Stanford’s new Central Energy Facility uses electricity rather than methane for heating and cooling needs, and employs thermal energy storage so as to operate equipment at times with the lowest electricity pricing and store energy for later use: https://sustainable.stanford.edu/campus-action/stanford-energy-system-innovations-sesi

- UCD’s Institute for Transportation Studies and Policy Institute led a recent effort to develop the report Driving California’s Transportation Emissions to Zero. Published in April 2021, this project was funded by the CA Legislature and develops scenarios for reducing transportation emissions to zero by 2045.
