Ohio University has fully moved to natural gas for heating, eliminating coal use since 2011. The change halves the campus carbon footprint, removes smokestack infrastructure this spring, and supports a broader Climate Action Plan. Two temporary gas boilers replace coal boilers, with permanent boilers due by 2017.
