5th Annual Renewable Energy Fair

You're invited to the 5th Annual Renewable Energy Fair hosted by Chena Hot Springs Resort on August 15th from 10:00am to 6:00pm!

The Renewable Energy Fair will provide free workshops, seminars hosted by speakers on various topics, and science experiments for children of all ages. There will be a variety of renewable energy vendor booths and once again there will also be free food offered to all attendees.

This year we are pleased to announce that Google VP Charles Baron will be in attendance as a keynote speaker as well as the Director of the Advanced Resource Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), the distinguished Dr. Arun Majumdar. In addition to these we will also be hosting Alaskan legislators Lisa Murkowski, Ted Stevens, Don Young, and Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson.

Every year we try to showcase innovative forms of renewable energy technology. Last year the major project we were showcasing was our own Mobile ORC Power Plant. As it is currently deployed in Utah, this year we will be showcasing two new special pieces of technology, one of which is a Fodder Unit. The Fodder Unit is a hydroponic growing room that has been specifically developed to grow sprout grain and legging seeds for highly nutritious but cost effective livestock feed. Amazingly, this unit can produce its yield with only six days in between seeding and feeding out. The other new piece of technology we are excited to share with the public is a gasifier.

In addition to these two innovative pieces of technology we will also be featuring electric vehicles, our water ram, our three pressure absorption chiller, our hydroponics greenhouse, our geothermal ORC power plant, an update on our biomass projects, as well as speakers from various fields relating to sustainability.

This is a free admittance, nonprofit event open to the public. Feel free to bring your whole family and all your friends.
