MASSENA -- Curran Renewable Energy is the second wood fuel pellet mill in the Unites States that is certified under the Pellet Fuels Institute for premium grade wood pellets.

Curran is “very proud of this distinction,” a news release said.

A stamp from the Pellet Fuels Institute will be seen on their wood pellet bags very soon. The PFI sets a quality standard for fuel wood pellets in the United States, certifying that the pellets meet the grade requirements for premium wood pellets.

The PFI performs rigorous testing to assure all pellets are in compliance.

To clarify the pellet quality standards in the United States, here is a link to the PFI's Fuel Table:
