American Chemistry Council
www.americanchemistry.com
Design innovations and modern materials – the products of chemistry – help Americans be more energy-efficient and save money. Insulation and weatherization materials help keep homes warm or cool, according to the season. Automotive design improvements and new materials are making lighter-weight, more fuel-efficient cars. Refrigerators and other home appliances are also more energy-efficient due to materials – such as those that insulate and seal in cold air – based on chemistry innovations.
Since 1974, the chemical industry itself has reduced its fuel and power energy consumption per unit of output by an outstanding 46 percent. Transforming raw materials into valuable products will always require energy, but the significant and continuing gains in conservation achieved by the chemistry industry have set a new standard for efficiency.
