Welcome to PelletsFuel! My name is Ahmad Derar , founder of PelletsFuel.com.
Yes ! That’s Me
Many years ago, I was amazed by the extent of climate change and how the human factor plays an undeniable role in it. It was at that moment that I understood I had to help fight these negative trends. Today, I am a proud author of this blog and an individual dedicated to reducing my own carbon footprint.
In the many years I have spent trying to understand climate change and how we use energy, I couldn’t wrap my head around just how much CO2 we release to keep our homes warm in the winter time. With this in mind, I have started this blog, to spread awareness and help mitigate at least some CO2 emissions, through using responsibly sourced fuels and being kind to the environment we live in.
Education and Experience
In my pursuit of better understanding the issues we deal with, I undertook a BA program in Residential Applications of Renewable Energy, and an MA in Residential Sustainability. I also partook in many conferences and events centered around the issues of renewable energy implementation and climate change mitigation and adaptation measures.
I firmly stand behind the idea that good education starts with good information. So, as a volunteer TED.com translator, I have helped translate over 40 TED talks and spread their ideas dealing with sustainability and the need for immediate action. For now, enjoy my blog, and, who knows, maybe I will see you at the next TEDx conference.
