Our Environmental Commitment
Climate change is one of the most widely-discussed topics in our society. While we all realize there are no easy answers, one thing is certain. The time for debating whether or not to act is over.
DTE Energy is keenly aware that the energy we produce impacts the environment. Our approach to environmental management focuses on making smart choices to minimize these impacts – on the world around us as well as on our customers.
Our environmental commitment takes many forms, from investing in emission control equipment at our plants to fostering renewable energy forms and helping to write effective policies and legislation. We’re working hard toward a cleaner, greener future – but we’re doing it with our customers in mind. We know our strategy is working.
During the last 30 years, the company has reduced its particular emissions 87 percent, sulfur dioxide emissions 63 percent and nitrogen oxide emissions 59 percent. At the same time, we increased generation 46 percent to meet the energy demands of southeast Michigan.
Armed with this proven progress, we are moving forward on a path paved with ingenuity, hard work and a genuine desire to create a better tomorrow for our children – and theirs.
