Fewer harmful emissions than natural gas over a 20-year period.
-

You might not realize it, but, as an Island Energy customer, you're already heating your home using clean Bioheat® fuel! In doing so, you’re helping to improve the air quality of your home, your Island neighborhood and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. And you’re not alone!
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has considered legislation that would make Bioheat® fuel the statewide standard for heating oil. This legislation hasn’t been passed yet, but if it does, Island Energy and our customers will be ahead of the game because the only heating oil we sell is Bioheat® fuel.
