Prema Bio Heating Oil The Zero-Duty Carbon Saving Solution
Prema Bio Heating Oil is the only HMRC-approved liquid biofuel delivering an ultra-low carbon fuel formulated to deliver a roughly 90% reduction in net carbon emissions for industrial and commercial heating operations.
Proud to supply
Unmatched industrial savings. Uncompromised sustainability
Prema Bio Heating Oil (PBHO) is a breakthrough in industrial heating economics. Developed with full HMRC approval, it offers the carbon-saving performance of premium renewable fuels at a substantially lower operational cost.
-
Zero Excise Duty
Prema Bio Heating Oil is a liquid biofuel that does not attract excise duty. This provides a quantifiable reduction in procurement costs when compared to fossil fuels and other renewable options such as HVO.
-
Carbon Reduction
The fuel reduces net greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90% compared to mineral oil. This allows facilities to achieve the environmental impact of premium HVO at a reduced price point.
-
Return on Investment
For high-volume heating operations, the accrued fuel cost savings offset the initial capital expenditure required for heated storage infrastructure.
Facility Suitability
Prema Bio Heating Oil is an industrial-grade fuel with specific storage requirements. Unlike standard drop-in fuels such as Kerosene or HVO, Prema Bio Heating Oil requires heated storage tanks and a heated ring main to the burner to maintain optimal viscosity for combustion.
- Suitable Applications: Large industrial sites equipped with existing heated heavy fuel oil (HFO) infrastructure, or high-volume users planning to install heated storage upgrades to achieve long-term fuel savings.
- Unsuitable Applications: Small commercial sites, unheated outdoor storage facilities, or low-turnover backup systems. For these specific applications, Prema HVO100 is the recommended alternative.
Prema Bio Heating Oil Costs and Procurement Value
Prema Bio Heating Oil provides controllable, predictable costs for commercial operations transitioning to low-carbon fuels.
Fuels that Require No Investment in Infrastructure
Transitioning to Prema Bio Heating Oil allows facilities to retain existing functional equipment, avoiding the capital investment required for complete system overhauls, such as electric or biomass conversions.
- Interchangeability: For sites already utilising heated storage, Prema Bio Heating Oil acts as a direct drop-in replacement for fossil fuels. This includes gas oil, kerosene, 35-second oils, and heavy, processed, or reclaimed fuel oils. Under these conditions, the switch requires zero downtime and zero capital expenditure.
- System Upgrades: If a site does not currently possess heated storage, the required infrastructure can be installed as a one-off cost. Prema Energy’s technical team provides consultation on installation parameters and any minor burner adjustments required to optimise fuel efficiency.

The benefits of Prema 35 Industrial Heating Oil
Quality Control and Manufacturing
Prema 35 is manufactured in ISO 9001 accredited facilities. All batches are sampled and tested at independent laboratories to ensure the fuel meets the specification. This consistent quality allows for accurate forecasting of the fuel volumes required for industrial applications.
System Protection and Component Quality
The use of reclaimed, heavy, or processed fuel oils (HFO, PFO) is a primary cause of downtime in industrial heating systems. Prema 35 Industrial Heating Oil is blended exclusively from refinery components. This prevents damage to fuel pumps, eliminates filter and line blockages, and stops fouling of heat transfer surfaces.
Emissions and Directive Compliance
The fuel has a low sulphur content of less than 0.1% , ensuring compliance with the Medium Combustion Plant Directive. For facilities transitioning from HFO or PFO, Prema 35 acts as a drop-in replacement that resolves high carbon and soot emissions. Our technical team provides consultation on the transition process.
Wholesale Delivery and Account Management
Procuring fuel wholesale directly from Prema Energy controls supply costs. The commercial delivery infrastructure monitors site levels to maintain fuel supply, whilst providing clients with a dedicated account manager and direct access to technical advice.
Low-Temperature Performance
The specification features excellent cold properties, preventing fuel from waxing during winter temperatures. t The fuel does not require heated storage
Commercial Heating Oil FAQs
Prema Bio Heating Oil provides a carbon emissions reduction of more than 90% when compared to traditional mineral heating oils.
Yes. To ensure optimal flow and prevent waxing, Prema Bio Heating Oil requires a heated storage tank and a heated ring main connected directly to the burner.
No. This specific formulation is strictly regulated for use as a heating oil. It is prohibited for use as a road fuel or as a fuel for any motor, engine, or machinery.
The fuel provides highly competitive pricing that is similar to Prema HVO B50, making it a cost-effective solution for facilities that have implemented the required heated storage infrastructure.
