Eastern Illinois U. dedicated a 19,000-square-foot steam plant that will take advantage of biomass-gasification technology to heat the campus by burning wood chips. The university says the plant will save $140-million over 20 years, and will reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 20,000 metric tons a year. (Eastern Illinois U. photo by Jay Grabiec)
