sustainability

Fermilab earned national recognition for its sustainability efforts, receiving three prestigious awards from the U.S. Department of Energy. The laboratory’s new Integrated Engineering Research Center was celebrated for its environmentally friendly design. The successful transition of 32% of Fermilab’s fleet to zero emission vehicles was also recognized.

DOE announced nearly $150 million in funding for dozens of energy conservation and clean energy projects at federal facilities, including Argonne and Fermilab. The funds will support the Fermilab Resilience and Efficiency Project, an initiative that works toward achieving net-zero facilities at the lab by implementing energy conservation measures across 23 buildings and developing renewable energy generation.
