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
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 38-56% below 2005 levels by 2035, absent any additional new action.
Note
This note marks the start of a new collaboration between Bruegel and Rhodium Group to compare clean technology deployment and manufacturing trends in Europe and the United States.
Note
EPA recently finalized new standards for regulating greenhouse gases from power plants. We analyze what the new rules mean for electric power GHG and conventional pollutant emissions into the next decade.
Note
As countries rachet up climate policies to keep the Paris Agreement goals within reach, the role of trade instruments in decarbonization strategies has been brought back into the limelight.

Note
Based on preliminary data, we estimate that US greenhouse gas emissions increased slightly in 2022, rising 1.3% from 2021 levels.
Note
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.
Report
Sustainable aviation fuels are a promising avenue for decarbonizing aviation, but unlocking this potential will require significant new investment and long-term policy frameworks to jump-start the infant industry.
Note
With Russian gas supplies reaching record lows, and natural gas prices reaching record highs, Europe is bracing for a very hard winter. We provide an overview of the role of natural gas in European industry and recommendations.
Report
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.
Note
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.
Report
In our annually updated outlook for US greenhouse gas emissions under current policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 24-35% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent any additional new action.
Note
In West Virginia v. EPA, the US Supreme Court constrained one of the most powerful regulatory tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In light of the ruling, does the US still have the ability to achieve its 2030 climate target?
Note
It’s been nearly a year and a half since President Biden entered office and made addressing climate change one of his administration’s top priorities. In this note, we assess the current status of federal climate legislation.
Note
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought into stark relief the national security consequences of European reliance on Russian natural gas and global reliance on Russian oil. We outline policy options available.
