Please join Utilities & Sustainability for a town hall discussion on Friday, Nov. 1 at noon as they share the results of a comprehensive study on the decarbonization and electrification of UC San Diego’s energy systems. The objective of this town hall is to inform and engage the campus community on the study’s key findings and recommendations, and to gather feedback on the next steps of the planning process.
The study is part of continuous efforts towards decarbonization and will continue to evolve with ongoing engagement from our community, incorporation of new technologies, and the availability of green energy in the market. In pursuit of decarbonization goals, the primary focus of the study provides a detailed analysis associated with reducing Scope 1 emission from energy systems with the transitions away from fossil fuels. The study emphasizes the importance of a flexible, resilient, reliable, and secure energy distribution system to support continuous campus operations. Additionally, the study explores opportunities to leverage the campus as a living laboratory and identifies strategies for integrating equity, diversity, and justice into decarbonization efforts.
Your participation and input are important in shaping a sustainable pathway for UC San Diego. Please note ample time will be allotted for the Q&A portion of the town hall.
The Decarbonization Town Hall will be recorded and made available online following the event. Additional engagement events, both in-person and virtual, will continue to take place in the coming months. To stay informed, please see the Sustainability Events Calendar.
