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
The answer to five key questions could have a meaningful, multi-gigaton effect on global emissions.
Report
Given the current state and federal policy landscape and range of potential energy market dynamics on the horizon, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 13% to 16% below 2005 levels by 2020.
Note
For the third year in a row, transportation was the largest source of US emissions. Electricity emissions ticked up after five years of decline.
Note
After three years of decline, US carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rose sharply last year. Based on preliminary power generation, natural gas, and oil consumption data, we estimate emissions increased by 3.4% in 2018.
Report
We find that US emissions under current policy are heading towards 12 to 20% below 2005 levels in 2025, a far cry from the US Paris commitment of a 26-28% reduction.
Note
Energy-related emissions fell by 0.66% last year, half their 2005-2016 average rate. Power sector emissions continued to decline, but emissions from transport, buildings and industry all grew, offsetting half the decline in the power sector.
Note
After three years of decline, Chinese coal demand recovered modestly – up 3.3% year-on-year. Oil demand grew by 4.6% and natural gas by nearly 16% as Beijing stepped up its air pollution control efforts.
Report
Our 2017 “Taking Stock” report includes policy changes under the Trump Administration, new U.S. EPA GHG inventory estimates, and energy market and technology developments over the past year.
Note
In this report we update our Taking Stock analysis to include recent energy market developments and the impact of President Trump's executive order rolling back many of the Obama administration's climate policies.
Report
This report quantifies the impact of all current and proposed federal policies on future greenhouse gas emissions to assess whether the US is on track to meet its climate targets.
