Library Of Congress (Washington, D.C.)—H.R. 2454, Section 274 of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 is the Product Carbon Disclosure Program. This program will, if it becomes law, require the EPA to develop a process whereby manufacturers of products sold in the United States will disclose the amount of carbon emissions emitted during the production of the product. The program will be voluntary for manufacturers, but “…incentives and other means to spur the adoption of product carbon disclosure and product carbon labeling…” will be used by the EPA. The program will help businesses, organizations, and individuals make smart product choices as they work to reduce their own carbon footprint. It will also encourage business to reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process.
