BIOHEAT® Impact on Environment

One of the latest studies focusing on greenhouse gas emissions resulting from home heating fuels was unveiled in Boston in September 2008. The final report was sub-mitted by ICF International, a highly reputable professional services firm that is recognized worldwide as having expertise in energy, climate change, and the environ-ment. The "Resource Analysis of Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Residential Boilers for Space Heating and Hot Water," is a comprehensive study covering emissions and efficiency related to natural gas, heating oil, and biofuels in the context of a full fuel cycle analysis.

The report is an unbiased analysis of emissions and efficiency related to home heating fuels over the entire course of each fuel's life cycle (wellhead to burner tip). When used in conjunction with ultra low sulfur and biofuel products, heating oil holds a clear advantage over natural gas (NG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in both efficiency and reduced emissions.
