US Announces New Fuel Efficiency and Energy Standards

The United States is moving forward with a national solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from American vehicles. The new energy legislation passed by Congress and signed by President Bush at the end of 2007 provides increased federal fuel economy standards and other efficiency measures.

The two primary approaches for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles are increasing the fuel economy of vehicles and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their fuel. The recently signed energy bill addresses both approaches by increasing the fuel economy from vehicles to 35 miles per gallon, an increase of forty percent, as well as increasing the amount of renewable fuel used to 36 billion gallons, nearly a five fold increase.

Millipore is implementing its own energy efficiency and vehicle improvement programs. To learn more about our efforts, please visit our local efforts and reducing our impact .
