However, it has shared information regarding the carbon intensity of electricity used in various contexts, such as a carbon intensity of 0.7 kg CO2e per kWh for electricity in the central Great Plains in 2021, 0.373 kg CO2e per kWh for GHG emissions intensity of electricity production in 2020, and 0.48 kg CO2e per kWh for the average carbon intensity of electricity used for Bitcoin mining in 2018. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments, the White House is actively engaged in climate initiatives, as indicated by its participation in the Climate Pledge and other sustainability efforts. However, no specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives have been outlined. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the White House operates independently in its climate reporting.
