Sustainability on a Big Scale

Hudson Yards boasts a first-of-its-kind microgrid, which features two eco-friendly cogeneration plants. Four large engines in those plants generate electricity, but the excess heat they give off is recaptured and used to both heat and cool the neighborhood’s buildings. This state-of-the-art process reduces greenhouse-gas emissions by an estimated 25,000 metric tons of CO2 each year.
