Low-sulphur heating oil is a DIN-standardised fuel with consistently reliable quality. The Petronord Group only sells low-sulphur heating oil according to DIN 51603-1 with a sulphur content of max. 0.005% by weight (equivalent to 50 ppm). This product can be used for all conventional heating systems.
The high-quality premium low-sulphur heating oil is a product quality that far exceeds the requirements of the DIN standard.
Advantages of Premium low-sulphur heating oil include:
In addition to the advantages of Premium low-sulphur heating oil, this heating oil also offers a very special "plus": Premium KlimaPlus makes it possible to offset the CO2 emissions of heating oil consumption that cannot be avoided.
Burning heating oil produces carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. The production of this gas during the combustion process cannot be physically avoided, but there is a way to offset its impact on the environment.
For example, the CO2 emitted by a heating system can be saved elsewhere by supporting a climate protection project. These savings are recorded in climate protection certificates. In the case of Heating Oil Premium KlimaPlus, certificates are purchased according to the amount of heating oil consumed and their cancellation is arranged so that they cannot be used again. The revenue from the purchase of the certificates benefits a climate protection project certified according to the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the United Nations and also according to the even stricter voluntary Gold Standard.
