Biofuel is an alternative fuel sourced from renewable feedstocks inc
luding soybeans, animal fats, and used cooking oil. In other words, biofuel is made from biomass, which makes it an organic renewable energy source. The conversion is a multistep process that involves biological and chemical deconstruction. Mixing biofuel together with ultra-low sulfur heating oil gives you Bioheat® fuel, an eco-friendlier alternative to traditional heating oil and natural gas. Learn more about common types of

As of mid-2022, in the northeast, New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut all require a minimum blend of 5 percent biofuel into heating oil sold.

Since the need for higher bio blends seems to be increasing with each passing year, we have compiled a list of the
top five benefits of adding biofuel to your heating oil to help homeowners understand the benefits of making the switch.
