Description
Identification of mechanisms for encouraging our prime contractors to accept the defined goals and to flow them down through their supply chain. Find mechanisms for collaboration - with contractors, with other Government agencies.

Challenges
•New Executive Order
NASA will have to report Scope 3 emissions:
•includes emissions from NASA’s supply chain
•Department of Energy will provide guidance on methodology
•National Science Board recommendation*:
Provide a leading example by adopting sustainable energy
measures and analyses throughout the U.S. Government
• Encourage all Federal agencies to become exemplars for deploying
sustainable energy technologies. These practices should be adopted
throughout the U.S. Government supply chain.

NASA Industrial Base Sustainability Issues
• Definition of quantitative indicators to determine a baseline and measure progress
towards goals – DoE guidance
– Meaningful
– Summable
– Readily available data
• No / minimal impact
• Existing data
• Defining boundaries and a baseline (2008 per EO)
• Definition and quantification of sustainability goals (e.g. energy use reduction, GHG
reduction, water use reduction)
• Defining success (e.g. X% reduction from baseline on defined schedule)
• Allocation of goals into the supply chain and integration of supply chain contributions to
achievement of goals
• Tracking benefits to the bottom line

Going Forward
• Identification of mechanisms for encouraging our prime contractors to accept the
defined goals and to flow them down through their supply chain
• Determine best approach to have most effective influence
– Work through procurement process?
– Invoke new standards for energy management?
• Find mechanisms for collaboration – with contractors, with other Government agencies
• Provide assistance in achieving the defined goals – information, coordination, other
resources
• Development of manufacturing technologies with reduced footprint

Electron Beam
Freeform Fabrication (EBF
3)
Technology
• Rapid metal fabrication process
– Use as?built or with small amount of final machining
– Material properties equivalent to wrought products
• “Green”
manufacturing
– Minimal waste products, low consumables
– Efficient use of energy and feedstock
• Buy?to?fly ratios
– Conventional fabrication by machining –
20:1
– EBF3 additive manufacturing – 2:1
