St. Paul Campus Bioenergy Inventory
In pursuit of a comprehensive, environmentally friendly, and economical plan for handling organic wastes on St. Paul Campus, this research project will create an inventory of organic waste sources that could be used as feedstock for a digester on St. Paul campus for transforming the wastes into bioenergy and value-added organic products. Also, researchers will conduct an inventory of electrical and thermal energy needs on the St. Paul campus that could use
the bioenergy from a digester, as well as analyze the economics of a bioenergy unit including capital and operating expenses, energy production and savings, value-added organic products, savings from reduced waste hauling charges, and environmental impact for reduced fossil fuel use.
