Industrial Committee

NASEO’s Industrial Committee researches, analyzes, and informs members and the Board of Directors about industrial efficiency and sustainability issues. The work of the committee focuses on partnering with industry, the U.S. Department of Energy, and others to assist in making industry more energy efficient and thus more competitive—retaining and growing jobs in the states. The industrial areas of interest range from mining to forestry to manufacturing to services.

Industrial Programs State Activities

Industry is the largest and most diverse energy-consuming sector in the country. Improvements in industrial energy efficiency, and use of clean, renewable energy improve the productivity and competitiveness of America’s vital manufacturing sector, spurring economic development and job creation while ensuring a cleaner environment and greater energy independence. Through the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP), NASEO is working with DOE and State Energy Offices to help industry use energy more efficiently. Currently, State Energy Office administered or supported programs include energy assessment and audit support, training, technical assistance, grants, loan programs, retooling, and technology demonstration.
