Benefits Of Biofuels In Home And Office Heating
Today sounds the cry to help our environment and to “go green” and everyone in the world is looking to contribute. No different in this is the home heating industry. Taking charge in the community in providing customers with Bioheat options for homes and businesses is what energy companies are looking to do.
Biodiesel is a new form of fuel that is derived from animal fats or vegetable oils and is a renewable resource. Recently Pullum/Sibling Energy, for example, converted to Bioheat in their offices and is offering the same option to their customers. All in the name of helping the environment.
The advantages of using Bioheat are numerous. They include the fact that the fuel emits 83 percent less sulfur emissions when it makes up only 20% of the fuel mixture (this fuel is referred to as B20). The B20 mixture also reduces nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide by 20% and 16% respectively. Many are already aware that carbon dioxide is the major contributor to global warming. Biofuels used for Bioheat do produce carbon dioxide but the plants that are used to derive the fuel remove a greater amount during their lifespan, so in effect the process of making Biofuel actually removes carbon dioxide from our environment helping to actual reverse atmospheric levels of C02!
B20 fuel is readily available, and can work with existing fuel oil burners, though a heating system that runs on 100% Biofuel often requires modifications. A minimal price for this (between 2-5% increase in a year’s course), with a positive effect it has on the environment, and the environmentally-conscious consumer finds this a great choice.
In the practice of heading towards “green”, energy companies like Pullum/Sibling Energy, for example, letting responsibility ride on them as they are looking to incorporate the use of Biofuel in as many of their applications as possible. Perhaps this practice will be it’s leading the industry for the environmentally conscious for many years to come.
