Which is better for environmental protection comparison between oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers?
There is not much difference between oil-fired boiler and gas-fired boiler in terms of body structure, but the heating surface is adjusted accordingly because of the different calorific value of fuel. So what's the difference between oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers in terms of environmental protection? Here we will take you to compare the environmental protection of oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers.
Comparison of environmental protection between oil-fired boiler and gas-fired boiler
1. Emissions
At present, the national emission standards for oil-fired boilers in key areas are 30 mg/nm for particulate matter, 100 mg/nm for sulfur dioxide, 200 mg/nm for nitrogen oxides, and 1 or less for smoke blackness, while those for gas-fired boilers are 20 mg/nm for particulate matter, 50 mg/nm for sulfur dioxide, 150 mg/nm for nitrogen oxides, and 1 or less for smoke blackness. In addition, more stringent standards are set by local governments. It can be seen that compared with the environmental protection of oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers, gas-fired boilers have cleaner emissions and higher environmental protection standards.
2. Operating cost
The cost of fuel oil is high, which is about 1-2 times that of gas-fired boilers. Moreover, the thermal efficiency of oil-fired boiler is 95%, which is obviously lower than that of gas-fired boiler, and the thermal efficiency of condensing gas-fired boiler has even exceeded 100%.
To sum up, the environmental comparison between oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers is clear at a glance, but on the premise of meeting the environmental impact assessment, gas-fired boilers and oil-fired boilers have their own advantages and disadvantages. When purchasing boiler products, we should choose a boiler product that is more suitable for enterprises.
Since the establishment of ZOZEN Boiler for more than 30 years, it has developed into a modern manufacturing enterprise integrating boiler complete equipment system design, product manufacturing, marketing, installation and debugging, operation service and maintenance and technical transformation. The company's products cover oil-fired and gas-fired boilers, biomass boilers, coal-fired boilers, circulating fluidized bed boilers and heat-conducting oil boilers, etc. The suitable boilers and heating systems can be selected according to the actual working conditions of users, without worrying about the environmental comparison between oil-fired boilers and gas-fired boilers.

IntroductionIn Wuhan, Hubei Province, Hubei Hanjia New Materials Co., Ltd. and Wuhan Yiqingsheng Building Materials Co., Ltd. required thermal energy equipment for autoclave curing and continuous production-line heating, respectively. Based on the production processes, fuel conditions and site requirements of the two companies, ZOZEN Boiler supplied an 8 t/h DZL series biomass steam boiler and a 7.2-million-kcal YWW series biomass thermal oil boiler. The two projects use different heat-transfer ...03 Nov 2026 -
At Guizhou Haocaitou Food Co., Ltd. in Tongren, Guizhou Province, a ZOZEN WNS series gas-fired steam boiler has been operating for five years as part of the company’s steam supply system. The WNS10-1.25-Q boiler, with a rated capacity of 10 t/h, serves as an important heat source for food production. In recent feedback, the customer noted that matching the equipment configuration to production requirements, along with ease of daily operation and maintenance, were key considerations when se...27 Oct 2026 -
From beverage and convenience food production to rice processing, boiler solutions should be selected according to fuel availability, steam demand and site conditions. Steam is commonly used for heating, sterilization and equipment cleaning in food processing. However, different products, production line configurations and fuel conditions create different boiler requirements. In addition to rated steam capacity, food manufacturers need to consider steam pressure, fuel supply, equipment layout a...20 Oct 2026
