Renewable Fuel, Made on Cape Cod

We turn used cooking oil from local restaurants into clean renewable fuel that heats homes, powers fleets, and fuels boats across the Cape. Locally made, ASTM-certified, and better for the place we all share.

What renewable fuel means at Cape Cod Biofuels

Renewable fuel is energy made from resources that can be replenished, rather than crude oil pumped from the ground. Our renewable fuel is biodiesel, made from used cooking oil we collect from more than 1,000 Cape Cod restaurants and refine into clean fuel at our Sandwich plant.

It is a true closed loop. The same oil that fries your fisherman's platter can heat your neighbor's home and power the boat that brings in the next catch. Because we are the only ASTM-certified biodiesel producer in Massachusetts, every gallon meets strict quality standards and drops right into your existing equipment.

This biofuel saves me money too. The burner does not need as much servicing, and I can be sure it will work because the biofuel is so clean burning. Great, responsive company.

Renewable fuel questions, answered

What is renewable fuel?

Renewable fuel is made from resources that can be replenished rather than crude oil. Our renewable fuel is biodiesel, produced from used cooking oil we collect locally and refine into clean fuel for heating and transportation.

What is biodiesel, and how is it different from regular diesel?

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from recycled oils rather than crude oil. It burns cleaner, is non-toxic and biodegradable, and adds lubrication that can help protect your engine. It runs in standard diesel engines with little to no changes, which conventional diesel does not offer.

Is renewable fuel as good as conventional fuel?

Yes. Our biodiesel is a drop-in fuel that performs like conventional fuel with no equipment changes, and as the only ASTM-certified producer in Massachusetts, we guarantee it meets strict quality standards.

Is Bioheat compatible with my furnace?

Yes. Bioheat is a blend of renewable biodiesel and heating oil that works in your existing oil heating system with no modifications. You can learn more on our home heating oil page.

Is renewable fuel really made from used cooking oil?

Yes. We collect used cooking oil from more than 1,000 Cape Cod restaurants and refine it into clean biodiesel at our Sandwich plant. It is a true closed loop that keeps waste out of the landfill and dollars in the community.

Is renewable fuel more expensive?

No. Because our fuel is blended locally from recycled oil, our pricing is competitive and not tied to global oil swings. Many customers find it costs the same or less than conventional fuel.

From your home to your fleet to your kitchen, we make it easy to switch to clean, local fuel.
