Starting in 2002, in an effort to curtail carbon emissions, Seattle began to receive a portion of its power from Stateline Wind Energy Center. An endeavor which has been labeled the "Stateline Wind Project" generates electricity from wind. The Seattle City Light Energy Management Services now has 175 megawatts of wind generating capacity due to the project, which will produce 54 megawatts per year. In addition to this, a biodiesel program was implemented in 2004. Biodiesel creates less greenhouse gas emission than standard petroleum.
