From the National Biodiesel Board:
Dear Biodiesel Alliance-Backers Supporters:
With winter weather blanketing much of the country, more people are realizing that cleaner burning biodiesel can be used to power their oil furnaces and boilers, significantly lowering emissions. By using an American-made fuel, heating oil companies are working to extend the oil supply and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources of oil.
Recent research and testing, in Warwick Rhode Island Public Schools, by the Massachusetts Oilheat Council, and by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, have demonstrated that using biodiesel blended with petroleum biodiesel for heating reduces sulfur content and harmful emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and soot without affecting efficiency. A number of energy retailers in Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states are offering, or have plans to offer, biodiesel for home heating.
You can find more information in a news release at Heating Oil Industry Leaders See Emerging Market for Biodiesel.
We encourage you to forward this exciting news to others who may be interested. Thanks in advance for your support.
