Frederick County’s Office of Sustainability and Environmental Resources (OSER) completed a baseline Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for 2007. This inventory addressed emissions attributed to County Government operations as well as the community-at-large.
In 2015, OSER was selected from more than 30 applications, and awarded the Climate and Energy Leadership award for the Green Homes Challenge Program by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG). The award recognizes outstanding efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, and encourage local actions to advance the regional climate and energy goals established by leaders at MWCOG.
