An anaerobic, dry biodigester has been capturing methane campus food waste and grass clippings since 2011. The gas is burned to generate around 8 percent of the campus's electricity.
With the help of a $339,000 grant from the Wisconsin Public Service Commission's Energy Innovation Program, the campus will install a biogas powered hot water boiler and pipe heat to its nearby 55,000 square foot Campus Services Center.
Stephanie Spehar, director of the campus's Sustainable Institute for Regional Transformations, said UW-Oshkosh will now be able to use excess methane that is otherwise flared.
