A Congressional Climate Breakthrough
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.
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.

China’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Exceeded the Developed World for the First Time in 2019
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
Preliminary 2020 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimates for China
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
Preliminary US Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimates for 2020
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.
