On-Farm Energy Generation 2011
Securing revenue streams from land based energy
Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd June 2011
Why you should attend
Interest in farm based renewable energy has surged in the past year, and 2011 is set to see many more exciting developments, as the agricultural sector is increasingly
looking towards alternative resources to maximise the return from their land. It is becoming more and more attractive as more incentives become available, and the ever topical issue of carbon reduction is further putting the spotlight on sustainability.
The rural population is well place to capitalise on ‘free’ energy sources providing the opportunity to diversify to new income streams and a real chance to demonstrate a
positive message that the rural community can produce energy for the country through environmentaly low impact renewable energy solutions.
Farm land and buildings are ideal locations for generating energy from a wide range of sources but while landowners can reap the financial rewards that renewable energy brings it is equally important that people get the right advice to protect their assests.
On-Farm Energy Generation provides a detailed analysis of government policy, incentives, planning, technological advancements and financing. The event will enable farmers to gain valuable information on the range of technologies available for on-farm energy generation, as well as other issues that will influence investment decisions.
What you will get from this conference
• Analysis of goverment policy and what this means for the developing renewable energy industry within agriculture.
