Legislation calling for aggressive reductions in carbon emissions has been adopted throughout states in the northeast. The Oil Heat Industry has committed to meet this challenge by unanimously ratifying a resolution put forth by The National Energy & Fuels Institute (NEFI) calling for a 15% reduction in carbon emissions by 2023, followed by a 40% reduction by 2030 and Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Bio Fuel blends with increased levels of bio content meet these challenges and create a path forward for the industry. B20 Bio fuel, for which the Carlin burner is now approved, meets the first target of a 15% carbon reduction.

Best Practices

Proper Filtration

The National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) recommends single pipe oil systems and high-quality filtration for all fuel types. This should include at least a 10 micron Spin-on filter. Double filtration provides even greater assurance clean fuel will get to the pump. Contaminants in the tank that enter the fuel supply to the burner can cause pump sticking/seizing. These contaminants may increase in the early stages of transitioning to modern fuels (Ultra Low Sulfur and Bio Blends). High quality filtration adds protection against pump sticking
