Domestically produced heating oil blended with animal or plant oils, recognized as Bioheat fuel, is one renewable resource on the rise in popularity in the U.S. In fact, tests conducted by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) show some Bioheat® fuel blends can significantly reduce sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide emissions.
State and local officials are taking note of this, which is why some are looking at mandating the use of Bioheat in the very near future. And the good news is that moving to Bioheat is a painless process, as it can be used in virtually any existing oil furnace without making significant modifications.
