U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (EM) sites across the country are taking steps to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce their carbon footprints. EM sites are implementing new water and energy conservation measures, installing onsite renewable energy systems and updating vehicle fleets with 300 electric and hybrid vehicles already purchased. The world’s largest environmental cleanup remains committed to further reducing greenhouse gas emissions and overall energy use at cleanup sites. EM also supports measures to improve efficiency among its sites using LED lighting and more efficient heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and electronics, all while encouraging sustainability within the workforce and supply chains.
