August 16, 2011 - Washington, D.C. Registration is now open for the webinar, "Public Perceptions of Biomass Thermal Energy: Identifying Sentiment, Overcoming Challenges," on Tuesday, August 30th at 1 PM ET. Participants will hear from three speakers as they share research, findings, and first-hand experience on the public's perception of biomass thermal energy. This is the eighth webinar in a 14-part series hosted by the Biomass Thermal Energy Council (BTEC), and funded in part by the Forest Service's Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC). Although biomass is a renewable resource for baseload heating and combined heat and power (CHP) applications, its utilization, if not properly planned, can create prolonged debates within a community and lead to higher development costs or delays. Project developers, vendors, and fuel producers should recognize and address the public and community's questions over emissions, resource use, and incentives for biomass thermal installations.
Speakers
All registrants will have access to a live recording and copy of the presentation after the webinar. For additional questions on this event, please contact:
