The primary goal of the Climate VISION partnership is to identify and pursue cost effective options to improve the energy or GHG intensity of industry operations by accelerating the transition to technologies,
practices and processes that are cleaner, more efficient and capable of capturing or sequestering GHGs.

Climate VISION partners have as members some of the largest companies in America, and they represent a broad range of energy-intensive industry sectors—oil and gas, electricity generation, coal and mineral production and mining, manufacturing (automobiles, cement, iron and steel, magnesium, aluminum, chemicals, and semiconductors), and forestry products.

Thirteen of the 14 Climate VISION partners have issued a letter of intent that set out goals-both quantitative and qualitative-for improving the energy efficiency or GHG intensity of its sector that will contribute to meeting the 18 percent intensity goal.
