What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

CenTrio is advancing the engineering design for a 25-megawatt electric boiler at its Western Avenue plant, marking the first phase of its decarbonization plan. This boiler will provide approximately 85,000 pounds of steam per hour, allowing CenTrio to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while serving buildings connected to its district energy system. Construction is planned to begin in 2027, following the completion of engineering and permitting.
