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.
Report
In this first edition of the new Global Clean Investment Monitor, we explore how—after decades of national policy support, primarily in the US, China, and Europe—electric vehicles and batteries have been catapulted into mass commercialization.
Note
The budget reconciliation bill passed by the House has important implications for US technology investment, manufacturing, and innovation.
Note
The House Ways and Means Committee's proposed language will raise energy costs for American households by as much as 7% in 2035, stifle energy technology innovation, increase pollution, and could put significant investment at risk.
Report
In the first quarter of 2025, clean energy and transportation investment in the United States totaled $67.3 billion, a 6.9% increase from the same period in 2024 but a 3.8% decrease from the previous quarter.

Note
Prime Minister Modi is using the political opportunity created by the pandemic to push through stalled reforms of the energy sector.
Note
The social cost of carbon (SCC)—the cost to society from each ton of carbon dioxide emitted—is an essential tool for incorporating the cost of climate change into cost-benefit analyses for policy and other decision-making.
Report
In our 2020 annual outlook of US greenhouse gas emissions, we focus solely on the largest source of uncertainty in the current outlook for US emissions: COVID-19’s impact on the economy.
Note
As Congress turns its attention towards legislation to stimulate a robust economic recovery, there is an opportunity to do so in a way that both creates jobs and addresses longstanding environmental injustices.
Report
In the US, meeting the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 will require large-scale removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. The scale-up of direct air capture (DAC) technology could create significant employment and business opportunities.
Note
Based on preliminary energy and economic data for 2019, we estimate that China’s greenhouse gas emissions increased by 2.6% last year.
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.
