Performance standards for Bioheat Plus fuel have been approved by ASTM International, an organization that sets industry standards for fuels and lubricants.

Here are a few helpful facts about Bioheat Plus fuel:

• Biodiesel/Bioheat Plus fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions (sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide) by 50% to 86%, compared with traditional heating oil or diesel fuel, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the California Air Resources Board.
• Bioheat Plus fuel enables your heating system to burn fuel far more efficiently, due to its having virtually no sulfur. You’ll see this reflected in lower heating bills.
