Alternative Energy Tours in Devon

Wood Heat Transformation Trail – 14^th January 2010

 

Are you interested in heating your property in a sustainable way? Do you see an opportunity growing? Then join DARE (Devon Association for Renewable Energy) on its tour of four sites in the Greater Dartmoor area all generating heat from wood, on Thursday 14^th January. See how others have utilised wood fuel through a variety of technologies, scales and situations.

 

This tour will be lead by a DARE technical officer and each delegate will receive an information pack brimming with case studies, factsheets and data. The delegates will be transported by minibus to each site and will be able to ask the site owners questions about their technologies discovering the process from inspiration through to installation.

 

Are you a member of a community group who want to heat a local facility through renewables? Are you a householder who wants to use local fuel to heat their home? Are you a farmer with land which could be developed for woodfuel supply? Or are you a local business who is concerned about fossil fuel supply and security? We welcome all kinds of delegates to see these woodfuel installations in operation; the sites themselves include business, agricultural, domestic and a visitor attraction.

 

The delegate fee is based on a sliding scale dependant upon the type of delegate: community representative (£5 pp), individual (£10pp) & business representative (£20pp). The cost includes transport and lunch.

Please contact DARE by telephone 01837 89200 or email mail@devondare.org  if you are interested in attending. You can also visit our website for more information www.devondare.org

 

This Transformation Trail is the second in a series of tours; there will be a specialist day for each technology including solar thermal, photovoltaics, heatpumps and windpower. This tour is funded by Greater Dartmoor LEAF, incorporating funding from the EU, Defra, SWRDA and LEADER and The Dartmoor Sustainable Development Fund, West Devon Borough Council’s Community Project Grant and Renewable Energy 4 Devon project.
