Register now and attend, "Large-Scale Biomass Thermal: District Energy and CHP," a free webinar on Wednesday, May 25 at 2PM ET, by the Biomass Thermal Energy Council (BTEC), and hear from three distinguished panelists on their experiences implementing biomass-fueled combined heat and power (CHP) and district energy systems. This is the fifth webinar in a series funded in part by the USDA's Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC).
Event Description
Rising energy costs, environmental concerns, and technological advances have opened the door for biomass to meet large-scale heating and power requirements nationwide. Yet, end users including businesses, municipalities, and industry may have questions on using this renewable resource efficiently and cost effectively. This free webinar will review biomass-fueled CHP and district energy technologies and impart lessons learned from flagship projects. Learn:
- How district energy and CHP systems use biomass as a fuel;
- What government initiatives are supporting these systems;
- How District Energy St. Paul became the face of biomass district energy;
- What can be done to right-size a biomass CHP system for a facility's needs;
- 'Lessons learned' from system installation and operation;
- And engage the speakers in a Question & Answer session. Read more >>

About the GrantThis event is made possible with funding from the USDA Forest Service's Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC). In June 2010, the USDA Forest Service awarded BTEC a grant to advance education and outreach on biomass thermal energy. The grant project will produce an array of educational tools, including fact sheets, web resources, webinars, audio interviews, and a slide presentation for use by all stakeholders. All tools are free and will be publicly accessible on the BTEC website at www.biomassthermal.org/resource.
