Does Millipore use renewable energy for its factories?

Yes. In 2008, we purchased approximately 11,000 MWh of Green-e renewable energy certificates (REC) generated from the Judith Gap Wind Facility in Harlowton, Montana. This energy matches total 2007 usage from our facilities in Danvers, Massachusetts, Temecula and Anderson, California, St. Charles, Missouri, and a portion of our headquarters in Billerica, Massachusetts. This equates to about 10% of our energy usage worldwide. A small portion of the electricity we use is generated from renewable energy. This is higher for sites in New Hampshire and California, due to the mix of where those states get their power. We are interested in adding more renewable energy to our overall mix.
