<title>Emissions a problem in using grass as fuel</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21028/20121207/emissions-a-problem-in-using-grass-as-fuel</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 7, 2012) North Country farmers working with Cornell Cooperative Extension have been raising switchgrass for years. This region is a good one for growing grass. And there&apos;s lots of &quot;marginal&quot; land.Switchgrass looks like a promising crop...and source of heat. But other research here shows there&apos;s a big problem with burning switchgrass pellets for heat: emissions, namely carbon monoxide. Mike Newtown teaches in the energy technology department at SUNY Canton. He says grass pellets will emit between 1,000 to 15,000 parts per million of carbon monoxide—he says about 35 parts per million of Carbon Monoxide gas would be acceptable. Working with colleagues at Clarkson University, Newtown&apos;s been researching how well switchgrass burns. They found that the pellets can be a good source of heat, measured in British Thermal Units or BTUs—but as it turns out, switchgrass just doesn&apos;t burn that well. Not nearly as well as cord wood, to name another native biofuel. Grass, he says, is just different.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19310/20120215/arson-ruled-out-in-suny-canton-fire</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 15, 2012) Investigators have determined that a fire that broke out last Friday at SUNY Canton wasn’t caused by “an intentional or criminal act.” Students were evacuated, and the campus is shut down this week as local fire and police departments look into what started the fire. In a press release, the Canton Fire Department said Tuesday that the fire had started in a chemistry prep and storage room. College spokesman Randy Sieminski says they’re waiting for test results to make sure it’s safe to reopen academic buildings and residence halls.  He says the school is still hopeful that classes will resume on Monday. He told Julie Grant everyone&apos;s glad arson has been ruled out as a cause.

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 23, 2011) The State University of New York is apparently softening on the idea of a shared president for the Canton and Potsdam campuses.  More than a hundred Canton College supporters attended a meeting of SUNY Trustees in New York City yesterday.  Afterwards, Chancellor Nancy Zimpher sent a press release saying that SUNY still wants the schools to reduce administrative costs and redirect the money to support students.  But she says SUNY understands “that support falls short at the concept of one president serving two campuses.”SUNY trustees have asked for a joint report by the presidents of the Potsdam and Canton colleges on how they will reduce costs by sharing services by July 2012.  Similar reports are due from other campuses around the state targeted for partial mergers.
