New York to require biodiesel blending with heating oil in 2022 – Reuters

Dec 23 (Reuters) - New York will become the largest state to enact a biodiesel blending requirement for heating oil, according to legislation passed in the state on Wednesday night.

Petroleum-based heating oil sold in the state beginning in July 2022 will need to be mixed with increasing amounts of biodiesel in order to help achieve New York's goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

Biodiesel is a fuel derived from vegetable oils, yellow grease, used cooking oils, or animal fats. Biomass-based diesel fuels are generally used as additives to petroleum diesel.
