Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Sustainable biomass and energy program:eesi educates policymakers about the potential economic development, energy security and environmental benefits of sustainably tapping the country's abundant biomass resources as one option for reducing oil dependence. Eesi has demonstrated leadership in providing policymaker education and working with diverse groups of stakeholders to explore policy options and develop innovative solutions on the role of sustainable biomass and agriculture-based energy production in a thriving, low-carbon economy.

Activity 3

Transportation and sustainable communities program: the goal of the transportation and sustainable communities program is to protect our environment, reduce petroleum use, cut greenhouse gas emissions, enhance public health, and make our communities more livable and accessible. We do so by advancing transportation policies such as more efficient, cleaner vehicles and fuels, public transport, biking, walking, and other energy-efficient modes of transportation. Eesi also emphasizes the role of energy and transportation in sustainable communities. Eesi's community energy work aims to help communities make greater use of local renewable energy resources and to embrace energy efficiency. The initiative is focused on strategies that allow multiple households and businesses to collectively develop, own, or otherwise share the costs and benefits of local energy. Eesi is working to advance policies that promote community energy solutions and to disseminate the lessons learned from cities, towns, and regions that are pioneering community-oriented approaches to meeting local energy needs.
