Would you like to reduce GHG emissions at your manufacturing facilities? Would you like to understand the key technologies and pathways and learn how to establish milestones for decarbonizing your energy systems and manufacturing processes?
Join us at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and participate in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Plants Program’s Decarbonization Bootcamps on May 6 (Tue) to 8 (Thu) and Nov 4 (Tue) to 6 (Thu) 2025. This 3-day high-interactive workshop with facility tours, has been created to educate attendees on the fundamentals of carbon accounting, renewable energy, and how to establish a strategic approach to decarbonize manufacturing facilities. There will be an optional fourth day on Friday (May 9 and Nov 7) where participants will have the opportunity to tour various facilities at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, including ORNL’s Supercomputer, the Graphite Reactor, and the Building Technology Research and Integration Center. Other facility tours are integrated throughout the agenda.
This decarbonization-focused workshop is targete towards individuals who are relatively new to GHG emissions and are working on pathways to a zero-carbon future. Individuals who should also consider the workshop include sustainability managers and engineers who have been working on decarbonization for some time but are looking for opportunities to brainstorm with colleagues and experts on solutions for their facilities.
Attendees will learn about DOE’s decarbonization software tools. The Bootcamp cover topics including: GHG accounting, renewable energy, low/no-carbon fuels, electrification, carbon capture and storage, and decarbonization roadmap development. Specifically, participants will learn:

Participation at the workshop will be limited to 65 individuals. Because of the limited spots, we can only allow up to 4 participants from each company. All registrants after the limit is reached will be put on the waitlist.
The nearest airport is Knoxville’s Tyson McGee Airport. For lodging, there are multiple hotel options available in the Oak Ridge and West Knoxville (Turkey Creek) areas. Room blocks have been reserved at the Embassy Suites Knoxville West by Hilton. Participants can take an ORNL bus from hotels to the workshop from Tuesday to Thursday and from hotel to airport after the science tour on Friday.
