Biodiesel as a Heating Fuel

Biodiesel has been used as a fuel in household and industrial heating applications. The product can be used neat (no petroleum oils) and normally requires no systemic modifications for its use. Since biodiesel is an oxygenated fuel, often only a recalibration of the air-fuel mixture is necessary. Any certified fuel heating system technician should be able to make the proper adjustments with simple jet changes and air balance adjustments.

Of course, the same environmental benefits are realized as described for using biodiesel in transportation applications. The result is reduced airborne emissions for all associated pollutants including a 0% level for sulfur, which has been shown to cause acid rain.
