energy solutions. During the next few years, the NIVE actor-
network became involved with a series of projects to develop
and provide information on design for small-scale distributed
energy technology including biogas, solar thermal and very soon
after, wind turbines.
As part of the biogas development program, Preben Maegaard
had gone to the libraries in Copenhagen to search for any useful
information on biogas technology as well as to develop a contact
list of experts to invite to meetings at the Ecumenical College. In
that process, he came across the proceedings from the UN 1961
conference on new energy sources.

There were several volumes in the set, including one on biogas
but also one on a workshop dedicated to wind energy which
featured articles and presentations both by Johannes Juul and
Ulrich Hütter.
Maegaard bought the whole set at the local bookstore. The
workshop proceedings on wind energy would eventually become
