Export and Domestic Bulk Fuel Committee

The PFI Export and Domestic Bulk Fuel Committee exists to:

• Facilitate the development of a North American bulk fuels market for Commercial/Industrial, Institutional, and Central Heating applications by providing information and technical support.
• Provide a forum to develop industry consensus on issues related to the development of bulk pelletized fuel markets with the participation of other interests in the industry.
• Facilitate the development of lower grade feedstocks for use as Commercial/Industrial, Institutional, and Central Heating fuels.

Are you considering bulk pellet fuel for your residential, commercial or industrial-sized central heating application?

The PFI Export and Domestic Bulk Fuel Committee is here to help. Whether you are looking for case studies or examples in your area, local, state, or federal incentives, or assistance in securing equipment and fuel, we can help.

Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) and Wood Pellets

Wood pellets are a great option for heating poultry houses and other confined animal feeding operations. Not only do wood pellets offer significant savings over propane and other heating fuels, but they also produce a drier heat, resulting in lower ammonia levels, and healthier animals.

You can access the following studies for more information about wood pellets and CAFO:
