Ohio University Lausche Heating Plant
The Ohio University Lausche Heating Plant is a coal-fired power station owned and operated by Ohio University (OU) on its campus in Athens, Ohio, built in 1967. Lausche has three coal-fired boilers and one natural gas boiler and, according to the OU Website, "coal use is always predominant because it is significantly - about four times - less expensive than natural gas."

In March 2011, the Ohio University administration made a promise not to consider coal as an energy source for a new heating plant. The administration has said that it must replace the Lausche facility by the year 2016, as the useful life of its boilers draws to a close. OU is located within an area characterized as "within attainment" by Title V of the EPA's Clean Air Act, exempting the plant from having certain pollution controls, such as scrubbers to abate sulfur dioxide emissions. However, in order to comply with regulations, flue gases do travel through baghouses that catch fly ash and particulate matter.
