Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI) is a North American
trade organization that represents manufacturers, retailers and distributors of
wood pellet fuel supplies and
appliances. The PFI was formed in 1985 as the Fiber Fuels Institute.[1]
Headquartered in
Arlington, Virginia, PFI maintains National Residential Pellet Fuel Standards,[2] compiles and publishes data on sales and manufacturing output relating to the U.S. pellet fuel industry,[3] hosts industry conferences,[4] and provides outreach to consumers on the use of pellet fuel as an
alternative energy thermal source.[5]
The PFI joined many organizations such as The Alliance for Green Heat and
Maine Energy Systems in working with Congress to amend the tax code through the Biomass Thermal Utilization Act (BUT Act), making renewable wood heating more affordable.[6]
