1. A system, comprising:
a first subsystem configured to produce a resource by consuming electricity;
a second subsystem configured to produce the resource by consuming a fuel; and
a controller configured to:
determine an allocation of a predicted demand for the resource over a future time period between the first subsystem and the second subsystem based on a first carbon emissions rate associated with off-site production of the electricity and a second carbon emissions rate associated with on-site consumption of the fuel; and
control the first subsystem and the second subsystem to produce the resource in accordance with the allocation during the future time period.
