In 2021 The United States revised its Energy Efficiency Plan Initiatives to target a:
- 50-52% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by the year-end 2030
- 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035, and
- Net zero emissions economy by 2050
WHAT IS A CARBON FOOTPRINT?
"A Carbon footprint is the amount of Greenhouse Gases, primarily Carbon Dioxide, released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity, and is measured as tons of CO2 emitted per year."
- Energy use is responsible for 73.2% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Electricity and heat production comprise the majority of that sector
- Every kWh of electricity produced releases 2.2 Pounds of Carbon into the atmosphere
- The Industrial Sector is responsible for one-third of energy-related emissions that are created during the manufacturing process
With electricity being one of the driving forces behind greenhouse gas emissions, optimizing energy usage and creating energy efficiencies is a primary goal in ultimately reducing the carbon footprint.
- Our Custom Power Factor Correction Units reduce the amount of current (KWh) supplied by the utility company thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint, all while saving money on your electric bill.
