Bioheat® fuel is a cleaner-burning, renewable heating oil that keeps homes warm while reducing environmental impact. Made by blending ultra-low sulfur heating oil with biodiesel from renewable resources, Bioheat® fuel works seamlessly in existing oil heating systems—no upgrades required. 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.
