Heating Oil and Power Generation

Meet the growing consumer demand for high-performance heating oil that also reduces emissions with Bioheat® blended fuel from Chevron Renewable Energy Group. 

Biodiesel brings economic, efficiency and environmental benefits to more than just diesel vehicles. For example, blending traditional heating oil with biodiesel results in Bioheat® blended fuel, a lower carbon option for heating homes and buildings. Another fuel type is Chevron Renewable Energy Group Bio-Residual™ Oil, which can be used for heat, power generation or other industrial purposes.

Service tech notices “huge difference”

Fast Facts

  • Cohler Fuel Oil Co. has been serving four boroughs of New York City since 1939
  • The company has transitioned to offering Bioheat® in the last several years
  • Their NORA-certified mechanics have noticed a big  difference in the performance of their customers’  heating equipment

Results

  • Bioheat® helps fight carbon accumulation on the surfaces of heat exchangers, which is what  Calvaruso views as the No. 1 problem affecting the efficiency of heating systems
  • Customers have had an overwhelmingly positive  attitude toward Bioheat® and its advantages

In their own words

“Since we started using biodiesel, there’s been a  noticeable drop-off in carbon build-up related service calls. Less carbon translates into better efficiency for the system. That makes everybody happy — customers and us.”
