FACT SHEET: Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Federal Government and Across the Supply Chain | The White House.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Barack Obama has signed an executive order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while boosting clean energy. “Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade” directs federal agencies to cut their greenhouse gas emissions from levels measured in 2008 by 40% by 2025 and increase the federal government’s use of renewables by 30%. In addition to 21 million metric tons of emission reductions, achieving this goal could save up to $18 billion in avoided energy costs between 2008 and 2025.
