ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Wood Energy Leaders Inspire National Leaders

Last week, the ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥-Yukon Wood Energy Conference attracted over 100 participants from Fairbanks, Anchorage, rural ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥, Canada and the Lower 48.

Over 33% of the participants were from rural communities around ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥, and 22% from Canada. The Canadian contingent is learning from ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥â€™s experience, feeling that our knowledge and troubleshooting of biomass system design and operation is 10 years ahead of Canada.

“The role of a keynote address is to inspire, however, I have come away from this conference far more inspired by what ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ is doing,â€
said keynote speaker Adam Sherman of Vermont’s Biomass Energy Resource Center.

The conference included presentations on current ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ and Canadian biomass projects, featuring a show-stopping presentation on the wood harvesting and sales program in Napiamute by Mark Leary.

All presentations will be available on the soon.
