According to The Columbus Dispatch, The Ohio State University is seeking Ohio Power and Siting Board approval for a combined heat and power plant.
The outlet wrote that the combined heat and power plant is expected to reduce the university’s carbon emissions by 35% in its first full year of operations, Ohio State spokesman Dan Hedman said. The plant is also needed to support planned facilities such as a new inpatient hospital and buildings that will make up Ohio State’s West Campus Innovation District.
