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
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.
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
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.

Report
The newly launched Clean Investment Monitor provides comprehensive tracking of all public and private investments in decarbonization technologies in the US.
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.
Note
The IRA includes significant incentives for emerging climate technologies. Using a new modeling framework, we assess the long-term global emissions impact of these incentives.
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
Report
One challenge to transportation decarbonization is the slow stock turnover of vehicles. It is important to understand consumer adoption of ZEVs to inform policy.
Note
For green hydrogen to play a role in a decarbonized future, the US needs to get experience building and installing electrolyzers at an unprecedented scale today in order to establish a domestic industry and drive down costs.
Note
The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in the US has elicited mixed reactions from policymakers in Europe. In new analysis, we unpack the clean energy manufacturing incentives in the legislation and what it means for European industry.
Note
The final version of CEQ's Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool identifies environmentally and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities eligible for federal resources under the Justice40 initiative.
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.
