It delivers the same reliable winter comfort homeowners expect, with fewer emissions and improved efficiency.
What Is Bioheat® Fuel?
Bioheat® fuel is an advanced home heating oil designed to provide dependable warmth while supporting cleaner energy initiatives. By combining traditional ultra-low sulfur heating oil with renewable biodiesel, Bioheat® fuel helps reduce emissions without sacrificing performance—making it an ideal solution for homes throughout the Capital Region.
What Is Bioheat® Fuel Made Of?
Bioheat® fuel consists of two key components:
Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil (ULSHO) – Cleaner than traditional heating oil and required by New York State
Biodiesel – A renewable fuel made from plant-based and recycled organic materials such as soybeans and used cooking oil
New York continues to increase biodiesel blending requirements, making Bioheat® fuel an important part of the state’s clean energy transition.
How Bioheat® Fuel Benefits Your Home
🔥 Reliable Heat in Cold Weather
Bioheat® fuel provides the same strong, consistent heat as traditional heating oil—even during harsh winter conditions.
🛠 Cleaner Combustion
Because Bioheat® fuel burns cleaner, it can help reduce soot buildup and system wear, supporting long-term heating efficiency.
🏡 No Equipment Changes Needed
If your home already uses heating oil, Bioheat® fuel works right away with your existing furnace or boiler—no system upgrades required.

Environmental Benefits of Bioheat® Fuel
🌱 Lower Carbon Emissions
Bioheat® fuel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional heating oil, depending on the blend.
♻ Renewable Energy Sources
The biodiesel component is made from renewable and recycled materials, helping decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
🇺🇸 Supports American Energy
Bioheat® fuel helps support U.S. agriculture and domestic energy production.
Bioheat® Fuel vs Other Heating Options
Bioheat® vs Electric Heat
Electric heating depends on the power grid, which can become strained during peak winter demand. Bioheat® fuel delivers consistent heat output without relying on electricity alone.
Bioheat® vs Natural Gas
Natural gas infrastructure isn’t available everywhere and prices can fluctuate. Bioheat® fuel is stored onsite and delivered reliably—especially valuable for rural and suburban homes.
