Boro Fuel Oil Co., Inc., which has been providing Brooklyn, NY residents and businesses with fuel and energy services for 80 years, is taking the plunge and going green.  On November 1st the company will become the first heating oil dealer in New York City to offer BioGreen – a new premium biofuel.

BioGreen is a blend of traditional heating oil and 10% soybean oil – a combo that is much more eco-friendly than traditional home heating oil.  The premium biofuel is clean, renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic.  Domestically produced BioGreen is also part of the ‘buy American’ movement -  it’s produced from soybeans grown in the U.S.A – and helps to support American agriculture and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

BioGreen offers heating oil customers the following benefits:

• BioGreen burns cleaner than conventional heating oil and significantly reduces emissions that contribute to air pollution and global warming.
• BioGreen has the highest BTU content of any alternative fuel.
• The product lubricates heating system parts – resulting in fewer service calls and a longer heating system lifespan.
• BioGreen costs the same as conventional heating oil – and consumers don’t need to modify their heating equipment or change their warranties.

BioGreen users will also be rewarded financially, thanks to New York State’s Bioheat Tax Credit, which allows Boro Fuel Oil customers a direct tax credit of 10 cents for each gallon of BioGreen they buy through 2011.
