Climate change is driving both the loss of biodiversity and the need for clean, renewable energy. It is also shifting where species are expected to live in the future. Yet these realities are rarely considered together. Where can clean energy projects be built without impacting the future habitat ranges of threatened and endangered species?

A recent collaborative research endeavor that included UC Davis, Columbia University, and others, has shed light on the critical importance of safeguarding biodiversity under the expanding domain of solar power.

he U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is backing UC Davis with $1.98 million to lead a project in the race to decarbonize industry. Under the guidance of WCEC Director Vinod Narayanan, the UC Davis collaboration will explore advanced methodologies for the extraction and repurposing of low-grade waste heat within industrial processes.

Maintaining a healthy indoor environment involves more than just temperature control; it's also about balancing energy efficiency and air quality.
