Industrial Efficiency Initiatives
| Energy Savings Better Plants works with leading U.S. manufacturers to boost their energy savings, reliability, and economic competitiveness by optimizing energy performance. Through Better Plants, industrial organizations set specific energy reduction goals and commit to reducing energy intensity by typically 25% over a 10-year period across all their U.S. operations. | Water Savings Transporting and treating water in an industrial facility requires energy. Additionally, the efficient use of water can also lead to a more reliable water supply, reduced risk, and improved water quality. Through the Water Savings Network, Better Plants partners set goals to save water and receive recognition and tailored technical support. | Waste Reduction The Waste Reduction Network helps partners reduce waste, improve energy performance, and reduce operating costs. This network allows industry leaders to demonstrate what is achievable in waste reduction while helping DOE understand real-world problems and solutions, which aids other organizations in creating or improving their own waste programs. |
