DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – The City of Duluth has won the Energy and Climate Award for work in de-carbonizing Duluth Energy Systems.
The award recognizes the modernization of the former steam plant into a closed loop hot water system.
Since the work, done in conjunction with the Superior Street rebuilding project, air quality has improved and carbon emissions have been reduced.
Coal usage at the plant is down by 80 percent, greenhouse gasses have dropped by 20 percent.
The closed distribution system also conserves 20 million gallons of Lake Superior water each year.
The Duluth Energy System is city owned and provides heating service to over 160 buildings in downtown Duluth and the Canal Park area.
