Good news for New York City building owners and managers: Lifecycle Renewables’ Truburn has been officially validated by the city as a renewable heating fuel that reduces 74% of Local Law 97-related emissions.
This makes Truburn the most effective commercially available fuel option for buildings looking to meet LL97’s carbon reduction requirements – without the expensive retrofits, new equipment, or system overhauls that typically hold buildings back from meeting compliance.
Truburn vs. Other Fuel Options
With LL97 fines officially in effect, it’s more pressing than ever for building owners and managers to find emissions reduction solutions. Here’s how Truburn stacks up compared to other alternatives (LL97 adjusted figures):
- Truburn: 74% reduction
- Biodiesel: 52% reduction
- Cellulosic diesel: 57% reduction (not commercially available)
- Renewable diesel: 46% reduction
- Natural gas: 28% reduction
- Biogas: 71% reduction (not commercially available)
Truburn leads the pack – outperforming every other commercially available fuel option.
The Drop-In Advantage
One of the biggest challenges with alternative fuels is the infrastructure changes they require. Truburn solves that problem – serving as a drop-in replacement compatible with oil-ready boilers.
- No new equipment or retrofitting
- No building interruptions
- No large capital investments
For properties with existing oil-ready boiler systems, switching to Truburn is one of the simplest and most cost-effective pathways to LL97 compliance.
Why Truburn Matters for NYC
Local Law 97 represents one of the most ambitious climate policies in the US. To comply, buildings must significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions – or face steep fines.
Truburn offers building owners a ready-to-deploy solution: a renewable heating fuel made from recycled cooking oil that delivers the highest emissions reduction available today, without requiring costly infrastructure changes.
Proven Across the Northeast
Truburn isn’t new. It has a proven track record of success. For more than a decade, Truburn’s served multi-building properties and major facilities across the Northeast. That includes:
- College campuses, such as Keene State College
- District energy systems
- The Cities of Philadelphia and Boston
Truburn isn’t just an emerging solution. It’s a trusted, fossil-free heating fuel that organizations have depended on for years.
