DOE Announces Funding, New Industry Partnerships to Decarbonize American Manufacturing
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced it will fund new pilot projects for the American manufacturing sector to reduce carbon emissions, a key step toward meeting President Biden’s goal of a carbon-neutral economy by 2050. According to the DOE, America’s industrial sector contributed 23 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in 2019.
“The DOE is helping reestablish U.S. manufacturing leadership, while scaling up the technologies needed to reduce our collective carbon footprint and address climate change,” says Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
