Case Studies
Through a landmark partnership, Waste Management will supply the University of New Hampshire with enough landfill gas to enable UNH to receive 80% to 85% of their energy from this renewable source.
Called 'EcoLine,' this landfill gas project will send renewable, carbon-neutral landfill gas from Waste Management's landfill in Rochester directly to the Durham, NH, campus.
''By reducing the university's dependence on fossil fuels and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, EcoLine is an environmentally and fiscally responsible initiative,'' said UNH President Mark Huddleston. ''UNH is proud to lead the nation and our peer institutions in this landmark step toward sustainability.''
In addition, the landfill gas will stabilize the university's fluctuating energy costs, which have doubled in the last five years and grown at an annual rate of 18.9%.
This program will also have a major impact on UNH's carbon dioxide emissions, reducing the university's greenhouse gas emissions an estimated 67% below 2005 levels and 57% below 1990 levels.
