Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UNH SELLS REC's off our EcoLine landfill gas pipeline into our cogeneration plan. We use the funds to finance the EcoLine project and to reinvest in our revolving energy efficiency fund on campus. As a result, we cannot claim all of the greenhouse emissions reductions from our production and use on campus of renewable energy as someone else is "buying" this right. In the end, though, UNH is reducing emissions, helping others to do so, and our state and region meet its renewable energy and climate change goals.
