Pilot Project To Calculate the Emissions Intensity of Certain Industrial Products |
|
|
As the market for clean manufacturing grows, the United States, trading partners, manufacturers, and consumers need a fair, coherent system for measuring the greenhouse gas intensity of energy-intensive industrial products. This approach will bolster U.S. climate goals by helping to track and propel progress in cutting industrial emissions while supporting the competitiveness of clean manufacturing.
To that end, the White House Task Force on Climate, Trade, and Industrial Competitiveness seeks to develop intensity measurement tools and approaches for select industrial products. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will support this work by combining data from existing sources to help build rigorous, timely, and accurate statistics of certain energy-intensive industrial products, starting with U.S. production.
DOE is currently deploying the largest investment in industrial decarbonization in U.S. history, with over $20 billion in funding from federal and private cost shares. This investment is expected to avoid millions of tons of emissions annually and lead to tens of thousands of new jobs.

The White House Task Force on Climate, Trade, and Industrial Competitiveness and DOE will engage with:
- Congress
- A wide range of industry, labor, environmental, and academic stakeholders
- Trade partners
- Others to inform the development of accurate, coordinated greenhouse gas intensity statistics.
