2GMs Renewable Energy Overview
- Benefits
- Grow renewable energy portfolio on a global basis
to support GM Environmental Principles - All projects must meet economic sustainability
criteria, GM management will only approve
projects that bring economic benefit to GM - Include diversity of Renewable Sources
- Landfill Gas/Biomass
- Solar
- Wind
- Small Hydro
- Strategy
- Demonstrates Environmental Stewardship of GM in a
Sustainable Manner - Reduces energy costs, acts as future hedge
against increased costs or shortages - Provides positive image
- GMs renewable program driven to redefine the
technology and economics of completing renewable
projects - Technology demonstration and project economic
model have benefited others
3GMNA Current Renewable Portfolio
- LFG
- 2nd Largest Corporate User of LFG for Thermal
Energy - Solar
- First public solar power project in US over 1mW,
GM Rancho Cucamonga SPO facility (outside of
govt. private, or research related activities)
July 2006 - Commissioned 2nd roughly 1mW solar installation
at the Fontana SPO facility on 12/17/07 - Commissioned worlds largest solar roof top array
at GMs Zaragoza, Spain Assembly Plant. Total
size of the array is nearly 12mW - Global Expansion
- Reviewing other opportunities globally to expand
the use of solar at GM facilities through the
Global BPD Initiative 04-14

10LEED Certification
GM Opens First-Ever LEED-Gold Certified
Automobile Manufacturing Facility Lansing,
Mich. -- General Motors new Lansing Delta
Township Assembly Plant has received a gold
certification from the U.S. Green Building
Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) program. The building is the only
automotive manufacturing plant in the world as
well as the largest facility and the most complex
manufacturing site -- to ever receive any level
of LEED certification. Over the first ten years
of operations, the facility is expected to save
over 40 million gallons of water and 30 million
kwh of electricity.

Savings will be Achieved during the 12 Months
immediately following completion of each project
16Structural Cost ESPI / CESPI Financials
17Capital ESPI
- Similar to ESPI, except that major components of
these projects are capital - Similar in implementation process-PRM
- Carried in project forecast and WFG project
targets whereas ESPI projects are not as they are
funded from budget
18CESPI-Bedford Melt Project
- Melt initiative focused on improving melting
process inside the fence. - A capital project funded by WFG replaced five
existing furnaces with one modern, flexible,
energy efficient furnace and total savings are
being tracked at 5.3 million per year level. - Since start of the furnace in April 2007, energy
savings are at 2.6 million per year. - Project also achieved a 1.8 million per year
savings in productive materials as the furnace
can use waste aluminum chips as input material.
