Buildings and manufacturing plants account for roughly two thirds of U.S. CO2 emissions, and therefore present a significant opportunity to meet carbon reduction goals. Many organizations recognize enterprise-wide carbon reduction goals are central to efficient operations and robust financial performance. Through Better Buildings, Better Plants, DOE is working with industry leaders to explore low carbon pathways. Over the next two years, DOE will work with interested partners to demonstrate real world successes in achieving low carbon emissions from building and manufacturing operations and will share these solutions with the market.
