October Meeting
Join us October 3rd to here about Renewable Energy Opportunities at NC Poultry and Swine Farms from a Duke Study by 3 Graduate Students.
Three Duke Masters of Engineering Students did a summer internship evaluating renewable energy opportunities to augment propane and electricity usage in NC Poultry & Swine Agriculture facilities.
The project goal was to develop a list of the best Agricultural facility renewable energy opportunities. Essentially take a hard look at how propane and electricity is used, understand that and then model potential renewable energy solutions to address these energy needs and understand the farmers incentive opportunities to make the system more affordable. This internship was done with RuralEnergyPartners.com. Rural Energy Partners is a subsidiary of FarmAfield, a Nebraska based Agricultural startup.
