WASHINGTON, Feb 15 – The White House on Tuesday will announce a new team that will promote the use of affordable building materials as it works to accelerate U.S. procurement.
President Biden unveiled a new plan today to use the organization’s funds as a benefit to encourage the manufacturing industry to reduce emissions. This effort includes plans to expand the clean hydrogen market and improve regulations regarding carbon capture technology.
In total, Biden’s new Buy Clean Task Force is designed to spend $ 650 billion on annual purchases by the federal government to support low-carbon goods.
It would recommend measures to improve the organization’s clean building materials procurement and identify materials, such as steel and concrete, and pollutants prioritized in federal government procurement. The industrial plant accounts for about a third of, according to the White House.
“Until this administration, I think people were calling the industrial sector a difficult thing to end, and it was not the beginning of negotiations; it ended the conversation,” a senior official told reporters. But the official said the new systems made it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in production.
“If you look at steel, cement, and aluminum, the real opportunity to remove carbon from those sectors comes from using technology that has never been available in this sector before,” the official said.
To postpone that process, Biden wants a more cohesive coalition government – and even the most significant carbon polluters – to consider green when it comes to buying. The vision is to encourage innovations in the manufacturing sector by prioritizing low carbon production in the American industry.
Among the agencies identified by the White House are: Departments of Defense, Energy and Transport; EPA; General Performance Management; and the White Office for Administration and Budget.
The push is designed to maximize the “low carbon and aluminum emissions we need in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels, as well as the clean concrete we need to improve our transportation infrastructure.”
For example, DOE plans to spend nearly $ 10 billion on new use information applications to improve clean hydrogen – using purchased funds as part of a $ 1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure agreement signed by Biden last year.
That includes $ 8 billion “regional hydrogen purity.” Hydrogen is not widely used in the industrial sector but can convert natural gas and coal as a fuel source. Hubs are designed to drive the extra reliability of pure hydrogen as an energy source in the industrial, manufacturing, processing, delivery, and storage of hydrogen.
DOE will also spend $ 1 billion on hydrogen electrolysis – where electricity separates water into hydrogen and oxygen based on renewable or nuclear energy. Most of the hydrogen currently used depends on fossil fuels for production.
Another $ 500 million will support hydrogen research and development and build the home chain needed to expand the industry. In addition, the White Environmental Management Council plans to issue a new guideline for the carbon offset industry and land grabbing.
Carbon Capture is used in fossil fuel projects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the chemical industry. The move comes after President Joe Biden said the government, which buys goods and services worth more than $ 650 billion each year, plans to reduce its emissions by 65% by 2030, in a plan to eliminate zero by 2050.
Construction is an essential source of C02 emitted worldwide. The main ingredient in concrete, Cement production accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions by 2019, estimates International Energy Agency estimates.
Several “Buy Clean Task Force” structures are being set up to help “create markets for low-carbon products,” the Council on Environmental Quality and White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy, a senior official told reporters.
In his December executive order, Biden said the government, as the nation’s “single largest landowner, energy consumer, and employer,” can transform “how we build, buy and manage electricity, vehicles, buildings and other operations to be clean and sustainable.
This month, the Postal Service (USPS) reconsidered its plans to buy a multi-billion-dollar car network, especially petrol vehicles. The organization said it had no plans to buy more EVs without additional government funding. It also aims to end the government’s purchase of gas-powered cars by 2035. White House urges the U.S.
