Low carbon liquid fuels in the USA
In the USA, around seven million households are supplied with heating oil. On both sides of the Atlantic there is therefore a great responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from oil-heated households as a contribution to climate protection. In the USA, these activities are largely driven by the national heating oil organization “National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA)”. In an exclusive interview, NORA President John Huber reveals which priorities are currently being pursued in the USA.

Low carbon fuels Biomass to Liquid
Demonstration plants are already available for Biomass to Liquid process (BtL). BtL are drop in products. This means that they can be easily used in conventional liquid fuel heating systems. The benefit for the consumers is to keep their existing reliable heating system without the need for any major investment or significant changes , while contributing to the energy transition.
