MultiVu Video Feed: UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE IS NOW FIRST UNIVERSITY IN
NATION TO POWER ITS CAMPUS WITH LANDFILL GAS

University of New Hampshire's EcoLine(TM), a ground-breaking landfill
gas-to-energy project that uses purified methane gas from a nearby landfill
as the campus's main energy source, is complete. The five million square-foot
campus is now receiving up to 85 percent of its electricity and heat from
purified natural gas, making UNH the first university in the nation to use
landfill gas as its primary fuel source.
EcoLine(TM) is a partnership with Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling
and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) in Rochester, where the naturally
occurring by-product of landfill decomposition is collected via a
state-of-the-art collection system then piped 12.7 miles to the Durham campus.
Total cost of the project, which included construction of the pipeline
and a gas processing plant at TREE, is $49 million. UNH will sell the
renewable energy certificates (RECs) generated by using landfill gas to help
finance the overall cost of the project and to invest in additional energy
efficiency projects on campus. In addition, UNH has purchased a second
generator for its cogeneration plant and will sell power in excess of campus
needs back to the electric grid.
