Wondering what makes up Bioheat? These every-day products of nature can be used to produce the alternative environment-friendly fuel:

• Avocado • Brazil Nut • Calendula • Cashew • Castor Bean • Coconut • Coffee • Corn • Cotton • Euphorbia • Hazelnut

• Hemp • Jojoba • Linseed • Lupine • Macadamia Nut • Oat • Oil Palm • Olive Tree • Palm • Peanut • Pecan

• Pumpkin Seed • Rapeseed • Rice • Rubber Seed • Safflower • Sesame • Soybean • Sunflower • Tung Oil Tree

Testing conducted by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) found that a Bioheat blend of 80% low-sulfur heating oil and 20% biodiesel (B20) reduced sulfur oxide emissions by as much as 80% or more. Nitrogen oxide emissions were lowered by about 20%. In addition, carbon dioxide emissions can be lowered by 20%. 

If everyone using heating oil used a B5 blend (5% biodiesel/95% heating oil), 400 million gallons of regular heating oil could be conserved. This would be a big step towards conserving oil, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
