“Biofuels & Other Alternatives for Home Heating
Saturday, August 30, 2008, 2pm
Flamig Farm, 7 Shingle Mill Road, West Simsbury
The steeply rising cost of heating fuels has made more urgent the search for alternative fuels. Alternatives to the conventional petroleum-based fuels have been known for some time, and need to be used more widely. Biofuels, including Biodiesel, are an important class of alternative fuels.
The session will include talks by four speakers who have been using biofuels for heating their homes, a demonstration of a Biodiesel Processor (which converts vegetable Oil to Biodiesel) and some of the equipment.
The talks and demonstrations will be followed by an open discussion. Those attending are invited to bring in their questions and ideas, and information about other systems they know of.
