1 New Fuels for Oilheat Toward a Sustainable Energy Future Raymond J. Albrecht, P.E. New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Albany, New York

2 Why New Fuels? Energy Independence

3 Why New Fuels? Smog

4 Why New Fuels? Particulate Emissions (PM 2.5)

5 Why New Fuels? Global Warming

6 Low Sulfur Heating Oil Research Fuel Quality - An Industry Perspective Robert Greenes - Petroconsults Fuel Sulfur and Boiler Fouling Brookhaven National Laboratory Fouling of Heat-Transfer Surfaces In Oil Fired Boilers for Domestic Heating Brookhaven National Laboratory CANMET Energy Technology Centre Fouling of Heat Exchanger Surfaces Brookhaven National Laboratory Fouling of Oil-fired Boilers and Furnaces Fuel Quality Effects on Home Heating Systems Brookhaven National Laboratory The Performance of Oil-Fired Boilers: The Influence of Fuel Sulfur On Emissions and Appliance Integrity - S. Win Lee CANMET Combating Fuel related Problems Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternative Fuel Oils and the Effect of Selected Properties on Combustion Victor Turk, R.W. Beckett Corporation Advantages of Low Sulfur Home Heating Oil NORA / ERC DOE/ BNL NYS Low Sulfur Market Demonstration NYSERDA/BNL/ERC

7 Sulfur and Nitrogen Content in Fuels S N No. 2 Heating Oil 2000 ppm <900 ppm Low Sulfur Diesel 350 ppm 150 ppm ULS Diesel <15 ppm <100 ppm

16 Low Sulfur Heating Oil Maintenance Cost Saving Estimates COST SAVINGS - $ MM PER YEAR REDUCED VACUUM CLEANINGS Ref: BNL and CETC Fouling tests 400 COST SAVINGS $ MILLION PER YEAR INITIAL FUEL OIL SULFUR CONTENT %

17 Low Sulfur Benefits and Advantages Summary Service and cleaning cost savings for fuel oil dealer Energy Savings for Customer 1 to 2 percent or more annual savings Opportunity for condensing heating systems Improved market image and more effective competition with natural gas

18 Leading Oilheat Dealers in the United States Starting to Use Low Sulfur Fuel Oil Don Allen E.T. Lawson, Inc. Virginia Chairman of NORA Why not low sulfur heating oil in New York State? The sales tax problem!

20 Fine Particulate Emissions (PM 2.5) Testing Dilution Sampler for Fine Particulates EPA Conditional Test Method (CTM-39) - fuel sulfur levels from 15 to 2000 ppm - alternative fuels (biodiesel) - advanced burners (blue flame) - condensing boilers

21 Stack Heated Box Mixing Cone 142-mm Filter R.H. Sensor Nozzle Probe Sample Venturi Residence Chamber Exhaust Blower HEPA Filter Dilution Venturi R.H. Sensor Dilution Blower Dehumidifier/ Cooling Unit

22 Effect of Fuel Sulfur on PM 2.5 and PM 10 Emissions PM loading (mg/m3) PM 2.5 PM percent of PM 2.5 emissions are sulfate-based

23 Ultra-low Sulfur Fuel Oil SULFUR OXIDE EMISSIONS Further improvement in market image for oilheat Makes oilheat the winner over natural gas in sulfur oxide emissions POUNDS PER MILLION BTU Phased introduction can reduce refinery capacity problems UtlraLowS Nat Gas Biod/LowS #2 Oil 0.05% #2 Oil 0.26% Ref: USEPA Publication AP-42

24 What is biodiesel? Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, derived from natural oils, such as soybean oil, which meets the specifications of ASTM D Biodiesel is not raw vegetable oil. Biodiesel contains about % oxygen in chemical structure. Biodiesel has ultra-low sulfur and nitrogen contents. Biodiesel can be blended with petroleum-based heating oil and used with little or no equipment modification.

25 Biodiesel Lab Testing - NOx Residential Boilers NOx from biofuels compared NOx, ppm Biodiesel 100% SME 100% B 20 SME 20 ASTM # Oxygen, %

26 Biodiesel Lab Testing - Conclusions - Biodiesel blends of up to B20 can be used without equipment changes - Lower NOx emissions were measured

27 Biodiesel Field Testing - Abbott and Mills, Inc. in Newburgh, NY - Funded by NYSERDA/NORA/USDOE-NRBP - Four seasons of supplying B20 to about 100 homes - About 300,000 gallons B20 delivered - No fuel related problems in storage, blending, delivery and use
