Almost a quarter (23 percent) of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions come directly from industrial sources, such as manufacturing, food processing, mining, and construction. In August 2020, EPA issued two amendments (i.e., the 2020 methane rule) that effectively rescinded the 2016 oil and gas new source performance standards (NSPS) under Section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act. These amendments removed transmission and storage segments from covered oil and gas source categories, rescinded NSPS applicable to those sources, and rescinded methane-specific requirements for the production and processing segments under Section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act. In the amendments, EPA declared that there are no emissions impacts or potential costs from removing the methane requirements for new, reconstructed, and modified sources in the production and processing segments. The Clean Air Act requires EPA to establish New Source Performance Standards for greenhouse gas emissions from all significant emitting subsectors, as clarified in the U.S. Supreme Court case *Massachusetts v. * Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, U.S. EPA.

# Energy Efficiency Reduces Industrial Carbon Emissions | ENERGY STAR. 4. Energy Efficiency Reduces Industrial Carbon Emissions. * Energy Efficiency Reduces Industrial Carbon Emissions. # Energy Efficiency Reduces Industrial Carbon Emissions. Using energy more efficiently can reduce energy use, associated emissions, and energy costs. ### **Driving deeper energy efficiency & savings**. Increased energy efficiency can reduce industrial carbon emissions by up to 34% in many sectors. Realizing these savings requires deeper efficiency and energy use reductions, particularly in the next 10 to 15 years. Driving deeper efficiency starts with an effective energy management program and implementing no- and low-cost operational & maintenance (O&M) saving opportunities followed by “off the shelf” upgrades such as LED lighting and VFDs. Moving to more complex energy engineering projects, such as waste heat recovery systems and optimizing and redesigning manufacturing processes, can deliver greater savings and carbon reductions. New approaches, technologies, and production strategies that use less energy and produce less carbon emissions are required across most industries.

There are numerous ways to help reduce industrial carbon emissions: adopting new green technologies like solvent recovery, employing waste reduction strategies, or empowering employees to make green choices, to name a few. **Upgrading equipment, optimizing processes, and implementing energy-saving technologies** can substantially reduce energy consumption and, consequently, industrial carbon emissions. Encourage your suppliers to adopt eco-friendly practices, source sustainable materials, and reduce their own industrial carbon emissions. As a result, businesses not only save costs by reducing their dependence on expensive virgin solvents but also contribute to a more sustainable environment by mitigating GHGs. CleanPlanet’s AlwaysClean solvent recyclers come accompanied with the MyCleanPlanet portal—a real-time monitoring platform that provides data on solvent recovery yield, waste production, energy consumption, GHG emissions reduction, and more. By integrating these strategies, you can significantly reduce your industrial carbon emissions footprint and contribute to a more sustainable industrial landscape. ⁹Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2021) – Reducing Industrial Carbon Emissions. ¹⁰Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2021) – Reducing Industrial Carbon Emissions.

It can reduce the need for air conditioning in buildings and thus lower energy consumption and associated GHG emissions. Simple actions like using natural light to save electricity, reducing household waste, or using energy-efficient appliances can make a substantial difference. Efficient appliances, LED lighting, and smart thermostats can significantly reduce your home’s electricity consumption, lowering your carbon footprint — and impacting your energy bill. Given that meat and dairy production at scale contribute significantly to GHG emissions, shifting towards a more plant-rich diet can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Energy production in various forms is responsible for 72% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. #### How can being energy efficient reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Since producing energy and heating are the most significant sources of GHG emissions, being smart and careful about our energy use simply makes sense. HomeBiogas systems are practical tools for reducing methane emissions right from home.
