C1 grade fuel oil or C1 kerosene is a clean-burning oil with a high smoke point and extremely low sulphur content, making it suitable for horticulture applications to produce carbon dioxide and heat. It can also be used as a home heating oil as it produces no acidic gases on combustion.
The table below provides a detailed overview of the chemical and physical specifications of C1-grade fuel oil.
You can learn more about these standards in our fuel specification guide.
