University of Montana hopes to build biomass plant

Students are facing the loss of parking spaces to accommodate a new building that could reduce the University’s carbon footprint by 20 percent.

“The plant we are planning to build will use 60 percent less natural gas,” said Vice President of finance and administration Bob Duringer.
