The Department of Energy announced a proposal request for an exchange of up to 315,000 barrels of ultra-low sulfur distillate, a refined oil product used for home heating. This move is intended to mitigate supply chain challenges and keep the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve stocked ahead of winter.
