2 Chapter 4: How Do We Scale and Implement Technologies and Best Practices to State, National and Global Levels? High-level finding: The System is the Solution Scaling solutions: requires an active knowledge creation, evaluation and deployment ecosystem; the CA government + UCs + National Labs + Creative Businesses have an excellent track record creating that enabling environment. CA: Million solar roof Result: Solutions scale nationally and globally from this dynamic. Materials science R&D Learning by doing Energy access worldwide

3 Addressing the Water-Energy Nexus The Hoover Dam in May Taken by David Feldman. Key Recommendations from the UC/DOE Water-Energy Nexus Workshop Held at UC Irvine, May 28-29, Foster institutional collaboration between water and energy entities. 2. Establish a shared energy-water data platform. 3. Develop a shared water-energy systems understanding. 4. Educate and inform planning, policy, and consumer behavior. 5. Develop the business case with crosssector accounting and investments. --

5 SWITCH-WECC: Modeling the Electricity Mix, 2020 Coal, hydropower, and gas generation dominate the system SWITCH: rael.berkeley.edu/project/switch-a-modeling-tool-for-the-electricity-sector/ 5

6 SWITCH-WECC: Modeling the Electricity Mix, 2050 Electricity production mix is much more dynamic by 2050 SWITCH: rael.berkeley.edu/project/switch-a-modeling-tool-for-the-electricity-sector/ 6

7 Chapter 4: How Do We Scale and Implement Technologies and Best Practices to State, National and Global Levels? High-level finding: We have tools, but far greater integration is needed Use-Inspired Basic Research: Systems design (examples: land-use; energy infrastructure; water management) can inspire and enable fundamental research that scales nationally and globally: Challenges under attack, but problems remain: Energy: Evolution to a smart, resilient, real-time system adds value and jobs while meeting equity and environmental goals. CA now a global model for decarbonization. Water: Efficient resource use, behavior and land-use planning are needed to meet dramatic reductions in need; changes in planning and markets remain under-used. Transportation: Low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) fleet electrification and smart-growth are all vital, but much more is needed in CA where transport is the largest GHG sector. Environmental Justice: Environmental impacts are local All of these actions have been taken up nationally and globally, but accelerated innovation is needed.

18 Chapter 4: How Do We Scale and Implement Technologies and Best Practices to State, National and Global Levels? Integrating science, technology, education and behavior: The cool campus challenge highlights best practices across the UC system, brings smart, green technology to bear as resource for behavioral-based competitions.

19 UC campuses are innovation centers for energy technologies and sustainable living UC San Diego Smartgrid Self gen 85% of demand Directed biogas fuel cell Energy Storage testbed 25% less GHGs than CA mix UC Davis West Village 2,000 residents Designed to use 50% less electricity than CA Title megawatts solar onsite Met 82% of use in UCLA s Sustainable LA Transform LA County to 100% renewable energy, 100% local water, and enhanced ecosystem health by faculty researchers Campus test bed includes smart EVs powering grid

20 Energy solutions scale from campuses to States and beyond UCOP is working with industry to bring 80 MWs of solar power to help achieve UC s carbon neutrality goals By 2020, UC Merced could become the first UC Campus to achieve carbon neutrality

21 Opportunities to Accelerate Innovation & Scale Solutions Leverage creative UC partnerships: Campus Campus Campus Lab Campus-Industry Innovate science and technology towards scalable carbon neutrality solutions Intersectoral partnerships: Partner UC campuses with Cities, Regions, State, and Federal organizations: e.g., DOE, CEC and Industry Develop technologies and provide real-world testbeds Partnering with industry: Deploy solutions, influence markets, and create new industries and jobs Success through target driven goals: GHG emission reduction goals Energy cost goals Competitions Technology performance goals The Technology-Behavior Nexus is Vital
