Energy & Climate
Rhodium Group’s Energy & Climate practice analyzes the effects of policy and market developments on greenhouse gas emissions and energy systems, and provides actionable information about the impacts of climate change.
Our work has been used by decision-makers in the government, non-profit, and corporate sectors since 2008. See why.
AboutNote
We estimate that global GHG emissions rose in 2023 by 1.2% over the previous year, reaching 51.8 gigatons of CO2-equivalent on net. This follows a 1.0% increase in 2022 as countries recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions of 2020.
Report
Clean energy and transportation investment in the United States continued its record-setting growth in Q3 of 2024, reaching a new high of $71 billion.
Note
We set a foundation for 2035 expectations for G20 economies by comparing projected emissions under today’s baseline with prospective reductions that would be required to stay on a straight-line path from their 2030 NDCs to their mid-century targets.

Note
This note is the second in a series of quarterly briefings comparing clean technology deployment and manufacturing trends in Europe and the United States as part of a collaboration between Bruegel and Rhodium Group.
Note
Over the past seven years, the US and Japan have diversified their trade, sourcing, and investment away from China. The European Union hasn't, despite having derisking policies in place. We explain why.
Report
We examine three G20 case countries—Brazil, South Korea, and Indonesia—and their likely responses to both US and Chinese economic statecraft in an escalation of tensions over Taiwan.
Note
EU investments in China are being driven by Germany and its carmakers, deepening their dependency on the Chinese market while Berlin and Brussels pursue economic de-risking policies.
Report
Compared to its own 2010 baseline, China has improved. However, further progress has been elusive, and our indicators suggest China has hit limits on convergence with the OECD. This gap will likely remain in the coming years.
We are independent and objective, data-driven and cross-cutting, and focused on what matters most.
