Pellet supplyThere are currently more than 80 pellet mills in the United States, with more than 15 in the Northeast region alone. These mills produce more than 2 million tons of pellets each year.Our pellet fuel is manufactured from 100% wood sourced from by products and low grade timber resources that otherwise have limited market value. Historically, most pellet feed stock came from manufacturing by-products. In the future, an increasing percentage will be derived from forest thinning through scientific management. USDA Forest Service data [link below] shows that Northeastern forest growth exceeds the harvest at a rate of approximately 2:1. With sustainable forest management, this abundant and underutilized local energy resource can meet the projected demand increases for pellet fuel. Imagine responsible, forest management that perpetually supplies domestic, carbon-neutral heating fuel. The Northeast US offers incredible potential for renewable, sustainable energy. More specific information on pellet fuel and distribution logistics can be found on the Bulk Pellets page under Products. Our commitment to sustainable energyWe want to ensure that the demand for pellets does not undermine the sustainability of these natural resources. It is our responsibility to remain active in and support organizations that benefit sustainable environmental and forestry policy. Pellet standards & conversionsThe pellet fuel industry has developed fuel standards that must be met by all pellet mills. These industry standards assure as much uniformity in the final product as is possible for naturally grown materials that become processed, but not refined, fuel. The pellet fuel industry, through the Pellet Fuel Institute (PFI), has determined that pellet mills have the responsibility to test and certify their product. New England Wood Pellet conducts both in-plant and independent laboratory tests of its product on a regular basis. PFI-graded fuel must meet tests for:
