Project Carbon Freedom joins local fuel providers in Massachusetts in urging homeowners to reach out to your state’s elected officials on Beacon Hill to educate them on your concerns regarding the proposed Clean Heat Standard in Massachusetts. This includes:
- Limiting fuel choices for homeowners
- Encouraging widespread electrification over affordable, commercially available renewable fuels
- Excluding Bioheat® fuel as a contributor to clean energy
- A loss of jobs and closing of local family-run businesses
- Massive heating equipment conversion costs

You depend on heating oil provided by a local business. Bioheat® fuel is a renewable, low-carbon fuel.
