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.
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.
Report
The Biden administration’s recent decision to raise tariffs on imports of electric vehicles and batteries from China raises the question of how the levels of projected domestic EV and battery manufacturing capacity compare to projected demand.

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 29-42% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent any additional new action.
Report
In an article published in Science, Rhodium Group and 16 other organizations provide a multi-model comparison of the greenhouse gas emissions impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Note
In light of passage of the Inflation Reduction Act as well as a host of other recent shifts in the US energy system, we assess whether the US's climate commitment under the Paris Agreement is achievable and what policies could help us get there
Note
The Inflation Reduction Act has kicked off a new phase of decarbonization in the US, but on its own it won't be enough to achieve the US's 2030 climate target. We provide a framework for priorities in the decade ahead.
Note
Based on preliminary data, we estimate that US greenhouse gas emissions increased slightly in 2022, rising 1.3% from 2021 levels.
Note
Rhodium Group provides the most up-to-date global and country-level GHG emissions estimates each year. In 2021, as countries and economies began to recover from the worst of the pandemic, global emissions bounced back—rising 4.6% from 2020 levels.
Report
The Inflation Reduction Act is the single largest action ever taken by Congress and the US government to combat climate change. We provide a detailed assessment of the key energy and emissions impacts of the legislation.
Note
The Inflation Reduction Act has the potential to be the biggest climate action ever taken by Congress. In preliminary analysis, we estimate the IRA will reduce emissions by 31-44% below 2005 levels by 2030.
Report
In our annually updated outlook for US greenhouse gas emissions under current policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 24-35% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent any additional new action.
Note
Based on preliminary data for 2021, Rhodium Group estimates that economy-wide GHG emissions increased 6.2% relative to 2020, though emissions remained 5% below 2019 levels.
