Bioheat® Fuel Oil
Springfield Terminals, Inc., is a proud supplier of Bioheat—the cleaner, greener, eco-friendly heating fuel.
What Is Bioheat?
Bioheat fuel is a blend of traditional home heating oil with biodiesel, which is made from renewable resources such as soybean oil and recycled cooking oil. This environmentally friendly fuel is used in place of standard #2 heating oil for residential and commercial heating, and offers great benefits to both consumers and the environment. Biodiesel is derived from natural resources that are produced domestically, which reduces our dependency on foreign oil and creates more jobs in the U.S.
