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
Since the US enacted the IRA, manufacturing has emerged as the fastest-growing segment of investment in clean energy technologies. We assess the state of key clean technology supply chains for solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles.
Note
We estimate how much energy costs could rise for households and industry if Congress chooses to roll back and repeal key pollution regulations and energy tax credits.
Note
Next-generation geothermal energy has a number of advantages in meeting growing electricity demand from data centers. We estimate how much of this demand could potentially be served by geothermal over the next decade.
Note
This note is the third in a series of quarterly briefings comparing clean technology deployment and manufacturing trends in Europe and the United States as part of a collaboration between Bruegel and Rhodium Group.

Report
In Taking Stock 2021, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 20-22% below 2005 levels by 2025, and 20-26% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent additional action
Note
Using our newly updated global emissions data through 2019, we estimate that in 2019, for the first time since national greenhouse gas emissions have been measured, China’s annual emissions exceeded those of all developed countries combined.
Note
As most of the world experienced economic contraction in 2020, China’s industrial-led recovery kept the nation in positive territory. As a result, China is also the only major economy to experience an increase in emissions last year.
Note
Throughout 2020, we've been tracking real-time energy and emissions implications of COVID-19. Based on preliminary economic and energy data, we estimate that this historic shock to economic activity led to a 10.3% drop in US emissions in 2020.
Note
President Trump has made dismantling environmental regulations a priority during his time in office. Rhodium Group has assessed the emissions implications for each of the major rollbacks.
Report
To support efforts to track the impacts of COVID-19 in real time, we're tracking the key drivers of emissions for the world's largest emitters: the United States, the European Union, China, and India.
Report
Rhodium Group is tracking green stimulus spending across the world’s largest emitters—the United States, the European Union, China, and India, which together make up two-thirds of global GDP and over 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Report
In our 2020 annual outlook of US greenhouse gas emissions, we focus solely on the largest source of uncertainty in the current outlook for US emissions: COVID-19’s impact on the economy.
Note
Based on preliminary energy and economic data for 2019, we estimate that China’s greenhouse gas emissions increased by 2.6% last year.
Note
After a sharp uptick in 2018, we estimate that US greenhouse gas emissions fell by 2.1% last year based on preliminary energy and economic data. This decline was due almost entirely to a drop in coal consumption.
