UNH Report

What began as a dream is now a reality.
In cooperation with Waste Management of New Hampshire, Inc., enriched and purified gas from the Turnkey Recycling and Environmental Enterprise facility in Rochester, N.H., is now being piped directly to the Durham campus.

The result? Up to 85 percent of campus energy needs will eventually be met and UNH energy costs will be stabilized.

The University of New Hampshire is the first university in the nation to undertake a landfill gas project of this magnitude. We are proud of this accomplishment, which clearly demonstrates the power of public/private partnerships in New Hampshire.

Our online daily newsletter, UNHtoday, now reaches more than 45,000 people who want to know more about UNH. I encourage you to subscribe. Please also feel free to send me your feedback. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
