BIOFUEL

M.L. Halle Oil is very proud to announce that we are going green!. As of December 1, 2009 we are delivering Bioheat. Our delivery trucks will also be running on Biodiesel.

This means that our #2 home heating oil will be combined with a greener energy source called biofuel. The ratio is 95% home heating oil to 5% biofuel. This blend is labeled B5.

Biofuel reduces our dependence on foreign oil and is a domestic renewable energy that improves our current trade deficit.

Biofuel is a american made product that, when combined with a petroleum-based product such as home heating oil, reduces CO2 emissions by 3.92% therefore improving our carbon footprint. Customers can also expect to see a reduction of around 5% in their fuel consumption.

Tests have shown that B5 burns cleaner and that no modifications to existing systems are necessary. Bioheat, at low blend ranges, has no ill effects on a burner’s performance.

Biodiesel is a blend of petroleum-based diesel and biofuel, most commonly B5. Currently, all engine manufacturers endorse the use of B5 in their engines. Customers using on-road Biodiesel have also seen an average increase of about ½ MPG in their fuel usage.

Both Bioheat and Biodiesel reduce carbon and sulfur dioxide emissions as well as soot and hydrocarbons resulting in a cleaner environment.
