GM is focusing all of its plants that will build BEVs to have zero net carbon emissions. This means offsetting whatever carbon is emitted with measures taken to absorb carbon back in from the atmosphere.

Factory ZERO highlights include:

* GM reused or recycled almost every material that came out of the facility during conversion, including crushed concrete from the old plant floor, which was repurposed for temporary roads around the facility.

* Storm water will be recycled to reduce discharge costs and offset the cost of potable water.

* Treated storm water will be used in cooling towers and the plant’s fire suppression system.

* The site features a 30-kilowatt solar carport and 516-kW ground-mounted photovoltaic solar array from DTE Energy.

*Factory ZERO’s site has a 16.5-acre wildlife habitat that is home to monarch butterflies, foxes, and turkeys.
