organic and recycled waste products such as used cooking oil, soybean oil, inedible corn oil, canola oil and animal fats).
When used as a replacement for petroleum heating oil, Bioheat fuel can cut down on emissions by about 50%. It produces considerably less mercury emissions, carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide and particulate matter than petroleum heating oil does.
Currently, about 3 billion gallons of Bioheat fuel is made here in the United States a year and that number is climbing steadily.
Switching your boiler or furnace over to Bioheat fuel from traditional heating oil doesn’t require that any changes be made to your home’s heating equipment. However, making this change can reduce your home’s greenhouse gas emissions and help your heating system work more efficiently. On top of all that, Bioheat fuel is relatively affordable.
Clearly Bioheat fuel is a great option in terms of the environment. But being environmentally friendly isn’t the only good thing about the energy source. Bioheat fuel also:
The heating oil industry has a goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve this goal a product is being developed that is made of 100% biodiesel. This will eventually help both homeowners and business achieve net-zero carbon emissions without having to spend an astronomical amount of money.
