Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Metropolitan Energy Center's (MEC) is to help create resource efficiency, environmental health, and economic vitality in America's Heartland.
Clean Transportation Program: Through our projects and programmatic activities, in 2019 alone we helped local government and private fleets to directly eliminate 12,639 tons of greenhouse gases by replacing 10.8 million gallons of gasoline and diesel with clean fuels, electricity, and reduced vehicle usage. These benefits also directly increase human health in affected deployment areas. Our activities include providing decision-support resources to organizational management, as well as direct technical and funding assistance. We also engage directly with the general public through information campaigns and with local and state policymakers as subject matter experts. Long-term programmatic areas of engagement include Kansas City Regional Clean Cities and Central Kansas Clean Cities coalitions, both of which operate locally, and access and contribute to a nationwide network of peers; Mid-America Green Fleets, providing fleet technical assistance and coaching; Electrify Heartland, overseeing electric vehicle projects and programming, including to the general public; and Biodiesel Outreach and Training, providing informational resources to fleets and fuel retailers and providing training to college students.
Energy Efficient Buildings: Through our Energy Solutions Hub, Metro Energy Center facilitates education, resource matchmaking and technical assistance to commercial property managers and government agencies, with the goal of helping them implement energy efficiency technologies and practices, and helping them access available external funding sources. We also support local government and their constituent service providers with energy benchmarking and codes compliance. We reach homeowners, renters and the public generally through Project Living Proof, our demonstration home that tangibly illustrates sustainable building materials, xeriscaped lawns, and healthy homes education. It is also used for small business workforce development trainings in the energy and environment fields.
