Bioheat

Bioheat is a blend of biofuel and heating oil (or No. 2 Fuel Oil) for off-road, non-taxable heating applications. It is very similar to Biodiesel, and in fact, in the United States the term "Bioheat" is a registered trademark of the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) and the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA). These groups have approved blends of up to 5% biofuel, or B5 Bioheat.
