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
We estimate the fiscal year 2025 budget reconciliation legislation will increase national average household energy bills by $78-192 and increase total industrial energy expenditures by $7-11 billion in 2035.
Report
In this first edition of the new Global Clean Investment Monitor, we explore how—after decades of national policy support, primarily in the US, China, and Europe—electric vehicles and batteries have been catapulted into mass commercialization.
Note
The budget reconciliation bill passed by the House has important implications for US technology investment, manufacturing, and innovation.
Note
The House Ways and Means Committee's proposed language will raise energy costs for American households by as much as 7% in 2035, stifle energy technology innovation, increase pollution, and could put significant investment at risk.

Note
Greenhouse gas emissions fell twice as fast in Europe in 2011 than in the US. But it was the US that outperformed in 2012. We analyze recent GHG emission developments in the US and EU and discuss the outlook for the coming year.
Note
China’s 12th Five Year Plan includes a bevy of energy targets Beijing hopes to achieve between 2011 and 2015.
Note
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Obama welcomed the environmental benefits of low-cost natural gas, noting that US CO2 emissions have declined sharply over the past four years. Indeed, coal’s share of US electricity generation fell to 33% in April 2012, the lowest level seen in decades, thanks in large part to cheap natural gas, and US CO2 emissions in the first half of 2012 were 13% below 2005 levels. But as gas prices have risen in recent months, so has demand for coal for power generation. Absent new policy, the recent drop in emissions has likely run its course.
Note
Trade data on how Tehran fared under the first year of international sanctions aimed at choking off the country’s crude oil exports is now available. We offer a roundup of Iranian oil exports in 2012 and discuss the outlook for the year ahead.
Report
RHG assesses the economic, environmental and security implications of the Alliance to Save Energy's goal of doubling US energy productivity by 2030, adopted by President Obama in his State of the Union Address.
Note
Today the International Energy Agency (IEA) released their 2012 World Energy Outlook. One of the most striking changes from the 2011 edition is the outlook for American oil production.
Note
Over the coming week, Western sanctions on Iranian oil exports formally take effect.
Note
In January of this year US emissions came in 13% below 2005 levels, and power sector emissions were down by more than 17% – achieving the 2020 target eight years early.
