Taking Stock 2019
Given the current state and federal policy landscape and range of potential energy market dynamics on the horizon, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 13% to 16% below 2005 levels by 2020.
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.

Clear, Present and Underpriced: The Physical Risks of Climate Change
We partnered with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, in conducting a physical climate risk assessment for their US municipal bond, commercial real estate, and electrical utility holdings.
Note
Preliminary US Emissions Estimates for 2018
After three years of decline, US carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose sharply last year. Based on preliminary power generation, natural gas, and oil consumption data, we estimate emissions increased by 3.4% in 2018.

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.
