As part of its educational outreach, BTEC conducts live webinars on key issues in biomass thermal. Many of BTEC's webinars are free due to a grant from the USDA Forest Service's Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC). This institution is an equal opportunity provider. Two webinars were held in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration and the Alliance for Green Heat. Where noted, other webinars are accessible for a small administrative fee.
