Bioheat Fuel 101: A Simple Answer For A Cleaner Connecticut

Wondering what Bioheat® fuel is all about? You are not alone. This cleaner-burning heating option is gaining popularity, and for good reason. Bioheat® fuel is a sustainable blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil and biodiesel derived from renewable resources like soybean oil and recycled fats. The best part? You do not have to change your heating system to use it. Spring Brook Ice & Fuel is proud to deliver this renewable energy source throughout New Britain and Central Connecticut, helping local families reduce their carbon footprint, one gallon at a time.

Starting July 1, 2025, all heating oil delivered in Connecticut must contain at least 10% biodiesel (B10 Bioheat® fuel). This is part of a state-wide initiative to reduce emissions, with the blend increasing gradually to 50% by 2035. Spring Brook is fully prepared to meet this new standard delivering cleaner fuel without added cost or inconvenience for our customers.
