William Perritt, executive editor of the Wood Biomass Market Report, commented, "The past year has been quite exciting as RISI has risen to become the leading information provider in the wood biomass realm." He continued, "A few years ago, we started noticing the emergence of the wood biomass industry through our efforts publishing the International Woodfiber Report. A few projects sprung up, a number of energy plants came back online, and 'hog fuel' became a hot item. We realized that there was a growing market for wood biomass market information, and that quite simply, RISI was best positioned to meet that market's needs. We are very excited about the future of this industry and our ability to provide compelling and actionable information and advice to those working in it."
