USDA program aids three Maine wood pellet cos.
Three Maine wood pellet companies are among 125 biofuel producers nationwide receiving payments under a U.S. Department of Agriculture program designed to support the production and expansion of advanced biofuels from a wide variety of sources, including waste products.
The funding is being provided through USDA's Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels. Under this program, payments are made to eligible producers based on the amount of biofuels a recipient produces from renewable biomass, other than corn kernel starch.
In Maine, Geneva Wood Fuels LLC of Strong will receive $2,236; Maine Woods Pellets Co. LLC of Athens will receive $6,277; and Northeast Pellets LLC of Ashland will receive $624 for wood pellet production under the USDA's advanced biofuel producers program.
