Burner can run on heating oil or biofuel containing up to 100% renewable energy. Power adjustable from 16 to 40 kW.
Biofioul F30 is a new kind of energy. It is a biofuel composed of 70% domestic heating oil to which is added 30% renewable energy, in the form of rapeseed methyl ester (RME). As a renewable energy source, RME enables very significant reductions in CO2 emissions, below the 300 g/kWh threshold that will be the maximum authorized from July 1, 2022 (see box "New regulatory framework for CO2 emissions").
Rapeseed was chosen to create a heating bioliquid because of its many advantages as a plant and its ester derivative as a biofuel. Rapeseed is a melliferous plant, responsible for 40% of the honey produced in France*, and available in sufficient quantities without competing with human food. As a biofuel, RME offers :
- Under-utilized production capacity;
- Good cold resistance;
- Greenhouse gas reduction potential of 50-70% compared with domestic heating oil.

Oil is easy to store and available everywhere. Moreover, it is a very powerful fuel (10 kWh per liter)
Oil has greatly changed in order to reduce its environmental impact. The oil condensing boiler technology allows to reduce energy consumption significantly (Up to 30% compared to a traditional boiler). Its level of sulphur has been divided by 6 in the last 40 years.
Oil boilers may be twinned with renewable fuels such as biomass or solar powered system.
