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.

The Biggest Climate Rollback Yet?

In the context of the global effort to address climate change, our analysis finds the Trump administration's proposal would be a pretty meaningful setback.

Taking Stock 2018

We find that US emissions under current policy are heading towards 12 to 20% below 2005 levels in 2025, a far cry from the US Paris commitment of a 26-28% reduction.

The Footprint of US Carbon Pricing Plans

While carbon pricing is gaining new momentum within a growing number of states, prices apply to only a fraction of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and prices are relatively low.

Sizing Up a Potential Fuel Economy Standards Freeze

The footprint-based system of CAFE standards gives automakers flexibility to comply, even when gas is cheap and drivers opt for less efficient cars. But low oil prices make the standards themselves more important as a driver of fuel economy gains.
