The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced that Oregon State University is the top purchaser of green power in the Pacific-10 Conference, with 67 million kilowatt-hours.
The EPA’s Green Power Partnership recognizes collegiate athletic conferences with the most combined green power purchases in the U.S. Oregon State will receive the Individual Conference Champion Award for 2008-09, which recognizes the school with the highest green power purchase.
OSU has launched many sustainability initiatives in the past year, including the installation in its gym of 22 retrofitted elliptical machines that transfer energy generated by students into the power grid. Also, the university later this year will open its new $55 million energy center, which will be capable of burning renewable fuels like methane and diesel.
