Heating the Midwest is a network of thermal biomass advocates working to increase awareness and usage of renewable biomass for heat, which has the potential to greatly reduce the regions dependence on propane and fuel oil for thermal energy. Location Minneapolis Convention Center Minneapolis, MN United States 44° 58' 39.9108" N, 93° 15' 54.0396" W See map: Google Maps The Midwest relies heavily on fossil energy for heating homes and businesses. Heating the Midwest is a network of thermal biomass advocates working to increase awareness and usage of renewable biomass for heat, which has the potential to greatly reduce the region’s dependence on propane and fuel oil for thermal energy. Guided by a bold Vision, Heating the Midwest proposes that by 2025, 15% of all thermal energy in the Midwest come from renewable energy sources – 10% from sustainably produced biomass and 5% from solar thermal and geothermal sources. This shift in thermal energy sources has great potential to produce economic, social, and environmental benefits for the Midwest. Co-located with the 2015 International Biomass Conference & Expo, being held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Heating the Midwest is a compelling combination of the right topics being discussed at the right place, at the right time. read more
