Alaska Center for Energy and Power

A project combining solar energy and food production is scheduled to launch next year. University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers will test the concept during Alaska’s short but intense summer.

UAF Researchers will study reducing air pollution in the North Pole area with new thermal storage units. Over the next three winters, they will try to see if homeowners save money by using the units instead of heating with wood. Folks can find out more about the program at the website the Alaska Center for Energy and Power set up for the field study.
