Eco Factor: World’s first stadium with self-generating renewable energy systems.
Lincoln Financial Field, the home stadium to American football club the Philadelphia Eagles, will soon become the first stadium in the world with self-generating renewable energy. The football club has entered a joint venture with Solar Blue, a Florida firm that will be investing about $30 million in the project over the next year.
The stadium will include 2500 solar panels and a set of 80 spiral-shaped wind turbines to generate renewable electricity. The stadium will also feature a co-generation power plant that will utilize natural gas and bio-diesel fuel. The plan is scheduled to be finished in time for next September’s start of the 2011 National Football League season.
