Bioheat® is making renewable energy a reality. While we’re still exploring the full capabilities of Bioheat® blends above 5%, this is certain: we can replace 5% of the petroleum oil used for heating homes in America right now, with no ramifications. That’s a reduction of hundreds of thousands of gallons of foreign oil.
What makes Bioheat® good for the environment?
Biodiesel is made from renewable resources like soybeans, and biodegrades as quickly as sugar. It promotes better air quality because it produces lower emissions than petroleum diesel. Unlike most fuels, Biodiesel actually has a positive energy balance – 5.54 to 1. EPA current greenhouse gas reductions as compared to heating oil or petroleum diesel.
