FEMP Mission

Facilitate the Federal Government’s

implementation of sound, cost-effective energy management & investment practices to enhance the nation’s energy security & environmental

stewardship

On October 5, President Obama Signed Executive Order 13514, Federal

Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance.

President Obama Signing EO 13514

• Executive Order 13514 establishes numerous goals for Federal agencies.

• EO 13514 represents a transformative shift in the way the government operates by:

1. establishing GHGs as the integrating metric for tracking progress in Federal sustainability

2. requiring a deliberative planning process

3. linking to budget allocations and OMB scorecards to ensure goal achievement.

• E.O. 13423 Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management (January 29, 2007) is not revoked by the new E.O.; the requirements of that Order remain in effect.

• Prepare GHG Target tool (done)

• Designate Senior Sustainability Officer11/5/09

• Participate in recommendations for addressing vendor and contractor GHG emissions

The new Executive Order also requires agenciesto meet sustainability targets, including: Achieve 30% reduction in vehicle fleet petroleum use by 2020

Achieve 26% reduction in potable & 20% reduction in industrial, landscaping, & agricultural water consumption by 2020

Comply with new EPA stormwater management guidance

Achieve 50% recycling & waste diversion by 2015

Requires that 95% of all applicable procurement contracts will meet sustainability requirements

Requires 15% of buildings meet the Guiding Principles for High Performance and Sustainable Buildings by 2015

Design all new Federal buildings which begin the planning process by 2020 to achieve zero-net energy by 2030

Key Goals of Federal GHG Road Test

1. Test and update protocol

– Apply principles in the Corporate Std. to unique structures and

needs of local, state and federal agencies

– Internal operations, not community-wide

– Develop key components of GHG inventory; complete inventory not

required

2. Inform the Public Sector Protocol (PSP) implementation

guidance by gaining critical insight into practical

implementation issues

3. Prepare for short- and long-term policy requirements

4. Build up federal institutional knowledge on GHG accounting

GHG Protocol in Context

• FEDERAL: Federal reporting similar to Annual Energy Report

• NATIONAL: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACESA) – Markey/Waxman

– Stationary sources emitting more than 25k metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year

– Facilities with on-site power plant or landfill must also report emissions

– Emitters must report emissions in 2011 for 2007-2010, and quarterly thereafter

• NATIONAL: EPA Mandatory GHG rulemaking, reporting in 2010

• REGIONAL: e.g. RGGI

• STATE and LOCAL: e.g. California

• GHG REGISTRIES: e.g. Climate Registry

Regional GHG Initiatives

Example: Multiple GHG reporting requirements
