BRUSSELS – Toyota Motor Europe recently announced it reached 100 percent renewable electricity use across all its European operations and facilities in 2019.
WASHINGTON--The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has discovered that electricity use in the U.S. manufacturing sector has declined in recent years, reports DailyEnergyInsider.com. The EIA found, based on data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census Annual Survey of Manufacturers, that many manufacturers generate their own electricity in addition to pulling directly from the electric grid. From 2006 through 2016, the manufacturing sector purchased 87 to 89 percent of their electricity from the grid and generated the remaining 11 to 13 percent on site.
