Member Spotlight
Cynthia Clark University of California, Office of the President Renewable Energy Manager 37 | 2/18/2020
The University of California The University of California improves the lives of people in California and around the world through world-class educational opportunities, groundbreaking research, top-rated health care and agricultural expertise. 38
TCR Membership UC campuses have been reporting to TCR since at least as far back as 2009 UC’s Sustainability Policy ties directly to TCR methodology for measuring GHG footprint UCOP and all 10 campuses report separately as part of our system-wide membership UC Office of the President has been reporting annual GHG emissions to TCR and undergoing third-party verification since 2013 TM Gold status 2017 Climate Registered 39
UC Carbon Neutrality Mission University of California’s buildings and fleets will become net carbon neutral by 2025 . Vision The University of California is developing scalable solutions to build the low-carbon future our research has proven to be imperative. Policy UC’s Sustainability Policy includes sections on Clean Energy (Energy Efficiency, On-campus Renewable Electricity, Off-campus Clean Electricity, and On-campus Combustion), Green Building and Transportation 40
UC’s Carbon Neutrality Strategies = Smart Growth = Energy efficiency + conservation = On-site renewable energy = Utility-scale clean electricity = Biomethane = Cap and trade compliance offsets = Off-campus carbon reduction actions 41

Electric Power Sector Reporting • In 2014, UC became a Registered Electric Service Provider in California • Goals included price transparency, cost causation, and ability to enter long-term agreements for Renewable Power Carbon Intensity of UC-Supplied Electricity CAMX eGRID2018 • Allows us to self-supply a significant portion electricity consumed across the system • Campus emissions reduced using utility-specific emissions factor in CRIS • Target is 0 lbs CO2/MWh for 2019 and beyond 44
Key Takeaways Transparency Public reporting enhances transparency and recognition of UC actions in support of carbon neutrality goal Credibility Third party verification of reported GHG Emissions fosters credibility and accuracy Insight Highlights carbon reduction opportunities 45
