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 our annually updated outlook for US greenhouse gas emissions under current federal and state policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 38-56% below 2005 levels by 2035, absent any additional new action.
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.

Note
The Department of Energy has announced two direct air capture hubs: the South Texas DAC Hub in Texas and Project Cypress in Louisiana. In this analysis, we quantify the economic and job benefits associated with these two announced DAC hub projects.
Report
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is gaining attention as an important piece of the US decarbonization puzzle. We assess the landscape of different CDR approaches, and policy options to help CDR scale to the level required for decarbonization by 2050.
Note
Achieving the global climate goals of the Paris Agreement will depend on the successful acceleration of policy and innovation to support the wide-scale deployment of low-carbon cement technologies in the regions that matter the most.
Interactive
In a data dashboard, we take a look at what the potential for direct air capture industry scale-up means for individual states and how they might benefit.
Report
Clean energy and transportation investment in the US set another record in Q4 of 2023, reaching $67 billion—a 40% increase from Q4 in 2022.
Note
New analysis from the Clean Investment Monitor compares on-the-ground clean investment progress with projections of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Note
New insights into the evolution of global fossil fuel demand over the coming decades provide a signpost for where additional action is needed.
Note
There’s a long way to go to get on track for US net-zero emissions by 2050. We assess the key sources of remaining emissions in 2030.
Note
After two years of emissions growth, while the country rebounded from the pandemic, we estimate that emissions were down 1.9% year-on-year in 2023.
Note
Setting clear, attainable, predictable eligibility requirements for the 45V tax credit is the first step in getting clean hydrogen off the ground.
