The Burlington City Council Transportation, Energy, and Utility Committee (TEUC) is holding a symposium on biomass electricity generation at McNeil Station. A panel of experts will discuss questions prepared by the TEUC and solicited from the public.

The event is being held on Tuesday June 13th 6:30PM - 9:30PM at City Hall , 149 Church Street, in Contois Auditorium and will also be live-streamed by CCTV at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8nRQLA4ntY

Biomass electricity generation at McNeil Station is a topic that has recently received attention by the Vermont Climate Council and one that generated significant public interest. Some have questioned the renewable status of biomass and called for a plan to phase out or close McNeil. Others argue that McNeil is our best option for reducing fossil fuel use and is a sustainable alternative.

One of the TEUCs goals for the symposium is to come away with a common understanding about science and language around this subject so that Burlington can make policy decisions based on this common understanding.

The TEUC is preparing questions for panelists but is also soliciting questions from the public. Please use the form below to submit a question for consideration: https://forms.gle/JRuQshE5jXU1i8B58
