SUSTAINABILITY + CLIMATE PLANNING

Picture
We use our technical expertise to create appropriate, effective, and measurable solutions for sustainable performance. We help you determine the right actions to pursue based on your financial and sustainability characteristics. Whether you aim to reduce carbon footprint, conserve water, become more energy efficient, or green your supply chain, we analyze your potential actions and create a set of financial and sustainability metrics for each. With this informed comparison, you can make the right decisions for optimized business value.

For example, our team is currently working with the Lancaster Clean Energy on the implementation of a California Energy Commission (CEC) grant developing an advanced zero net energy community in the City of Lancaster, CA. This Advanced Energy Community (AEC) project will deploy a range of energy storage and microgrid technologies that demonstrate the power of innovative public-private partnerships to rapidly achieve 100% renewable electricity goals, increase community resilience, optimize value for ratepayers and grid operators, and provide affordable zero net energy housing at scale. ​

Design and Implement Innovative Approaches

Blue Strike has worked with numerous jurisdictions and organizations to design and implement innovative approaches to achieve climate goals; hence we are uniquely positioned to create actionable results. For example, Blue Strike is at the forefront of developing Carbon Funds to help organizations collect and allocate funds for climate action. Our solar technical assistance programs with local jurisdictions have resulted in multiple large-scale solar installments to support climate goals. Our climate action scenario analysis planning tool won an Innovation award from the California Higher Education Sustainability Conference. Climate Action and Sustainability Plans must be structured to be actionable, and because Blue Strike works both on the planning and implementation sides of this work, we will deliver results that lead to innovative change.

​
Utilize Widely-Adopted Methodologies

Organizations need efficient and effective results that are both specifically adapted to their needs and congruent with approaches used by other jurisdictions nationwide. To align with common standards and limit cost, Blue Strike recommends using ICLEI’s Climate Action Plan Template for streamlined and comprehensive Climate Action Plan development. Moreover, to ensure consistency with current sustainability best practices for adaptation and mitigation implementation measures, Blue Strike frequently uses the Institute for Local Government Best Practices Framework. Blue Strike is intimately familiar with these resource templates and has been asked to speak publicly about their implementation at the California Local Government Commission’s Annual Forum and ICLEI-produced webinars. This knowledge allow us to structure Plans to match the existing GHG inventory categories that Blue Strike has already developed using the standard ICLEI GHG inventory template.
Blue Strike also includes new innovations and strategic approaches that we have designed and implemented in other organizations that support reaching climate action goals. The resulting deliverables are strategic and dynamic documents guide organizations advance sustainability efforts through a specific Plan horizon and beyond.


Offer PhD-Level Technical Expertise

Our team’s deep and broad background in climate change policy and economics mean that the best insights and skills will be at the our clients’ fingertips.
Blue Strike has provided technical analyses for nation-wide climate change assessments (Keep It In the Ground legislation), state-wide methodologies (State of California), and internationally accepted carbon offset rules (Climate Action Reserve). We are regularly called on to provide expert witness testimony on energy policy at the California Public Utilities Commission. This high level of technical expertise add san important layer of value and robustness to this scope of work, ensuring that the deliverables meet a high level of rigor. Our work to develop and define methodologies for techno-economic analysis for climate action means that organizations can be assured that recommendations will be based on the best information and methods available.
