For Immediate Release Feb. 3, 2006 SHELBURNE, VT -- An exciting new technology was tested in a historic old building last Friday. The Grass Energy Collaborative, a new organization committed to developing grass energy as a renewable biofuel, tested grass pellets as fuel with a day-long burn in the furnace of the Farm Barn at Shelburne Farms. The Collaborative, with membership representing universities, researchers, technology pioneers and environmentalists, is investigating pelletized grass as a fuel with benefits for land stewardship, economic development, a healthy environment and energy independence. At a time when energy concerns are a hot topic, even making it to President Bushs State of the Union speech last week, the prospect of an energy source that is affordable, sustainable and secure has captured the imagination of potential users, as well as farmers who see it as a possible new profit center for their farms.

We are dedicated to opening the doors of opportunity - economic, civic, health, and education - and empowering people to improve their lives and communities in the Communications Age.
