(Courthouse News photo / Joe Kelly) (CN) — Researchers at Cornell University have an idea, and they’re not just slinging a line of bull: They plan to produce renewable energy from cattle manure to both heat buildings through the freezing winter months and reduce the campus’ carbon footprint. According to a study published Tuesday in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, agricultural waste could help the university in its efforts to produce entirely clean energy. Cornell is striving to meet the demands for energy on its campus while also adapting to the need for clean energy sources in the face of climate change, aiming to be 100% carbon neutral by the year 2035. Members of the Cornell University Senior Leaders Climate Action Group have been proposing solutions since 2016 and have introduced ideas such as elevating building energy standards, replacing all campus-owned vehicles with a clean energy fleet, and educating students on climate literacy.
