BELLINGHAM, WA, Feb 22, 2023 – Fastmarkets RISI invited feedback from the industry on the pricing methodology for Woodfiber & Biomass Markets, via an open consultation process between Dec. 16, 2022, and Feb. 13, 2023. This consultation was done as part of our published annual methodology review process. Minimal feedback was received during the consultation period and therefore no changes will be made to the methodologies at this stage.
