Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transport Management
Executive
Decree/Order/Ordinance
Passed in 2007
Promotes renewable energy generation projects in federal agencies and determines that each agency should ensure that half of the statutorily required renewable energy consumed in a fiscal year comes from new renewable sources.
Determines that each federal agency should reduce energy intensity by 3% annually until the end of fiscal year 2015 or 30% by the end of fiscal year 2015, relative to energy use in 2003.
Determines that if an agency operates a fleet of at least 20 motor vehicles it must ensure a 10% annual increase in total fuel consumption that is non-petroleum based relative to 2005. Each agency must equally ensure the use of plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles when these are commercially available at a reasonably comparable life-cycle cost to non-PHEV vehicles.
Requires each federal agency to:
- Improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions
- Procure energy from new renewable sources
- Adhere to sustainable environmental practices (i.e. acquisition of bio-based, environ-mentally preferable, energy-efficient, water-efficient and recycled-content products)
- Reduce the fleet's total consumption of petroleum products.
