Rhodium Group’s Energy & Climate practice uses a multidisciplinary, data-driven approach to produce unique, independent insights into global energy dynamics, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change.
We help 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 local, state, national, and international levels. By combining policy expertise with a suite of detailed energy-economic models, our research provides 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.
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
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
The Trump administration's fuel economy rule is expected to require automakers to increase average fuel efficiency by 1.5% annually from 2021 to 2026, a rollback of the Obama-era standards.
Note
After a sharp uptick in 2018, we estimate that US greenhouse gas emissions fell by 2.1% last year based on preliminary energy and economic data. This decline was due almost entirely to a drop in coal consumption.
Note
While Congress had the chance to make some meaningful progress, the final tax credit package came up short of its potential. In this note, we review what made the cut, what didn’t, and where we go from here.
Note
The GREEN Act proposes to extend several tax credits for clean energy deployment and expand several others. We quantify the combined impact of most major provisions of the proposal on both technology deployment and GHG emissions, through 2030.
Report
The answer to five key questions could have a meaningful, multi-gigaton effect on global emissions.
Report
The Trump administration has argued that retiring coal and nuclear plants pose a threat to electric power system reliability and to the security of the nation. This two-part series of independent research assesses the threat.
Report
With carbon taxes gaining attention on Capitol Hill, this study assesses the potential energy, environmental and economic impacts of the proposal with the most co-sponsors.
Report
Changes in the climate since the 1980s have put a growing share of New Jersey’s coastal communities at risk.
Note
We looked at the past ten years of outage data to see just how significant Northern California electric shut-offs are in the context of power cuts caused by extreme weather and general utility operations.
Note
Revoking California’s waiver will impact the state's ability to meet air quality and climate targets and the US’s ability to stay within striking distance of GHG reductions needed to limit global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
