Pollack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Earlier this year, Cornell was again recognized by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), the international group tracking environmental stewardship across more than 1,000 college campuses, with a platinum sustainability rating\u2014the highest level possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are the only Ivy to have earned this rating, and the first university in the world to have achieved it three years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This accomplishment is a reflection of the commitment to sustainability that characterizes Cornell, not only across our operations and facilities, but throughout our institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a commitment that has led us to set, and prioritize, an ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality on our Ithaca campus by 2035 through our <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablecampus.cornell.edu\/our-leadership\/cap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Climate Action Plan<\/a>\u2014aiming not only to achieve a carbon-neutral energy system in our own community, but to do so in pathbreaking ways that add to the global sustainability toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is a commitment that has led us to support and marshal, in effective and far-reaching ways, the tremendous expertise of our faculty in tackling the immensely complex web of global sustainability challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On our Ithaca campus, we are moving steadily toward our goal of a carbon-neutral energy system, thanks to a mix of highly efficient solar projects, green building construction, hydroelectric power, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fcs.cornell.edu\/departments\/energy-sustainability\/utilities\/cooling-home\/cooling-production-home\/lake-source-cooling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lake Source Cooling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>On our Ithaca campus, we are moving steadily toward our goal of a carbon-neutral energy system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recently completed North Campus Residential Expansion (NCRE) is incredibly energy- and resource-efficient, with 12-inch-thick insulated walls, state-of-the-art LED lighting, high-reflectance roofing, and high-efficiency rooftop solar panels that together generate 1.1 megawatt hours of electricity annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And our Cornell Tech campus, in New York City, is home to both the world\u2019s first high-rise passive house residential building (the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehouseatcornelltech.com\/sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">House at Cornell Tech<\/a>) and the first academic building (the <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.cornell.edu\/news\/cornell-tech-on-path-to-reach-net-zero-at-the-bloomberg-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Emma and Georgina Bloomberg Center<\/a>) designed to be net-zero energy efficient, with all-electric power, geothermal wells, a green roof with solar photovoltaic arrays, and smart building technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To heat our Ithaca campus through the chilly Central New York winters, we are exploring the potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.list.cornell.edu\/t\/126968771\/77267763\/1342003\/2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Earth Source Heat<\/a> (ESH): a deep geothermal system that, if successful, will be a source of emissions-free energy. In its simplest terms, the system involves pumping water deep into hot underground rock, and then returning that water to the surface to heat, via a heat exchanger, a separate water supply with which to warm our campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of our ESH feasibility study, we spent the summer drilling the two-mile-deep <a href=\"https:\/\/news.cornell.edu\/stories\/2022\/10\/drilling-ends-and-data-analysis-begins-borehole-observatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cornell University Borehole Observatory<\/a> (CUBO): a source of information on the temperature, permeability, and other key characteristics of the rock far below our Ithaca campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the data are still preliminary, they are promising, and we are optimistic that we will be able to move forward\u2014enabling us to not only meet our carbon-neutrality goals, but lead the way for similar renewable energy efforts elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainability research is being pursued across all of our colleges and campuses: work that is bringing us advanced decarbonized energy systems, cleaner animal agriculture, more sustainable and efficient solar cells and batteries, more equitable policies, and better methods of removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and keeping microplastics out of oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key to uniting and accelerating all of that work is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atkinson.cornell.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability<\/a>: our hub for collaborative sustainability work across Cornell, powering connections across the University and beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Key to uniting and accelerating all of that work is the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And through collaborations like the <a href=\"https:\/\/tci.cornell.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tata-Cornell Institute for Agriculture and Nutrition<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextgencassava.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NextGen Cassava<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ilci.cornell.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement<\/a>, we are working to reduce malnutrition and food insecurity in ways that are equitable and sustainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current decade is a critical one for the future of our society and our planet. To help turn scientific breakthroughs into practical solutions, we\u2019ve launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.cornell.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2030 Project: A Cornell Climate Initiative<\/a>\u2014mobilizing the vast range of sustainability expertise at Cornell in the fight for a livable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the backing of Cornell Atkinson, and alumni and donors around the world, the 2030 Project recently awarded <a href=\"https:\/\/news.cornell.edu\/stories\/2022\/09\/methane-microbes-2030-project-conveys-first-grants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its first grants<\/a>: supporting work to reduce methane emissions in the dairy industry, minimize worker disruption in the transition to electric vehicles, recapture carbon dioxide, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtually none of the sustainability challenges we face lie wholly in a single field or discipline. They span human and veterinary medicine, chemistry and computer science, development sociology and applied economics, geology and oceanography, architecture and agriculture, every field of engineering, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solving those problems will demand expertise not just within each field, but across them\u2014as well as the drive for innovation, collaboration, and excellence that characterizes our ethos at Cornell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Top: Photo by Jason Koski \/ Cornell University<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Published November 21, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From conducting research to reducing the energy our campuses use, we\u2019re leading the way to a greener future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"alumni_hub_syml_posts":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"cornell_year_post":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-13730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-president"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
