MORRISVILLE – Morrisville State College is among 19 New York State Universities that will receive grant funding through the second round of the NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant Program.

SUNY Morrisville, in collaboration with SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Delhi, will receive a total of $15 million to support their NYS Bioenergy Learning Collaborative Project (NYSBLC). The project calls for the development of three commercial-scale, one megawatt anaerobic biodigesters, one located at each campus. Biodigesters carry the capacity to convert animal waste, including cow, horse and other livestock manure, into energy, thereby helping farms better handle utility expenses and waste management.

While the NYSBLC project prompts an enormous educational impact, it can also have a huge effect on several Chenango County-based industries, said state legislators.
