Toyota Summary
Buildings
  • Toyota’s 624,000 square foot headquarters expansion in California includes buildings that are LEED-certified and expected to exceed state energy-efficiency standards by 20 percent. 
  • Toyota’s North American Production Support Center, a regional training facility in Kentucky, is certified as LEED silver. 
  • Toyota’s 14-acre Pat Lobb Dealership in Texas is the first LEED silver certified dealership, and uses energy-saving glass and a special white roof system to reduce energy consumed for cooling needs.
  • Since 2003, Canadian Autoparts Toyota Inc. (CAPTIN) has saved $110,000 in annual costs through proactive energy management including measures such as: retrofitting office and plant lighting; installing of occupancy sensors; connecting HVAC units and the plant’s lighting system to an expanded control system, and optimizing the compressed air system.
Internal
  • Toyota developed a five-year Action Plan in 2006 to reduce total energy use in North American manufacturing operations by 27 percent per vehicle produced (to 6.3 million BTU/vehicle produced) – using the 2002 baseline.
  • Toyota’s pilot energy reduction projects must have a payback of less than three years and must be replicable at other plants. One example is a project at Toyota’s Cambridge Ontario plant that uses waste heat from its air compressor unit to preheat city water before it is processed by reverse osmosis. This is expected to reduce electricity and natural gas consumption by 5,000 million BTU per year and six million gallons of water annually.

Products & Services
  • Toyota’s 2007 model year fleet exceeded CAFE for both cars and trucks. Toyota estimates that in the past 10 years its vehicles sold in U.S. will consume 11 billion fewer gallons of gas (and emit over 100 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide) than if Toyota had merely met CAFE standards.
  • Toyota introduced the world’s first mass-produced hybrid (Prius) in 1997, with worldwide sales reaching 1 million vehicles in 2007. 
  • Toyota is working to make Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles commercially viable.
Supply
  • Toyota created a usage database that is updated monthly to reduce energy use from its sales and distribution network. Toyota has reduced total energy consumption by 11 percent in its sales and distribution network since 2000.

Weyerhaeuser Summary
Internal
  • Weyerhaeuser’s goal is to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 2000 levels by 2020. Energy efficiency is a key element of Weyerhaeuser’s strategy to meet this goal.
  • In 2009, it met 74 percent of its operations' energy needs through the use of renewable and carbon-neutral biomass fuels such as wood residuals and other organic byproducts.
  • It sequestered approximately 5.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in our forests and products in 2009. In sum, during 2009 it sequestered greater than three times more carbon dioxide than it directly emitted and accrued by green tag trades, effectively removing approximately 4.0 million metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Success
  • In 2009, Weyerhaeuser achieved more than 4,000,000 kWh in sustainable electrical usage reduction via compressed air and lighting best practices, which reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 726 metric tons.
  • In 2009, it reduced power purchases by more than 32,000,000 kWh via process systems retrofits, which reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 6,500 metric tons.
  • Direct emissions in 2009 were 1.7 million metric tons, which was 270,000 metric tons less than in 2000, its base year. This is a decrease of 13 percent.
