Home heating is responsible for a significant share of residential carbon emissions, and nd Bioheat® fuel is one of the few solutions already doing something about it. Made with renewable biodiesel from sustainable feedstocks, it burns cleaner than conventional heating oil and its environmental impact grows with every increase in blend level.
What Makes Bioheat® Fuel Different
Biodiesel, the renewable component in Bioheat® fuel, is produced from materials that would otherwise go to waste, such as plant oils and byproducts of existing food supply chains. Because it’s made from renewable, recycled sources rather than extracted petroleum, it carries a significantly lower carbon footprint from the start. As the blend level rises, so does the impact.

The Result: Cleaner Air, Lower Emissions & Real Results
The environmental case for Bioheat® fuel isn’t built on future promises. It’s built on what’s already happening in communities across the country.
- B10 (10% biodiesel blend) eliminates the equivalent of 100 million gallons of heating oil, enough to make roughly 102,000 homes carbon neutral, while also reducing sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and mercury emissions.1
- B20 (20% biodiesel blend) delivers a 14.6% reduction in CO emissions.1
- B50 (50% biodiesel blend) eliminates 500 million gallons of heating oil and 4.29 million metric tons of carbon.
- B100 (100% biodiesel) reduces greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 74%.2
Starting sooner matters. The longer you use Bioheat® fuel, the more emissions you help reduce over time. Dig into the numbers and the impact your home heating fuel can make.
