Stanford University was awarded Climate Registered™ Platinum status for its 2021 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory report submission. Stanford achieved Platinum status through its renewable energy initiatives, annual third-party verification of its emissions inventories, and training attendance, among other criteria. 

The Stanford Energy System Innovations (SESI) project encompassed updates to more than 155 buildings on campus, and transformed the energy supply from one based on fossil fuels to an electrically-powered heat recovery system. View the SESI awards page for a complete list of recognition related to this energy transformation.
