Accelerating Investment in Industrial Energy Efficiency
Barack Obama · 44th PresidentPublished Sep 5, 2012Signed Aug 30, 2012
Document overview
Summary
The industrial sector accounts for over 30 percent of all energy consumed in the United States, and, for many manufacturers, energy costs affect overall competitiveness. While our manufacturing facilities have made progress in becoming more energy efficient over the past several decades, there is an opportunity to accelerate and expand these efforts with investments to reduce energy use through more efficient manufacturing processes and facilities and the expanded use of combined heat and power (CHP).
