University Geothermal System to Cut Energy Usage by Half
Missouri University of Science and Technology officials recently broke ground on a comprehensive geothermal project by drilling a hole in one of the on-site well fields. Once the geothermal energy project is completed in 2014, the campus’s annual energy use will be cut in half and its carbon footprint reduced by 25,000 metric tons per year.
