An innovative boiler plant at Valley City State University is saving money while powering the campus into the future. The highly energy-efficient facility sheds light on the inner workings of steam production to provide a learning opportunity for students and other passersby. Also, because they are one of North Dakota’s leaders in environmental sustainability, Valley City State University is planning to use this new plant to develop the next phase of clean coal processing and activated carbon capture in a later addition in partnership with the Energy and Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota.
