The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides technical assistance, resources, tools, and trainings to help federal agencies identify, procure, and deploy electrification and decarbonization strategies for federal sites, buildings, and fleets.
What Is Decarbonization?
Decarbonization strategies help reduce carbon emissions by:
- Optimizing building energy efficiency
- Eliminating on-site emissions from energy use
- Powering facilities and fleets with carbon pollution-free electricity—generated from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal.

How FEMP Helps
FEMP can help agencies develop a holistic electrification and decarbonization program, including:
- Prioritizing their sites, fleets, buildings, building types, and regions/climate zones for decarbonization
- Identifying their greatest emissions sources
- Learning about innovative technologies and systems that provide high-impact opportunities for decarbonization and electrification
- Exploring options for procuring decarbonization and electrification solutions.
