Biomass Energy Development Discussion

When
01/10/2012
3:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location
Dixon Springs Agricultural Center

The Illinois Biomass Working Group (IBWG) will host two informal biomass energy development discussions at the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center near Simpson, IL. These small gatherings will focus on near-term business opportunities in biomass energy in the southern Illinois region, and steps that can be taken to facilitate that development. The 3:00 PM meeting is especially aimed at Extension, economic development, organization, local government personnel, etc. and the 7:00 PM meeting is especially aimed at farmers and landowners -- but both meetings are open to all interested parties.

The meetings will be led by IBWG members Dr. Ted Funk of the UIUC Center for Advanced BioEnergy Research and Mr. Eric Rund of Green Flame Energy, Pesotum, IL.

This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are requested.

Please contact info@illinoisbiomass.org or leave a message at 309-298-1453, and remember to indicate whether you will attend at 3:00 PM, 7:00 PM, or both.

The meetings will be in the main building at the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center, which is located on IL Rte. 145 25 miles south of Harrisburg, IL; full directions and map are available at:
