NYSEC supports increasing the current state law that requires the usage of a 20 % biodiesel blend in home heating oil to a 50 % biomass-based diesel blend by 2035 and a 100 % replacement of petroleum diesel with biomass-based diesel by 2050 . These actions would ultimately eliminate the use of 1 billion gallons of heating oil and reduce 8.59 million metric tons of carbon emissions , without the need for costly consumer equipment changes .
In September 2019 , the National Energy Fuels Institute ( NEFI ) hosted the Heating Oil Industry Summit in Providence , RI , at which the industry unanimously adopted what has become known as the Providence Resolution to move the industry to a clean burning fuel and transition away from conventional heating oil . The Providence Resolution resolved to reduce the carbon emissions of home heating systems in line with the state ’ s GHG reduction goals of 40 % by 2030 and Net-Zero by2050 . Bioheat is
