Mini doc: Chapel Hill Town Council holds public hearing for cogeneration facility

By Lauren Zola , Natalie Bradin and Amelie Fawson | February 16

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Air Quality held a public hearing on Jan. 16 at the Chapel Hill Town Hall to receive comments on UNC’s application to test a new fuel source at its cogeneration facility. The cogeneration facility, located on West Cameron Avenue, uses natural gas and coal to create energy. In July 2024, the University submitted an application to the DAQ to test engineered fuel pellets at the coal plant, according to UNC's energy services webpage. The webpage also says that it aims to "transition away from coal while increasing the use of renewable fuels” by testing the fuel pellets. According to the University’s webpage, the pellets are created from pre-consumer paper and plastic scraps that would otherwise end up in landfills. Writer Lauren Zola spoke to attendees at this public hearing to gather their thoughts on this proposed fuel source. Here is what they had to say.
