In August 2007, the University of New Hampshire began construction on EcoLine, a 12.7-mile pipeline that will pipe enriched and purified methane gas from Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) facility in Rochester to the UNH campus in Durham. The renewable, carbon-neutral landfill gas will provide up to 85 percent of the power to UNH's Durham campus. �http://www.unh.edu/news/img/pipeline/_PAS4632.jpg
Begun in August 2007, construction is nearly completed on EcoLine, a 12.7-mile pipeline that will pipe enriched and purified methane gas from Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) facility in Rochester to the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham. UNH will be the first university in the nation to draw a majority of its power from a renewable source. �http://www.unh.edu/news/img/pipeline/_PAS4639wb.jpg
EcoLine, a 12.7-mile pipeline that will pipe enriched and purified methane gas from Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) facility in Rochester to the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham, is scheduled for completion in 2008. By the 2008-09 heating season, UNH's co-generation plant will provide up to 85 percent of the campus's energy needs using this renewable, carbon-neutral landfill gas. �http://www.unh.edu/news/img/pipeline/_L071537.jpg
EcoLine runs 12.7 miles, much of it along the Spaulding Turnpike, from Waste Management's Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise (TREE) facility in Rochester to the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham. When completed later in 2008, EcoLine will provide up to 85 percent of the university's energy needs from renewable, carbon-neutral landfill gas.
