Project Description
The program works with individual companies, groups of companies, and lead
organizations to increase uptake of cleaner production (CP) practices and
technologies to improve their financial performance through savings in
energy, water, raw materials, and waste disposal. Objectives include: 1)
at least 10 of 15 companies implementing CP recommendations, resulting in
at least 50 percent of potential energy, water, and materials savings,
annual avoidance of 50,000 metric tons of GHG emissions, reduction of
70,000 megawatt hours of energy consumption, annual cost savings
equivalent to $5 million, and accessing $5 million financing to implement
recommendations; and 2) at least one group of companies and one lead
organization establishing a systemic approach to extend or replicate CP
practices and technologies within the group or client portfolio. Expected
aggregate impacts after project completion include: 20 individual
companies implementing CP practices and technologies, realizing annual
avoidance of 100,000 metric tons of GHG emissions, reduction of 140,000
megawatt hours of energy consumption, and annual cost savings equivalent
to $10 million.
