Bioenergy does not often receive the recognition it deserves by keeping forests healthy and generating renewable energy. The Second Annual National Bioenergy Day is an opportunity to showcase bioenergy facilities and the bioenergy supply chain around the United States.
National Bioenergy Day is a nationwide day of advocacy for all kinds of heat and power generated by woody biomass and agricultural waste, from large-scale utilities to home heating stoves. Taking place on Wednesday, October 22, it will be an event uniting all aspects of the bioenergy supply chain, including foresters, landowners, manufacturers, power producers and consumers.
Last year’s National Bioenergy Day yielding 25 events in 14 states. Biomass facilities and universities hosted hundreds of visitors on a day that generated more than 20 print and television news items, in addition to considerable social media buzz.
We want to grow National Bioenergy Day, and therefore BTEC is encouraging all bioenergy facilities owners to hold open houses or other events on Wednesday, October 22, 2014.
