What are the approved oilheat fuels recognized by NORA?

The selection of #1 and #2 heating oil along with biodiesel blends as the approved oilheat fuels recognized by NORA highlights the organization's commitment to promoting clean, efficient, and sustainable heating options.

#1 and #2 heating oils are traditional heating fuels derived from petroleum, providing reliable and efficient heating for residential and commercial spaces. Biodiesel blends are increasingly important because they offer a renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. The blending of biodiesel with traditional heating oil enhances fuel performance while also supporting the market for renewable energy sources.

This approach not only meets the demand for heating but also aligns with modern expectations for sustainability and environmental responsibility, thereby promoting the advancement of the oilheat industry in a changing energy landscape. Other options, which include fuels like natural gas and coal, do not fit into the category of oilheat fuels, underlining the distinctive classification NORA uses to define approved heating fuels.
