Boro Fuel Oil Co., Inc. to launch BioGreen

Boro Fuel Oil Co., Inc., a Brooklyn fuel and energy services dealer for 80 years, is going green. On November 1, the company introduced BioGreenâ„¢ - a new premium biofuel that's kind to both heating systems and Mother Nature. Boro Fuel Oil is the first heating oil dealer in New York City to offer BioGreen. A blend of traditional heating oil and 10% soybean oil, eco-friendly BioGreen premium biofuel is clean, renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic. BioGreen is also kind to the American economy: Domestically produced from soybeans grown in the U.S.A., BioGreen helps to support American agriculture and reduces our dependence on foreign oil. "We are proud to be at the forefront of the green energy revolution with our eco-friendly BioGreen," said Jeff Cohn, president of Boro Fuel Oil. "And, of course, we're proud to be the first heating oil dealer in Brooklyn to offer this breakthrough product. Not every fuel company out there offers a green, clean fuel like BioGreen. It's one more way we're helping our customers save energy... which also saves them money." "BioGreen is just another way Boro Fuel Oil has been going green," said Cohn. BioGreenâ„¢ also offers heating oil customers the following benefits: * BioGreen burns cleaner than conventional heating oil - it contains almost no sulfur, and significantly reduces emissions that contribute to air pollution and global warming. * BioGreen has the highest BTU content of any alternative fuel, for satisfying warmth. * BioGreen lubricates heating system parts more thoroughly and efficiently - 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. "For decades, we've been helping our customers save energy - whether by installing the latest high-efficiency comfort equipment, performing annual tune-ups to keep their heating systems working at top condition, or offering conservation advice to help them reduce their carbon footprint," said Cohn. "With the introduction of BioGreen, we're making New York City a greener place to live," said Cohn. Boro Fuel Oil is particularly pleased to enter the exciting world of biofuels. Available to residential and commercial customers, the company is rolling out its BioGreen brand with a dedicated website, www.BioGreenNY.com.
