New distribution agreement enables NYC building owners to receive deliveries of 100% renewable biofuel that is Local Law 97 compliant
Lifecycle Renewables, the creator of Truburn, a renewable heating oil that reduces greenhouse emissions by over 86 percent, today announced a new distribution partnership with East Coast, a New York City provider of residential and commercial fuel deliveries, HVAC and mechanical services. Through this strategic partnership, Lifecycle expands its reach from New England to Metro New York, one of the most populated regions of the United States.

Truburn is derived from recycled vegetable cooking oil collected from restaurants and converted into heating oil. Compared to traditional heating oil, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 86% and is considered carbon neutral. Some of Boston's most well-known restaurants sell their used cooking oil to Lifecycle Renewables, which is then converted to Truburn to heat commercial buildings and college campuses across the Northeast. Now commercial and residential buildings in NYC can buy Truburn.
“This distribution partnership with East Coast represents a major step forward in our growth story,” said Lifecycle Renewables CEO Rory Gaunt. “East Coast's team is knowledgeable about the many pathways to sustainable heat, the various mechanical requirements, and the regulations that impact building owners. We look forward to working with them and introducing Truburn to the Metro New York market.”
East Coast is the first provider in New York City to introduce commercial and residential building owners to a convenient, carbon-neutral alternative to No. 4 oil, which is banned in city-owned buildings after July 1, 2025, and for all others after July 1, 2027. Truburn also complies with New York City's Local Law 97, a regulation requiring buildings of 25,000 square feet or more to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030.
“We chose Lifecycle Renewables as our biofuel partner because we wanted a clean, compliant source that is turnkey for our customers,” said John Knief, President at East Coast. “We can deliver Truburn the same way we deliver petroleum-based heating oil. Customers can arrange will-call deliveries or set up auto-deliveries. We offer boiler conversion services for No. 4 oil burners, meaning that with just a few modifications, customers' existing infrastructure can quickly and easily accept Truburn. This partnership benefits everyone.”
Lifecycle Renewables and East Coast are exhibiting at the AHR Expo, February 10-12, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, at the Orange County Convention Center. East Coast will showcase an innovative new boiler with the capacity to support electric, biofuel, or natural gas heating infrastructure systems. Visit show booth #9045 for more information.
