Summary

The College of New Jersey is kicking off Earth Week 2024 by developing a comprehensive energy plan called “TCNJ 2040: The Carbon Neutral Journey.”

The plan will establish a roadmap for converting fossil fuel-consuming equipment so the campus will ultimately be served entirely by carbon-free energy sources such as renewables and nuclear power.

“This roadmap will identify ways to reduce emissions associated with how we use energy on campus, said Paul Romano senior director of sustainability and energy management at TCNJ. “It will also address how we can reduce emissions attributable to the production of power, as well as energy used to travel to and from campus.”

The college will receive funding for the plan through The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Higher Education Decarbonization Pilot Program, which focuses on incentivizing a broad scope of decarbonization strategies including energy efficiency, beneficial electrification, electric vehicle chargers, storage, and combined heat and power.
