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.
Governments and businesses around the world are making commitments to achieve net-zero emissions in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, but on-the-ground action is lagging. Rhodium’s Energy & Climate practice helps public and private decision-makers understand what kind of climate future we are on track for, and what matters most for reducing greenhouse gas emissions—at the state, national, and international levels.
By combining policy expertise with a suite of detailed energy-economic models, our research provides unique, data-driven insights into the impacts of energy and climate change policy and real-world developments on greenhouse gas emissions, energy markets, economic output, and clean technology pathways.
Report
In our annually updated outlook for US greenhouse gas emissions under current federal and state policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 38-56% below 2005 levels by 2035, absent any additional new action.
Note
This note marks the start of a new collaboration between Bruegel and Rhodium Group to compare clean technology deployment and manufacturing trends in Europe and the United States.
Note
EPA recently finalized new standards for regulating greenhouse gases from power plants. We analyze what the new rules mean for electric power GHG and conventional pollutant emissions into the next decade.
Note
As countries rachet up climate policies to keep the Paris Agreement goals within reach, the role of trade instruments in decarbonization strategies has been brought back into the limelight.
Report
Clean energy and transportation investment in the United States continued its record-setting growth in Q1 of 2024, reaching a new high of $71 billion.
Report
The Biden administration’s recent decision to raise tariffs on imports of electric vehicles and batteries from China raises the question of how the levels of projected domestic EV and battery manufacturing capacity compare to projected demand.
Note
From a decarbonization perspective, tax guidance on the technology-neutral 45Y and 48E tax credits for clean electricity may be the single most important Inflation Reduction Act implementation action the IRS will take.
Note
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides funding for seven clean hydrogen hubs across the country. In this analysis, we quantify the economic and job benefits associated with four of these hubs.
Trustworthy, integrative data is at the core of Rhodium’s research and services. Our team uses a suite of custom-built datasets and energy-economic models to analyze the effects of policy and market developments on energy systems and greenhouse gas emissions at the international, US, and state levels.
The ClimateDeck—a partnership of Rhodium Group and Breakthrough Energy—provides global and US 50-state greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory data and projections, energy market outlooks, and analysis of energy and climate policy developments.
The Clean Investment Monitor, a joint project with MIT’s Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, tracks public and private investments in the full landscape of climate technologies in the United States.
The Climate Impact Lab combines climate science, econometrics, and big data analytics to advance understanding of the real-world social impacts and economic costs of climate change.
