The residential heating oil industry is currently working to cut the sulfur content of heating oil and residential fuel oil from 1,500 parts per million to 15 parts per million by 2018. In addition to sulfur reduction, the heating oil industry is also working on new fuel blends called Bioheat which contain between 2 and 20 percent renewable fuel.

What is the quality of petroleum determined by?

I think the answer to the question is the sulphur content. Sulphur combine with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide which is a pollutant. So petroleum with low sulphur content is of a high quality. Sulphur content, and how light the oil is = measured in API. Or what they call GOR (gas/oil ratio), the lighter the oil gets, the less refining it needs, the higher the quality and price.
