Power Flame Receives UL Certification Listing for Biofuels
Power Flame Inc., a leading manufacturer of industrial and commercial burners, has achieved a major new certification milestone by receiving the UL Certification Listing for biofuels including blends from B20 through B100 in its advanced combustion systems, after completing all required testing for hydrogen and biogas fuels. This exciting development reinforces the company’s commitment to advancing cleaner, more flexible combustion solutions for industrial and commercial applications. With sustainability goals and regulatory pressures mounting across industries, this certification highlights Power Flame’s readiness to support customers as they transition toward renewable and low-carbon fuels.
The Growing Role of Biofuels in Heating and Process Applications
Biofuels, such as biodiesel, renewable diesel, and biogas are becoming increasingly important in process heating, steam generation, and building heat. Facilities across industrial and commercial sectors are seeking practical ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining performance and reliability. Unlike conventional petroleum fuels, many renewable fuels reuse carbon already in the natural cycle and can be implemented with existing burner systems or minor modifications. This allows organizations to implement decarbonization strategies without full equipment replacement.
U.S. production of biodiesel now totals billions of gallons annually, with strong growth projections for the coming decade. This expansion reflects increasing demand for lower carbon fuels that can be integrated into existing heating infrastructure while supporting long-term environmental goals.
Power Flame Positioned for the Energy Transition
With its UL Certification Listing for B20 through B100 and completed testing for hydrogen and biogas, Power Flame is positioned at the forefront of burner manufacturers prepared for the energy transition. This achievement strengthens Power Flame’s role in low carbon industrial and commercial heating applications.
Many biofuels can be fired in compatible burners with targeted upgrades to fuel delivery systems, atomization components, and combustion controls. These upgrades allow customers to leverage existing infrastructure while meeting increasingly stringent emissions requirements. Power Flame’s portfolio of industrial and commercial burners is designed to accommodate the combustion characteristics of advanced biofuels while maintaining high efficiency, safe operation, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Supporting Multi-Fuel and Future Fuel Strategies
These developments also support owners and operators planning multi-fuel strategies. Hydrogen and biogas, in particular, offer additional opportunities for facilities that generate fuel from waste streams or participate in emerging low carbon gas supply networks. Having burners tested and validated for these fuels provides confidence that future conversions can be executed within recognized safety and performance standards.
