With governments squeezing carbon out of their power grids, zero-emission buildings will emerge as an important tool for reaching carbon neutrality by mid-century. It’s already happening in California.
Two of the state’s universities, the University of California and Stanford University, are taking new steps to eliminate carbon emissions in their buildings.
Earlier this month, the University of California announced a new sustainability goal: the massive public university system would seek to achieve 100 percent clean electricity across its campuses and medical centers by 2025. UC had previously announced its intent to be carbon neutral by that same year.
