Edward R. Murrow High School Vegetable Oil Biofuel Heating System

completed

Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn has converted its entire campus heating system to run on vegetable oil biofuel, becoming 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. This initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce emissions in the local community and has passed its first cold-weather test since retrofitting last year.
