Biodiesel is a renewable and clean burning fuel source that is made from used (recycled) vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease. It is said to produce less pollution and greenhouse gas than standard petroleum diesel formulations and has many other benefits for consumers.

Renewable energy: Unlike petroleum products that have the potential to vanish in the coming years, biodiesel is a renewable energy source and can be locally produced on-demand.

No engine modification required: One of the best things about biodiesel is that it can be used in an existing diesel engine with little to no modification required. Because of this, it can replace other fossil fuels used in standard diesel formulations. It also improves the lubrication in the engine and thus can increase the life of the vehicle.

Less greenhouse gases : When fossil fuels are burned, gases like carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. Over time this raises the atmospheric temperature which has been connected with global warming.

Go local: One quarter of all the fossil fuel used in the United States are purchased from foreign suppliers. By contrast, biodiesel is manufactured with local products, thereby eliminating our reliance on foreign oil.

Less pollution: Standard crude oil must be refined before it can be used in diesel engines. This process releases many harmful toxins in the air causing greenhouse gases. Because biodiesels use vegetable and animal oils, the refining process releases less toxic chemicals into the environment.

Eco-friendly: Biofuels release less carbon into the atmosphere, so they are better for the environment.

At T.H. Malloy & Sons , we are proud to offer our customers biodiesel as a fuel alternative. Our fuel is manufactured by Newport Biodiesel, using recycled cooking oil from restaurants right here in Rhode Island. This eliminates a waste stream, therefore the product is used cradle to grave.

In addition to being eco-friendly, our biodiesel is approved by the US Department of Transportation and is ASTM certified. It can be used in homes, buses, pick-up trucks, heavy equipment and marine vehicles as well as any other equipment with a standard diesel engine.

Our story began in 1935 with Tom and Mae Malloy in the villages of Ashton and Berkeley, delivering home heating fuel to their neighbors and friends in Cumberland, Rhode Island. Tom continued his father’s dream for over fifty years. Our story continues with Tom’s children, Tom, Jim and Brett Malloy with the belief in the same values and work ethic that T.H. Malloy was founded.

T.H. Malloy and Sons, Inc. has grown to a company that still specializes in home heating delivery and service throughout all of Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Propane and motor fuels make us more diverse in the heating industry and heating and cooling installations enable us to be known as a full-service heating company.  

Tom Malloy lives with his two children in Cumberland, Rhode Island. Carrying on his father’s quiet strength and integrity as President of T.H. Malloy & Sons, Tom believes in the value of this family-owned and operated company.

May of this past year, T.H. Malloy lost a great man, Thomas J. Malloy. The Malloy family appreciates all the support over these past few months. T.H. Malloy will continue in his memory.
