Erie, PA based biodiesel producer HERO BX today announced a new business enterprise, The HERO BX Branded Bioheat® Program.

The program offers heating oil retailers the opportunity to carry the HERO BX brand and supporting technical and marketing benefits in exchange for Bioheat® supply contracts.

HERO BX manufactures 60 million gallons of biodiesel annually from its plants in Erie, PA and Moundville, AL.

HERO BX signed its first Bioheat® branded dealer this week—Dover, New Hampshire headquartered DF Richard Energy.

In conjunction with the new branded dealer program, HERO BX has leased a 5,000-barrel storage facility in North Hampton, NH that will help jumpstart the program.

HERO BX invested in the infrastructure that allows for biodiesel/heating oil rack blends from B2 through B80, allowing branded retail dealers an automated solution for Bioheat® supply and distribution. The company is seeking similar northeast US terminals that will help support the programs growth.

Since 1932, D. F. Richard saw the need to help the community thrive. For decades, they have been a standard for service, quality, and excellence for the delivery of state of art Heating Oil.

It is their mission to solely focus on exceptional customer service and always thinking far ahead into the future to address any community need.

Today, their outstanding service will further increase their promise of quality and sustainability with the partnership of HERO BX and the introduction of Bioheat®.

Bioheat® is a blend of biodiesel and heating oil, that results in a better fuel for the home and the environment.

D.F. Richard CEO Rick Card stated:

For over 80 years, DF Richard Energy has been introducing new and emerging energy products to our customers.
