Renewable Bioheat Fuel
Finding renewable energy sources is a major concern for all Americans, from lawmakers to homeowners. Bioheat fuel, made from a combination of heating oil and biofuel, offers a promising solution. Renewable Bioheat fuel represents the future of oil heat technology.
Traditional oil heat is clean and affordable, and it warms your home effectively. Made from renewable resources, Bioheat has all the benefits of traditional heating oil, and then some. Bioheat is clean, green and efficient. Furthermore, it helps reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and it reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Using Bioheat in your home will help ensure that future generations have clean air and renewable energy sources.
Bioheat is Renewable
Bioheat fuel is made by combining heating oil with renewable biofuels, made from domestic products like soybeans. The main source of biofuel is soybean oil, which is an agricultural byproduct. Other sources of biofuel include corn, cotton and sunflower oils. Because it is made from domestically-grown, renewable crops, Bioheat is good for the environment and the economy. Heating oil combined with biofuel from crops grown in the U.S. reduces our reliance on foreign oil. Although oil sources will not be depleted any time soon, reducing our reliance on foreign oil sources is always a good thing. Adding renewable biofuels to existing oil reserves will help ensure that Americans have energy sources for generations to come.
Bioheat is Clean
Heating oil has always been environmentally friendly. Heating oil is biodegradable, non-carcinogenic and non-toxic, and emissions from modern oil heat furnaces are very low. Furthermore, regulations on sulfur content ensure that greenhouse gas emissions remain low. Bioheat fuel has all the environmentally-friendly attributes of traditional heating oil, and then some. Using Bioheat to warm your home is good for you and your neighbors. Combined with low-sulfur heating oil, Bioheat fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions. According to a study by the National Oil Heat Research Alliance, a blend of Bioheat and low-sulfur heating oil reduces emissions of sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide. Lower emissions mean that Bioheat improves the air quality in your home, and on a larger scale. Some cities and states require the use of low-sulfur and Bioheat fuels as a part of clean air initiatives.
Bioheat is Affordable
Bioheat oil offers the same benefits of tradition oil heat, including competitive pricing. Bioheat fuel works with your current oil heat system, so no costly updates are required to use it. Heating oil made with biofuels costs the same as traditional heating oil, and it warms your house as well as traditional oil. It helps lubricate your heating system while reducing emissions and extends the life of your heating system by keeping it cleaner, saving you money. Furthermore, many states offer tax incentives for families and individuals use renewable fuels like Bioheat.
