New York City is on the front lines of the climate fight – enforcing ambitious building emissions limits. Between Local Law 97 fines coming into effect, and an upcoming No. 4 Oil Ban, the pressure is on for owners and operators to dramatically cut carbon.
The challenge? Most clean alternatives can be expensive to implement, requiring costly infrastructure changes. That’s where Truburn comes in. Truburn removes all the typical barriers that come with going fossil-free.
93% Carbon Reduction in NYC Buildings
Lifecycle Renewables’ heating fuel, Truburn, has been validated by New York City to reduce 93% of carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. Of that, 74% directly counts toward Local Law 97 compliance – outperforming every other commercially available fuel option.

Built for the Realities of NYC
Many solutions on the market sound good on paper but fall apart when it comes to implementation. Truburn, on the other hand, is a practical way for NYC property owners to achieve rapid emissions reductions – without waiting on costly, long-term infrastructure overhauls.
It’s designed to work as a drop-in replacement fuel for existing oil-ready heating systems. That means:
- No new equipment or retrofitting
- No building interruptions
- No major capital investment
Proven Track Record
Truburn might be new to NYC, but it has a proven track record of success. For more than a decade, Truburn has reliably powered 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 is not just an emerging solution. It’s a trusted, fossil-free heating fuel that organizations have depended on for years.
Closing the Loop: Fuel from Waste
Reducing emissions is only part of the story. Every gallon of Truburn starts with something most people throw away: used cooking oil.
Rather than letting that oil become waste that sits in landfills or pollutes waterways, Lifecycle Renewables collects it from local restaurants – and transforms it into a clean, renewable heating fuel.
It’s a circular solution that delivers twice the impact: reducing emissions while diverting waste from landfills and waterways.
The Bottom Line for NYC
Truburn offers a proven, immediate, and scalable way to drive down carbon emissions – up to 93% lower than fossil fuels.
