10th Annual Harvesting Clean Energy Conference-Register Now

A nationally acclaimed summit bringing together rural landowners, farmers, ranchers, and rural utilities, tribes, economic development agencies, lending institutions, renewable energy developers and consultants, food processors, research institutions, and federal, state and local governments. Harvesting Clean Energy is a project of Climate Solutions and is an important part of our work promoting clean energy by building partnerships and bridging divides.

 
The Jan 4 earlybird deadline for registration is coming up quickly. The conference kicks-off with a keynote address from U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington State and a no-host Super Bowl party later that day.

Join the discussion about:

How rural communities can prosper in the new energy economy; What are the best opportunities in wind power, solar technologies, geothermal, small hydro, biomass or biofuels, and upgrading to energy efficient equipment; and What financing, technical expertise, and partners are available to help.
Our speakers include:

• U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington State: Senator Cantwell chairs the Energy Subcommittee of the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee and is a leading voice for making America more energy independent.
• David Kolsrud, CEO of DAK Renewable Energy:  David is a lifelong farmer and, for the past 13 years, renewable energy entrepreneur in which time he’s helped develop and fund over $1 billion worth of farmer-owned wind power and biofuel projects.
• Richard Wynne, Director of Geopolitical & Policy Analysis, Boeing Commercial Airplanes: Richard will speak on Boeing's pursuit of sustainable biofuels and outline the potential agricultural role in developing renewable energy sources for aviation.
