Our sessions fall into the following categories, with more detail under our Conference Agenda link: - Power generation - energy for producing electricity, including wind and solar
- Green building - techniques for building green
- Biofuels - all about biomass, ethanol and other resources for producing biofuels
- Energy efficiency - the low-hanging fruit and still the most affordable and accessbile "renewable" energy resource
- Transportation - electric and hybrid vehicles, althernative fuels
- Food security - growing food locally reduces energy use
We're also planning field trips and workshops for walk-throughs of green buildings and demonstrations of energy-saving processes and products.You'll see how to construct a building made of SIPs, watch a steam engine power up, learn how a solar water heater works and more. At ONE 3, you'll learn how farmers can grow crops for food and fuel more sustainably. Find out what which research and development initiatives are most promising. Meet solar and wind installers, home energy auditors, green builders and designers and suppliers of energy-efficient materials and products. Learn what utilities are doing to improve efficiency and capture or reduce carbon. Visit some energy-efficient buildings. All at the 2010 ONE Conference at Plaster Student Union, Missouri State University, Oct. 7-8. |
