Environmental Leadership More than 19 MW of renewable power is produced at city-
owned facilities, earning top rankings by the EPA as a Green Power Purchasing Agency.
POINT LOMA WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT:
90-foot outfall is a hydroelectric generator that powers the operation.
The methane gas created as a The methane gas created as a by-product of waste treatment is captured and sold.
Environmental Leadership More than 19 MW of renewable power is produced at city-
owned facilities, earning top rankings by the EPA as a Green Power Purchasing Agency.
SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
1.1 MW solar installations power Alvarado and Otay Mesa water treatment plants
17 other, smaller solar installations at city facilities
Environmental Leadership The city saves taxpayers millions of dollars on energy
costs each year through policies and practices, including LEED-certified buildings and energy-efficiency retrofits.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
Ridgehaven office facility was nation’s first Energy Star Building
SD Convention Center retrofit saves 2.7 million kWh annually
All city facilities have undergoneenergy-efficiency overhauls
Environmental Leadership The city is committed to best environmental practices at
all its facilities and has led the way on green initiatives.
MIRAMAR LANDFILL:
ISO 4001 certification
Landfill-diversion (recycling) rate of 64%
Biomass energy production

Clean Tech Initiative
San Diego Clean Tech Initiative (2007) Key desired outcomes: job creation, additional revenues and
improve environmental quality (reduction of GHG (AB32) ~210 Cleantech companies in San Diego County ~100 located in the City of San Diego San Diego Clean Enterprise Collaboration with SDG&E, CTSD and City of San Diego (2009) San Diego Clean Generation Program PACE Financing program: energy efficiency, renewable (PV,
solar water heater) and water conservation solutions (grey water t ) (J 2010)system) (June 2010)
Clean Tech Innovation ChallengeChallenge
Commercialization of innovations UCSD William J. von Liebig Center SDSU The Technology Transfer Office
The process of commercialization of an idea can be complicated and challengingcomplicated and challenging
Pre-company development stage have traditionally limited access to financing support due to the inherent risks and uncertainty
The von Liebig Center helps d i k t d b lreduce risk presented by early
stage technologies
