So what is it?
Bioheat® fuel is made by blending ultra-low sulfur heating oil with renewable biodiesel. Bioheat® fuel comes in a variety of blends that are identified by the percentage of biodiesel in the blend.
So Where Does Biodiesel Come From?
Biodiesel used to make Bioheat® fuel blends is domestically produced right here in the United States. Biodiesel is actually made from a whole handful of readily available feedstocks, including:
Soybean oil
Inedible corn oil
Animal fats
Canola oil
Used cooking oil
Since biodiesel can be made from a diverse number of sustainable feedstocks in the United States, it contributes to thousands of jobs and doesn’t put pressure onto a single source. In addition, all these feedstocks are proven to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly.
