Vermont Sustainable Heating Initiative (commonly referred to as VSHI) is a non-profit organization that works to establish sustainability in the Vermont heating sector. The organization advocates biomass fuels (especially wood pellets) over fossil fuels. In order to promote sustainability and reduce the expense of home heating for impoverished Vermonters, VSHI installs pellet stoves in low-income houses at no cost. VSHI also advocates for the sustainable development of local biomass sources for fuel. ==History== In 2007 a group of students from Mount Abraham Union High School prepared a presentation on the subject of grass energy in Vermont.〔http://www.sustainableheatingvt.org/〕 This presentation discussed both the environmental and economic impact that grass-derived biomass fuels would have on the Vermont economy.〔http://docs.google.com/present/view?skipauth=true&browserok=true&id=dd3n93t4_36q3q6k9〕 As of 2008 VSHI morphed from a loose coalition of students and educators to a state-registered nonprofit corporation. In 2009 VSHI prepared a grant proposal in an attempt to obtain $30,000 to fund a feasibility study into solid biomass fuels.〔http://www.town.williston.vt.us/website/images/documents/Selectboard/agenda2010/ag011110/biomass_resolution.pdf〕 The proposal received support from a number of towns〔http://www.town.williston.vt.us/website/images/documents/Selectboard/agenda2010/ag011110/biomass_resolution.pdf〕 and was approved. As of 2010 VSHI has launched the Chittenden County Solid Biofuels Feasibility Study using the grant money in cooperation with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Comm. and The Biomass Energy Research Center.
