Blume Distillation LLC, a leading provider of appropriate-scale
biorefinery alcohol fuel systems, announced today its support for
and participation in the American Renewable Energy Day (AREDAY)
Summit. Blume Distillation CEO David Blume will be featured in a
special armchair discussion with Jim Farrell, Managing Director of
CC3IC where they will detail Blume Distillation’s equipment sale
and the solutions it will provide for its new rural South African,
Numbitrax LLC project. Blume is part of a stellar assemblage of
speakers including former Australian Prime Minister Hon. Kevin
Rudd, UN Vice Chair, Timothy Wirth, Trammel S. Crow, the Crow
Family Foundation, Gen. Wesley Clark, Co-Chair Growth Energy and
many other industry and thought leaders. Blume’s “armchair”
interview will take place Tuesday, August 11 at 1:00pm at the
AREDAY open-to-the-public Summit taking place August 10–14, 2015,
in Snowmass, Colorado.
Promoted by the American Renewable Energy Institute (AREI), and
held in collaboration with the internationally recognized resort of
Snowmass Village near Aspen, Colorado, the 12th Annual Summit
addresses global climate change challenges, ideas and solutions
that will help shape the UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP
21) in Paris this December. “Racing Climate Change is the theme of
this year's AREDAY Summit,” said Chip Commins Chair and CEP of
AREI. “We have assembled thought leaders and change agents from a
myriad of sectors who are all driven by the urgency of creating and
implementing climate change solutions and practices that will
support President Obama’s call to action addressing climate change.
There are a multitude of critical issues driving us toward a
tipping point that clearly require urgent action and increased
momentum. Having very innovative companies with in-place technology
such as Blume Distillation helps us demonstrate that there are
proven solutions that we can implement right now to help bring
carbon neutral balance to our energy needs globally.”
Blume, author of the critically acclaimed book "Alcohol Can Be A Gas!" stated that, “Though Blume
Distillation is a young company, we are making important strides in
helping address life-critical energy matrix transformation issues
globally. At AREDAY we look forward to detailing the benefits and
the positive impacts of our new South African Biorefinery
waste-to-energy project. We are working with Numbitrax, to create
new non-exportable jobs, to repurpose waste stream resources, and
to replace expensive and toxic biomass and fossil fuel use for
indoor cooking and heating, transportation, farm machinery,
irrigation pumps and electricity generation with low-cost, locally
produced alcohol fuel (bioethanol) and high-return coproducts
including highly beneficial organic soil amendments.”
The AREDAY Summit is a unique forum where political, business
and thought leaders come together to focus on climate change and
carbon sequestration issues and solutions. “Blume Distillation
enables the use of localized sources of waste and surplus
carbohydrate-, starch- and sugar-rich resources in the US and
around the world to help meet growing energy demand without any
increased greenhouse gas emissions,” said Jim Farrell, Managing
Director of CC3IC and AREDAY Board member. “They have a very
practical and shovel-ready solution to rising energy demands and
the associated environmental impacts globally. I look forward to
discussing their innovative appropriate-scale bioethanol solution
and its ability to expedite the transformation of liquid fuel
production toward a sustainable future with Mr. Blume in our
armchair conversation at AREDAY.”
