Home » Heating Oil |
History
The history of oil is a long one, involving many important discoveries and much technological innovation. It was evolved from 3000 BC to 17th century. As heating oil is derived from crude oil, its price shows a high correlation with crude oil prices.
Characteristics
Residential heating oil, also known as number 2 fuel oil, is a close relative of kerosene and jet fuel, as it is also a middle distillate. The heating oil stock that is refined has a higher propensity to have much lower sulfur content from one tank to the next
Uses
Heating oil and Diesel are classified as distillate fuel oils and rank second behind gasoline as the most-consumed liquid fuels. While, diesel powers heavy construction equipment, trucks, buses, tractors, trains and automobiles, heating oil (often referred to as No. 2 fuel oil in US) is used in the central heating of homes and small buildings.
Influencing Factors
The price of heating oil is influenced by many factors - Seasonal demand (prices rise as more consumers use oil to heat their homes in cold winter months),
- Modifications in the cost of crude oil, competition among local heating oil dealers, and regional operating costs.
- Wood furnaces, corn pellets and biodiesel from vegetable oil are all being sought after as alternative fuel sources.
