About Us
The 2012 conference and expo, formerly titled Heating the Northeast with Renewable Biomass, will bring together leaders of the renewable thermal energy industry to explore the potential for real expansion of local, renewable biomass energy in the Northeast.
Exciting new program content and targeted attendee outreach will expand the conference’s engagement of residential and commercial biomass customers, as well as the broader HVAC industry.
Two years ago, a task force of industry experts presented A Bold Vision for 2025, a call to revolutionize thermal energy consumption in the six New England states and New York so that, by the year 2025, 25% of all thermal energy requirements in the Northeast are met with renewable, domestically produced resources. This year’s conference will invite members of the industry to report on the progress of this Vision, including public policy efforts, fuel and technology advancements, and market updates.
