- One company reduced C02 emissions through more efficient production of steam and electric power, by investing in 85 cogeneration facilities at some 30 company locations worldwide.
- Through its energy-efficiency subsidiary - fourth largest in the U.S. – one company saved its customers 177 million kWh of electricity and 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas in 2005 alone.
- One company implemented a five-year $350 million program to increase energy efficiency. In 2005, total primary energy consumption at this company was approximately two percent less than in 2004.
- One company is investing $100 million to add 250 megawatts of cogeneration to a refinery to more fully use its refinery fuel gas - increasing refinery efficiency and reducing emissions.
- Through a consistent focus on energy efficiency, one company has reduced its own energy consumption per unit of output by 24 percent since 1992.
- Through voluntary efforts such as participation in the EPA Natural Gas STAR program, one company has reduced natural gas emissions by more than 20 billion cubic feet in the U.S. since 1991.
- One company is working with Toyota and Caterpillar on separate programs to design high-efficiency, low-emission gasoline and diesel fuel/engine systems.
- One company completed extensive upgrades to 16 Colorado state buildings that are expected to reduce energy costs at the facilities by 25-30 percent and save state taxpayers nearly $1 million annually and more than $20 million over the next two decades.
- Partnering with the California Institute of Technology, one company is conducting a multi-million dollar research program that could open the door to a radical new way of producing solar cells, making the cost of solar electricity more competitive and increasing current efficiency levels.
