The University of Missouri has shown a serious commitment to increasing renewable energy consumption. The incorporation of biomass into the fuel mix has allowed Mizzou to soar from 1% of our energy coming from renewable sources in 2010, to 40% in 2018. Increasing the proportion of energy coming from renewable resources demonstrates Mizzou’s commitment to clean air for all. Increasing renewable energy consumption on campus has the added effect of helping to educate students on the feasibility of incorporating renewable energy into everyday life.
