Georgia Biomass qualifies for Pellet Fuels Institute Standards Program
In Washington, Georgia Biomass has joined the Pellet Fuels Institute Standards Program, a third-party accreditation program providing specifications for residential and commercial-grade pellet fuel, now representing fourteen pellet manufacturing companies, among them 23 facilities.
With the addition of Georgia Biomass, the PFI Standards Program now represents a combined 1.5 million tons of annual fuel production – nearly half the total U.S. production of pellet fuels for domestic use. Members include New England Wood Pellet, Curran Renewable Energy, American Wood Fibers, Lignetics Inc., Marth Peshtigo Pellet Co., Forest Energy Corp., Indeck Ladysmith, Energex, Spearfish Pellet Co., Michigan Wood Fuels LLC, Trae Fuels Ltd., Somerset Pellet Fuel and NWP Jasper.
“We welcome Georgia Biomass into the PFI Standards Program,” said Stephen Faehner, Chairman of the PFI Board of Directors. “The program continues to grow, with an increasingly larger share of the market earning the right to place the PFI Quality Mark on their product bags. Many retailers look for the Quality Mark when making decisions on which pellet fuel brands to purchase. We look forward to many more PFI Standards Program members.”
Jim Roecker, CEO of Georgia Biomass, said: “This latest quality achievement is an example of the continuous progress we are making toward becoming the industry leader in safely and reliably producing and supplying wood pellets of high quality for the residential markets in both the US and Europe. I am proud of and grateful for the exemplary effort put forth by the Georgia Biomass team, in partnership with our service providers, to achieve this significant quality certification which will enable Georgia Biomass to continue to grow and diversify our business.”
