• From 1995 to 2005, Dow reduced its energy intensity (BTU per pound of product) by 22%, resulting in energy saving of 900 trillion BTUs, which is enough to power eight million US homes for a year.

• Dow reduced its absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions since 1990 to a level that exceeds Kyoto targets. Overall, emissions of Kyoto GHGs were reduced by over 20% during this time period.

• GHG emission reductions achieved through the use of Dow products more than offset the GHGs produced during the manufacture of those products. For example, Dow Automotives solutions reduce vehicle weight thus improving fuel economy. Products from Dow Building Solutions save energy. One square foot of one-inch-thick STYROFOAM can save one ton of CO2 emissions over the average life of a house.

• Dow is a recognized leader in providing materials to the photovoltaic's industry. This technology show great promise in efficiently harnessing a source of renewable energy to solve long-term energy needs of society.
