Emissions Transparency in Manufacturing: New Rules for Building Materials
This act establishes a program to enhance the transparency of greenhouse gas emissions data in the production of key materials like steel and concrete. This will provide citizens and businesses with access to information on products' environmental impact, potentially influencing purchasing decisions and promoting greener solutions. Companies producing these materials may receive financial assistance to comply with the new requirements.
Key points
A public database of emissions for selected materials (e.g., aluminum, steel, concrete) will be created, making product comparison easier.
Manufacturers of building materials may receive grants to measure and report their emissions.
Uniform rules for calculating emissions will be introduced to ensure data reliability and comparability.
The government will audit emissions data to ensure its credibility.
