Bowdoin College announced on Tuesday its launch of “Sustainable Bowdoin 2042,” a clean-energy plan that has the goal of attaining a fossil fuel-free campus by 2042. The plan hinges on investing a minimum of $100 million in campus infrastructure improvements between now and 2037. The Brunswick-based college said the plan will focus on producing renewable electricity, increasing the energy efficiency of its buildings and transitioning to a fossil fuel-free heating system, while maintaining the ability to adapt as newer technologies emerge.
