Heating oil is getting better all the time. And while the fuel that you’re familiar with has always been safe and has always kept you comfortable, advancements in fuel technology promise more benefits in the future.
Advanced heating fuels like ultra-low sulfur heating oil (ULSHO) and Bioheat® fuel are becoming more popular around the country. ULSHO contains very little sulfur and this helps heating oil systems run more efficiently.
Bioheat fuel is the industry’s official registered name for the fuel that consists of a blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil with renewable biodiesel that’s made from organic and recycled products. These products can range from soybean oil, used cooking oils, inedible corn oil, canola, tallow, fats and even algae.
Bioheat fuel is sourced and produced right here in the United States, supporting local farmers, local industries and local economies. That’s good news for South Carolina!
The most refined grade of heating oil available, Bioheat fuel is one of the cleanest burning heating sources for your home or business. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions significantly and no changes to your existing heating oil system are necessary if you want to use Bioheat fuel.
Here’s why the use of Bioheat fuel is a game changer in terms of reducing carbon emissions.
