Does the World Free Ride on US Pledges to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions? Evidence from the Paris Climate Agreement
This paper provides what we believe is the first empirical evidence of the US Climate Reciprocity Ratio (CRR).
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.

Going Beyond Carbon: Closing the Non-CO2 Ambition Gap
Efforts to mitigate emissions have largely focused on CO2. We assess the gap around non-CO2 emissions, in particular methane.

Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions: 1990-2021 and Preliminary 2022 Estimates
Our preliminary estimates for global greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 show a 1.1% increase from 2021, rebounding back above pre-pandemic emissions levels.

Taking Stock 2023: US Emissions Projections after the Inflation Reduction Act
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.

Emissions and Energy Impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act | Science
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.

Pathways to Paris: Post-IRA Policy Action to Drive US Decarbonization
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
US Decarbonization Priorities in the Wake of the Inflation Reduction Act
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
Preliminary US Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimates for 2022
Based on preliminary data, we estimate that US greenhouse gas emissions increased slightly in 2022, rising 1.3% from 2021 levels.
Note
Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions: 1990-2020 and Preliminary 2021 Estimates
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.

A Turning Point for US Climate Progress: Assessing the Climate and Clean Energy Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act
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.
