CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Valley City State University is asking the Legislature for permission to issue .5 million in revenue bonds – to build an integrated carbon plant.

The plant would provide power to the campus – but has the added benefit of producing “activated carbon.”

VCSU president Tisa Mason says there’s a growing demand for that by-product.

Mason says the campus will work with the Energy and Environmental Research Center at UND. She says the project could be adapted on other campuses.
