"#DistrictEnergy systems are efficient, but that doesn't mean they don't have emissions. The St. Paul facility burns about 240,000 tons of tree waste a year. The Minneapolis plant is one of Hennepin County's largest users of natural gas.
But system leaders say their emissions are significantly lower than if each customer was heating and cooling their own building. Both systems aim to be carbon free by 2050."
