Delivering Biofuel for a Better Future
SMARTBIOFUEL
For the past decade, Quinoco has been delivering a product called SmartBiofuel, a blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil with a bio component called biodiesel. Biodiesel is a heating oil replacement that is produced from a variety of renewable resources, such as plant oils, animal fats, and even algae, making it one of the most sustainable fuels on the planet.
What does this mean for you?
It’s Clean! In fact, emissions of greenhouse gases from SmartBiofuel are lower than those from natural gas.
It’s Cleansing! SmartBiofuel is a smoother fuel with a high lubricity which means that it cleans your tank and heating system as it burns and helps to extend the life of your equipment.
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR
Ten years ago, trucks were spewing black soot out of their stacks as they drove down the highway – have you noticed that doesn’t happen anymore? This is the result of reduced sulfur in the fuel. Just like the auto industry, the heating oil industry has been drastically reducing the sulfur content in our fuel. In fact, since 2018, all heating oil in CT has been mandated to be ultra-low sulfur.
What does this mean for you?
It’s Clean! The lower the sulfur content, the less sulfur dioxide your system emits – sulfur dioxide contributes to acid rain and haze.
It’s Efficient! Your heating system runs more efficiently which reduces the amount of fuel you use and helps lower the amount of equipment maintenance needed.
ADDITIVES
Fuel additives are where many heating oil companies differ when it comes to the quality of the fuel they deliver. Before delivering to your home, we mix an additive into our fuel called Heating Oil Plus, one of the most advanced additives on the market. Heating Oil Plus complements SmartBiofuel to reduce sulfur buildup, boost system performance and help to stabilize the fuel and protect the system’s components, especially in cold weather.
What does this mean for you?
It’s Cleansing! Heating Oil Plus acts as a detergent that cleans your tank and heating system. It also prevents corrosion and degradation of the fuel which helps to extend the lifetime of your equipment.
