(Bloomberg) -- For a group that champions fossil fuels, the American Petroleum Institute has chosen a pretty green place to live.
The industry association said Tuesday it's moving into a new eco-friendly headquarters with a green roof and designated parking for fuel-efficient vehicles and bicycles. The LEED-certified building in downtown Washington also has a grey-water irrigation system, a centralized system to collect and store recyclables and an “EchoChimney” to keep the building's emissions clean, according to API, which lobbies on behalf of oil drillers, refiners and other contributors to climate change.
“Our new home will be state-of-the-art in green and other technologies, and it will reflect our members' efforts to innovate, improve the environment, and reduce emissions,” Chief Executive Officer Jack Gerard said in a statement. API's members include Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhillips, according to its website.
