Fuel of the Future: Environmentally Friendly Biodiesel Heating Oil

Cubby delivers ultra clean Bioheat® fuel. It will make you feel proud to heat your home with “oil.”

What is Bioheat® fuel?

Bioheat fuel

Far more beneficial than electric conversions

Did you know the average cost of converting to an electric air-source heat pump system in Massachusetts is nearly $21,572*? Bioheat fuel offers you a heat source that is both higher in efficiency, and affordability in comparison.

Bioheat® fuel is made by combining renewable Biodiesel with ultra-low sulfur heating oil.

We think that the future of our planet is worth it, and include a higher amount of renewable fuel, without passing on the cost to our customers. That’s right — you get a better, cleaner product, but at our regular competitive rate!

Best of all, you don’t need to make any modifications to your system. We deliver it just like the old-fashioned stuff, but that’s where the comparison ends.

What makes Cubby’s Bioheat fuel so special?

By mixing in renewable biodiesel, several really important things happen:

1. Harmful greenhouse gas emissions are cut by 40%, immediately. In fact, our fuel emits fewer harmful greenhouse gas emissions than Natural Gas! A lot has changed in the last few years. According to a comprehensive report conducted by Brookhaven National Laboratory and presented to Congress in 2015 by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA), biofuel blends containing 20% or more Bioheat fuel produce lower greenhouse gas emissions than natural gas!

   • We use biodiesel that is sourced locally from waste products like used cooking oil, plants, and other renewable resources. So, we are not just improving the air quality, we’re reducing landfill use.
   • You get higher heating efficiency and easier maintenance, since our ultra-low-sulfur Bioheat fuel leaves fewer deposits on heat exchangers. You should experience fewer breakdowns, and extended system lifespan as well.
2. It enables us to take advantage of breakthroughs in heating equipment efficiency, particularly those coming from Europe, which requires the combination of ultra-low sulfur fuel and Bioheat fuel. You can check out some of the current options we sell here: modern oil heating equipment.

6 Bioheat Fuel Benefits

1. Reduces U.S. reliance on imported oil and supports domestic energy security; by replacing millions of gallons of petroleum-based heating oil, American homes will be far less vulnerable to any supply disruptions from overseas unrest or geopolitics.
2. Supports tens of thousands of U.S. jobs and generates income of more than $1.5 billion that gets circulated throughout the American economy
3. Helps provide cleaner air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Because of its much lower sulfur content, Bioheat fuel burns far cleaner than standard No. 2 heating oil.
4. Relies on renewable, biodegradable, nontoxic resources; our country can continually produce new supplies throughout the nation, and it is virtually free of sulfur and other impurities.
5. Saves wear and tear on equipment, preventing the need for expensive equipment replacement. The result of cleaner burning is fewer breakdowns, longer equipment life and better fuel efficiency.
6. Requires no equipment refits — if your heating system uses regular fuel oil, it can use Bioheat fuel right now!

The next time someone says oil is oil; please ask them to call us. Oil quality can vary from dealer to dealer, but Cubby delivers ultra-low-sulfur Bioheat fuel to our customers.
