The environmental risks associated with carbon emissions have escalated over the last several decades. While modern technologies, such as industrial burner and boiler systems, have enhanced our standard of living, they have contributed to these rising emissions. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), burning fossil fuels for commercial and residential heating accounted for 13% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2020, with the total amount of emissions across all economic sectors totaling 5,981 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.
One of the ways we can effectively reduce these risks is by modifying the fuels we use within heating applications, converting legacy fuel trains from running on petroleum and other fossil fuels to clean, renewable, and biodegradable biofuels. Unlike fossil fuels, which slowly form naturally from dead plant and animal remains, biofuels are produced over a short period of time from plant-based biomass.
