BTEC Announces Dec. 14 Webinar: the Future of Biomass Thermal Energy - Advanced Technologies
Free educational webinar will focus on cutting-edge technology and market opportunity.
- (1888PressRelease) December 08, 2011 - Washington, DC - Today, the Biomass Thermal Energy Council (BTEC) announced its newest webinar, "The Future of Biomass Thermal Energy - Advanced Technologies," scheduled for December 14th at 1 PM ET. The webinar will discuss the most cutting edge technologies for both fuel production and boiler manufacturing as well as what the future may hold for the biomass industry.
Although biomass heating systems are amongst the oldest form of energy systems, manufacturers continue to advance the technology for increased convenience and safety. From fully automated boiler systems to cutting edge fuel processing, leaders in the industry work unceasingly to improve their products. This webinar will provide an overview of system improvements designed to meet evolving customer's needs and local standards. Additionally, it will provide an opportunity to hear state and federal policy options and other avenues to expand the biomass industry.
The webinar's panelists include Tom Miles of the T.R. Miles Consultants, Inc. and who will discuss advanced commercial application with agricultural feedstocks, as well as David Frank of Sunwood Energy, who will present about the most intuitive commercial and residential technologies.
Registration for this event is free and required and available at www.biomassthermal.org/resource/webinars.asp#advtech
"This webinar will show participants what technology is available now and where we expect advanced biomass technology to go in the future," said Joseph Seymour, BTEC Executive Director.
This is the thirteenth webinar in a 14-part series, made possible with funding from the U.S. 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 has produced 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 are publicly accessible on the BTEC website at www.biomassthermal.org/resource.
