General Motors (GM) is making progress toward its aggressive sustainability goals to use some 125 megawatts of renewable energy annually within its energy portfolio by 2020.
16 megawatts (12% of the goal) is being generated at one GM facility: the Hamtramck, Michigan. Piped steam from waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, owned by Detroit Renewable Power (DRP), is being used to power heating and cooling systems in the GM plant as well as for some process operations. This energy, produced from renewable municipal solid waste (MSW), is helping GM achieve the goal and act sustainability !
