Decarbonization

Buildings and manufacturing plants account for a large percentage of U.S. emissions, and many recognize that emissions reduction goals are central to efficient operations and robust financial performance. DOE is working with partners to demonstrate real-world emission reduction pathways for all types of buildings and plants and to share these solutions with the market.

 

The Strategic Approach

There are multiple steps in the process making buildings and facilities more efficient, but a good place to start is developing a portfolio-wide plan. The process described in DOE's Emissions Reduction Planning Framework helps organizations develop an actionable plan that identifies solutions, prioritizes measures, and lays out a phased pathway to achieve deep emissions reductions.
