After a successful inaugural event in 2022, the Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC), in partnership with the Iowa Association for Energy Efficiency (IAEE), will hold the second annual Energy Trends Workshop.
 
With the need for residents and businesses to reduce their use of fossil fuels sooner rather than later, this one-day workshop focuses on current and future energy trends in Iowa. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from and network with energy experts, consultants, industry professionals and government agencies with the goal of elevating the energy conversation in Iowa. Past attendees noted they “...really enjoyed this event…” and “...received a number of calls and emails after the event to connect and share additional information.”
 
The event will open with Keynote Speaker Robert Bryce. Mr. Bryce is the host of the Power Hungry Podcast and has been writing about energy, power, innovation and politics for more than 30 years. The author, journalist, and film producer will present on “Renewable dreams, hydrocarbon realities and the real fuels of the future”. Breakout sessions will occur throughout the day.
