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.

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 repurposed vegetable oil, processed into diesel fuel with additives and a catalyst, providing a low-emission alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The retrofit was completed last year and has passed its first cold-weather test this winter without any noticeable difference in heating performance. |
