72. Advancing Carbon Neutrality on Campus Mount Wachusett Community College Massachusetts Energy Summit 2010 October 7, 2010

73. Focus of Presentation There is no one clear cut solution to carbon neutrality – every business or institution presents its own challenges and possibilities. How do you balance operational considerations with your approach to carbon neutrality i.e. demand side management? What are some of the funding options available?

74. Critical Issues The rising and disproportionate costs of energy in the Northeast The Nation’s continued dependence on foreign oil & its impact on national security The obligation to address the need for increased energy production in consort with environmental protection

75. MWCC Projects Biomass Conversion Biomass Gasification – Combine Heat & Power Photovoltaics – 100KW Solar Thermal –Domestic Hot Water Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) Geothermal (Veteran’s Rehabilitation Center) Plug in Hybrid Wind Turbines

76. Biomass Conversion Average Annual Savings 2002-2009 Electricity: 4,046,874 (KWh) ( 45.97% reduction, enough to serve approximately 1200 residential all-electric customers per year) Water: 2,222,222 gals ( 52.52% reduction) CO 2 reduction: 24%

77. Biomass Conversion Cumulative Savings 2002-2009 Total kWh saved: 34,550,739 KWh Total Water Saved: 17,777,776 gals Total Dollars Saved: $3,829,434

78. Environmental Impact The energy savings accomplished by this project provide a significant environmental and health benefit from the reduction of air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. For example, we have reduced CO 2 emissions by 14,890 tons , NO x by 24.2 tons , and SO x by 64 tons . This reductions would be equivalent to planting 4,079 acres of trees and removing 2,601 automobiles from the roads .

79. Wind Turbines MWCC was been awarded $3,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy ( Energy and Water Development Appropriation Bill) to install two 1.65 MW wind turbines and to work with surrounding communities to develop implementation strategies for the installation of turbines across the state’s northern tier.

80. Wind Turbine Facts Total Project Cost: $9,003,425 Annual Est. Production: 4,977,422 KWh Total Annual Savings: $965,620 Percent of College Demand : 97% Percent of Output Returned to Grid: 30%

81. Funding Options U.S Department of Energy Mass Technology Collaborative & Renewable Energy Trust Funds Utility Rebates Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) Renewable Energy Credits Clean Energy Investment Program - General Obligation Bonds Performance Contracting

82. Climate Commitment “ By addressing the College’s responsibility to minimize its own contributions to global warming and by emphasizing the importance of making the transition to a low carbon, sustainable economy, the College has defined a new mission for the school; one that creates educational and professional opportunities for students, supports the professional development of faculty and staff while also encouraging a sustainable quality of life for residents in our service delivery area.”
