First FSC certified biomass pellet plant in U.S. |
|
The Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood program has certified the first
biomass pellet mill in the United States to Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC) standards, a significant step in the FSC's entry into renewable
energy sources. Curran Renewable Energy, LLC, based in Massena, New
York, is the first FSC Chain-of-Custody certified producer and
distributor of wood pellets for national and international markets.
Curran's FSC/Rainforest Alliance Certified wood pellets use wood fiber
from FSC-certified forests in northern New York State. The wood is
harvested by Seaway Timber Harvesting Inc., a family-owned business
based in the northern Adirondack region of New York, run by Patrick,
Timothy and Lee Curran. Seaway Timber Harvesting Inc. has been in the
forestry business for 19 years.
