NEFI, the trade association formerly known as New England Fuel Institute, has changed its name to the National Energy & Fuels Institute. The new name will reflect the services and essential products provided in Washington as well as the organization’s mission and the leadership role, the company said via a press release. Sean Cota, President and CEO, NEFI, said,“NEFI has served these mostly small main street family businesses since it was founded in 1942, and that will never change. What has changed is the essential role they play in the clean-energy economy; and their need for a single, unified national voice to promote their interests.”

At a summit organized by NEFI last September in Providence, Rhode Island, more than 300 industry stakeholders from across the Northeast unanimously adopted a resolution to dramatically reduce the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. The ‘Providence Resolution’ promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from heating oil by 2030 and deliver net-zero liquid heating fuel to consumers by 2050. The resolution has been adopted by every state and local heating oil association in the Northeast.
