Energy Recycling

The potential of energy recycling is to dramatically increase the amount of energy service we can realize from a barrel of oil equivalent. For an excellent introduction to energy recycling, go to BridgeToEnergyFuture.

Guide to Selecting an Installer

Elsewhere on this site we provide listings of energy system installers. Please be aware that Guilford Energy Resources does not endorse any of the people and/or organizations included in our listings. It is up to the consumer to critically examine the available choices. For a convenient way to get started down the path of installer evaluation, we offer a Guide to Selecting a Solar Installer.

FLS Materials

On March 13, Phil Strouth, from FLS Energy, gave a presentation on photovoltaics and solar domestic hot water.  He also provided the audience with a solar factsheet.  Here are the presentation and factsheet:

Biofuels Program Materials

On May 4, Guilford Energy Resources finally presented its "local energy" program on biofuels.  Slide shows associated with the program can be found here.  First is Dr. Ghasem Shahbazi's opening presentation, next is Derek Blackburn's overview of existing NC biorefineries, and finally we have Gary Sink's presentation on Red Birch Energy. (Note:  Because of formatting incompatibilities, a few slides in the Red Birch presentation are distorted or otherwise visually flawed.  However, all displayed information is correct, and the value of the presentation far outweighs the defects in our edition of it.)
