Hale Hill offers Bioheat and Biodiesel blends for home heating, on-highway and off-highway use.

Hale Hill Biofuel's B20  Bioheat customers have collectively

reduced the carbon foot print of Connecticut residents by 128

tons so far this season!

In addition, our trucks reduced their carbon dioxide (CO2)

emissions by another 16 tons (in comparison to using imported Petro-Diesel).

Thank You for your leadership, commitment and stewardship toward our environment.

 What is Bioheat?

Bioheat (B20) is a blend of 80% low sulfur No. 2 home heating oil and 20% biodiesel. This blend percentage ensures the safe and consistent operation of current equipment while maximizing the environmental benefits of biodiesel.

   What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a cleaner burning, domestic and renewable fuel that can be refined from vegetable oil, animal fats or waste grease. The biodiesel we use in our B20 blend is made from soy beans grown on American farms and is supplied to us by Greenleaf Biofuels.

Biodiesel in pure form?

•  Is renewable

•  Is less toxic than table salt

• Biodegrades as fast as sugar and is suitable for sensitive environments

• Blends easily with petroleum products

• Reduces exhaust emissions including toxins by up to 78% (16% in a B20 blend)

• Substantially reduces unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, thus reducing the localized formation of smog

• Dramatically reduces polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nPAH), which have been identified as potential cancer causing compounds

• Essentially eliminates emissions of sulfur oxides and sulfates (20% reduction in a B20 blend), thus reduces major components of acid rain.

• Reduces global warming gas emissions

• Is made in the United States from agricultural resources

Why should I use Biofuels?

Using biodiesel supports our domestic economy, reduces our dependence on foreign oil and enhances our national security. Furthermore, using biodiesel will significantly decrease emissions of greenhouse gases and particulate matter that contribute to lung disease.
