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
Decarbonization in the transportation sector faces three key barriers: cost, namely a “green premium,” a slow pace of stock turnover, and limits on the availability of feedstocks and fuels.

Note
Since peaking in 2004, US emissions have trended downward in a bumpy fashion. But after a significant decline in 2023, we estimate that 2024 emissions were down by just 0.2% year-on-year while the economy grew by 2.7%.
Note
Rolling back executive action on climate could raise average household energy costs, increase dependence on oil and gas imports, drive up GHG emissions, and put substantial levels of private investment at risk.

We assess the workforce development and occupation opportunities from building up the sustainable aviation fuels industry.
Commentary
Rhodium partner Trevor Houser joined the Catalyst podcast to discuss the recently launched Clean Investment Monitor.
Note
Efforts to mitigate emissions have largely focused on CO2. We assess the gap around non-CO2 emissions, in particular methane.
Note
Direct air capture has the potential to play a pivotal role in meeting long-term US decarbonization targets. To achieve scale, the emerging industry will require a large, well-trained workforce.
Note
The US is positioning itself to be a leader in clean hydrogen production thanks to a wave of policy support. We assess potential job opportunities from building up the clean hydrogen industry.
News
Jeffery will help lead the expansion of Rhodium’s research and expertise on US energy systems, climate policy and clean technologies.
Note
Our preliminary estimates for global greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 show a 1.1% increase from 2021, rebounding back above pre-pandemic emissions levels.
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.
