B5 ULS Heating Oil is a Bioheat® fuel oil blend that is 95% Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil and 5% biodiesel. Because it is generated from renewable and recycled resources such as agricultural vegetable oil by-products and recycled animal fats, biodiesel is considered to be a renewable form of fuel. All biodiesel has to meet the strict technical requirements set by the ASTM, so you can rest assured that you will get a high-quality product no matter which local fuel delivery company you buy it from.
Is Bioheat® affordable? The good news is that the cost of Bioheat® fuel has been reduced to a level where it is comparable to that of traditional heating oil for some time now.
Do I need a new heating system to use Bioheat® fuel?
No expensive conversions are required! If you currently have a boiler or furnace that uses liquid fuel, then your system can use Bioheat® fuel without any modifications.
What makes Bioheat® safer, cleaner, and more efficient?
Bioheat® fuel is low-carbon and readily available, which makes it better, cleaner, and safer for the environment. Since Bioheat® fuel is produced from renewable resources, it is a real low-carbon energy option that reduces carbon and greenhouse gas emissions today and will continue to do so as it develops into a fuel that is completely carbon neutral. As a result of the reduced emissions, Bioheat burns more cleanly and efficiently than traditional heating oil.
