It may save some. However, what they are really doing is moving the CO2 emmissions off campus. They eliminate the CO2 from the campus coal-fired boilers, but add it to the coal-fired electrical generating plants of the local utility. Unless, of course, the local utility generates electricity from wind, biomass, hydro, or nuclear. This project will not save the approximately 80,000 tons of CO2 emmissions that it advertises.
