The Midwest relies heavily on fossil energy for heating homes and businesses. Heating the Midwest is a network of thermal biomass advocates working to increase awareness and usage of renewable biomass for heat, which has the potential to greatly reduce the region's dependence on propane and fuel oil for thermal energy.Guided by a bold Vision, Heating the Midwest proposes that by 2025, 15% of all thermal energy in the Midwest come from renewable energy sources – 10% from sustainably produced biomass and 5% from solar thermal and geothermal sources. This shift in thermal energy sources has great potential to produce economic, social, and environmental benefits for the Midwest. Heating the Midwest represents more than 200 industry, government, non-profit, university, and tribal organizations committed to increasing awareness, education and outreach for heating with biomass in the Midwest.The intent of this page is to serve as an outreach and education portal on the utilization of biomass for thermal needs, as well as providing HTM with an opportunity to extend its reach in support of growing the biomass industry. Members will have access to HTM and other related events, news publications, organizational updates, biomass thermal-related resources, and opportunities to get involved.
