Kansas’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Kansas, specifically in the context of meeting federal air regulations.
Key insights
- Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Kansas to achieve 54% of its carbon pollution reduction goal as established under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
- By 2030, a combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power would allow Kansas to avoid 7 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save more than 7 million MWh of electricity.
- Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide significant environmental and financial gains by 2030, including the avoidance of 58,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 83,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), and total savings of $1 billion for the people of Kansas.
