What is MSUs Physical Plant doing about “green” energy?
The MSU Power Plant is working toward a greener way to produce energy and improve emissions. For several months people at the MSU Power Plant have been studying the possibilities of a new biomass fuel facility with a company that has previously built these new facilities, N-Viro. The idea of using a biomass fuel is to use existing technology to sanitize municipal bio solids and various organic waste products and then converting these waste products in reusable products. There are a number of plants in the United States which N-Viro has opened, but not one that does the entire process. N-Viro has been negotiating with Michigan State University to build the first fully functioning biomass fuel plant on Michigan State’s campus adjacent to the current T.B. Simon Power Plant. By placing this facility on Michigan State’s campus it would provide an alternative energy source to work collaboratively with the co-existing coal burning facility. This will in turn create a cleaner, more eco-friendl
