Description
Description | Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn has converted its entire campus heating system to run on vegetable oil biofuel, making it the first school in New York City to fully adopt this renewable energy system. The system uses four boilers powered by vegetable oil biofuel, a low-emission alternative to traditional fossil fuels, which is repurposed from used cooking oil into diesel fuel with additives and a catalyst. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions and can potentially be scaled to other buildings in the city. |
