On Earth Day, three weeks from now, the Department of Energy will announce which of its federal installations scored best on the agency’s 2023 Sustainable Climate-Ready Sites program.
Twelve DOE properties, mostly weapons complex sites, signed up for the program put together by DOE’s Office of Sustainable Environmental Stewardship, according to a Friday press release.
The program scores the participating DOE properties on 15 categories ranging from air quality and carbon-free electricity to waste minimization and water management.
Sites in the program are the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, Idaho National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pennsylvania and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado.
Results come out on Earth Day, which is April 21.
