The forum will feature three speakers from the biomass energy industry who are also officers and directors of the Pennsylvania Biomass Energy Association--

PBEA is Pennsylvania’s first industry-driven organization working to advance the use of biomass for clean heat, electric generation, and combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The association is focused on the use of sustainable biomass in the residential, small business, commercial, institutional, agricultural and industrial sectors.
The guest speakers will discuss both traditional and non-traditional sources of biomass energy, showcase a variety of successful biomass projects and discuss the role biomass can play in both regional and statewide economic and energy plans.
The Forum will be held June 18 at 12:00 noon in Room G-50, K. Leroy Irvis Building.
