The Stakes for Energy Costs in Budget Reconciliation
We estimate how much energy costs could rise for households and industry if Congress chooses to roll back and repeal key pollution regulations and energy tax credits.
Research
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.

A Step Closer to a Rollback of Fuel Economy Standards
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
Preliminary US Emissions Estimates for 2019
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.

The Year-End Clean Energy Tax Credit Deal: Swing and a Miss for Climate
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.

An Assessment of the GREEN Act: Implications for Emissions and Clean Energy Deployment
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.
