BTEC is proud to announce its collaboration with four other organizations in a call for an American Revolution to domestically produce the thermal energy consumed in the six New England states and New York. We propose that 25% of all thermal energy requirements in the Northeast are met with renewable energy resources by the year 2025.
Vision
Key Findings and Conclusions of the Report
If achieved, this vision will:
Supply 19 million green tons of sustainable biomass for thermal energy available annually from forest and farm sources
Achieve 25% of all thermal energy from renewable resources by 2025
Achieve 75% of thermal renewable energy from biomass by 2025
Convert 1.38 million households in the seven states to biomass for thermal needs
Improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gases and build healthier communities
Reduce 1.14 billion gallons of heating oil annually
Reinvest $4.5 billion in resulting economic wealth in the Northeast economy
