Sustainable Bowdoin 2042, the College’s plan for a fossil fuel-free campus within twenty years, was highlighted on Maine Public Radio.
The plan builds on Bowdoin’s environmental leadership to achieve 100 percent renewable electricity, creates a clear transition to a fossil fuel-free campus, and enhances existing academic programming.
As part of its ongoing series, Climate Driven: A Deep Dive into Maine’s Response, One County at a Time, Maine Public Radio reporter Carol Bousquet visited campus to highlight aspects of the plan, including the College’s efforts to replace its natural gas-fired power plant and prepare campus buildings for the installation of new low-temperature hot water heating and cooling system.
The piece includes portions of interviews with Director of Sustainability Keisha Payson, Director of Capital Projects John Simoneau, and Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Matthew Orlando.
