White House to unveil multi-pronged approach to reduce emissions in the manufacturing sector
CNN
The White House will unveil new efforts to reduce emissions in the manufacturing sector Tuesday, including nearly $10 billion in Department of Energy funding from President Joe Biden's signature infrastructure law aimed at "clean hydrogen" manufacturing.
The announcement also includes the launch of a new "Buy Clean Task Force," which promotes the use of low-carbon and carbon-neutral materials, boosting federal procurement of clean construction materials and building on efforts already underway at the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages a nationwide federal real estate portfolio and oversees approximately $75 billion in annual contracts.
In addition, the Council on Environmental Quality will issue Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS) guidance outlining how agencies should plan on using $12 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to store carbon emissions from smokestacks and existing emissions, in service of moving towards a net-zero economy.
