Carbon Emissions in billions
Reduction from more efficient use of electricity
in heating and cooling systems, lighting,
appliances, and electronic equipment.
Reduction from end-use efficiency, meaning that
we design building and businesses to use far less
energy than they currently do
Reduction from increased vehicle efficiency by
manufacturing cars that run on less gas and
putting more hybrid and fuel-cell cars on the
roads
Reduction from making other changes in transport
efficiency, such as designing cities and town to
have better mass transit systems and building
heavy trucks that have greater fuel efficiency
Reduction from increased reliance on renewable
energy technologies that already exist, such as
wind and biofuels
Reduction from the capture and storage of excess
carbon from power plants and industrial activities

What WeAre Doing Now
More efficient heating and cooling systems, lighting, appliances, and electronic equipment.
End-use efficiency (design buildings and businesses to use far less energy than they currently do)
Increase vehicle efficiency (cars that run on less gas, and more hybrid and fuel-cell cars)
Making other changes in transport efficiency (better mass transit systems and heavy trucks that use less fuel)
Increase renewable energy (wind, solar and biofuels)
Capture and store carbon from power plants and factories
