Summary

Harvard University’s District Energy Facility (DEF) is an important step toward curbing global climate change. It’s designed to adapt to emerging sources of energy that are expected to replace high-carbon-based fuels. It is expected to be fossil fuel-neutral by 2026 (burning many kinds of fuel in addition to natural gas) and fossil-fuel-free by 2050.

As noted above, the DEF’s major innovation is its ability to use varied types of fuels. A possible fuel could be combining it with solar panels. Hydrogen manufactured by electricity from solar panels could be injecting into natural gas. Most of the energy could come from solar-generated hydrogen.
