Fahimeh Yazdan Panah

I am very pleased to share that Dr. Fahimeh Yazdan Panah has been promoted to Associate Executive Director of the Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC). Since joining WPAC in 2019 as our Director of Research and Technical Development, Fahimeh has been a driving force behind many of our most important initiatives. She has partnered closely with me in shaping and implementing WPAC’s commercial strategy, strengthening our industry’s position both in Canada and internationally. She has led technical and policy discussions with governments, guided industry‑led research in pellet production, safety, emissions, and sustainability, and helped align Canada’s pellet sector with global certification and carbon accounting standards. Fahimeh’s contributions go well beyond WPAC. She serves as a Board Member of the European Pellet Council and Bioenergy Europe, helping shape global policy and certification frameworks.
