Renewable Heating Oil Being Used In Norfolk Town

At the moment in Reepham,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is an interesting trial taking place. Reepham is a small town in the heart of Norfolk. Thirty one buildings including the local school are taking part in a trial which involves them testing how efficient renewable heating oil is. The main reason for the trial however, is to test how well this type of heating works and not necessarily to test how cost effective it is. At the moment this type of renewable fuel works out more expensive than the standard oil, but this could all change in the future.

There are a number of products which make up renewable heating oil including kerosene, vegetable oil and animal fat and it is called a biodiesel. Storage of this fuel is the same as regular heating oil i.e. in an oil tank and it can be used exactly the same way. Although one of the issues that many people have with this type of fuel is the smell it produces, there are plans to remedy this problem. But the fact that this type of fuel is renewable is causing such an excited stir out there. There is a lot of pressure on government and communities to find solutions to a problem that is affecting humans all across the globe.

Many of us are actually becoming more aware of damage to the environment and want to do something to reduce our carbon footprint so this trial in Norfolk is a great way of showing other communities how to do something to help the environment. The amount of damage to the environment from carbon dioxide emissions could be dramatically reduced if this trial proves to be a success. And if the price of this type of fuel were to drop which is expected in the future, then this could mean that more people might be prepared to give it a try. There could be a huge knock on effect from this little trial in Reepham as it could spread worldwide and could be hugely beneficial to our descendants.

Some people spend a lot of money heating their homes in the winter. Electricity and gas prices are very high and show no signs of coming down any time soon. Clever people are switching to heating oil as a fuel though. When they do they always need their tanks filled with Boilerjuice to ensure they never run out.
