For anyone who was not able to go to the Tompkins County Cooperative Extension Annual Meeting on Wednesday, there is another opportunity tonight (Friday).
The session on Wednesday featured a speaker from Denmark talking about their systems for district heating (using diverse energy sources) and CHP (Combined Heat and Power, which recaptures lost heat from electricity generation to heat and cool buildings, saving an enormous amount of energy). The front page Ithaca Journal article yesterday described the talk quite well. Denmark has gone from being a huge net importer of energy to being a net exporter, with significantly reduced carbon emissions. There are opportunities for pursuing such systems in Tompkins County. Tonight's presentation will be on the same subject and presumably more detailed since it's longer: "Energy Independence for Buildings in Tompkins County" 7 to 9 pm, at the Dorothy and Roy Park Center for Sustainable Enterprise, Sgrecci Lecture Hall Room 111. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 12:07 PM To: Sustainable Tompkins County listserv Subject: Re: [SustainableTompkins] [Shaleshock] Dairy Farmers This is right on target and critical for the future. Can anyone fill us in on the Coop Ext talk earlier this week about the district biomass system in Denmark?
