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
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is gaining attention as an important piece of the US decarbonization puzzle. We assess the landscape of different CDR approaches, and policy options to help CDR scale to the level required for decarbonization by 2050.
Note
Achieving the global climate goals of the Paris Agreement will depend on the successful acceleration of policy and innovation to support the wide-scale deployment of low-carbon cement technologies in the regions that matter the most.
Report
Clean energy and transportation investment in the US set another record in Q4 of 2023, reaching $67 billion—a 40% increase from Q4 in 2022.
Note
There’s a long way to go to get on track for US net-zero emissions by 2050. We assess the key sources of remaining emissions in 2030.

Note
With the long term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund still in doubt, this note explores the impact of replacing the current federal gasoline tax with an economy-wide tax on carbon dioxide emissions.
Note
Continuing to drive clean energy deployment via the US tax code is a key aspect of many ongoing policy discussions. We've identified five key design elements that are critical to maximizing the decarbonization impact of energy tax credits.
Note
As Washington considers different proposals for investing in transportation infrastructure, we assess the energy system and emissions impacts of potential new, long-term federal investments in on-road decarbonization.
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
How would a potential 50% US NDC stack up with commitments announced by other advanced economies?
Note
In this note, we unpack the carbon capture relevant components of the American Jobs Plan and, where possible, we quantify the potential impact on emissions and jobs.
Report
This report is a state-by-state analysis exploring the economic benefits associated with carbon capture retrofit opportunities at existing industrial and electric power facilities.
Note
One of the primary goals of President Biden's American Jobs Plan is to create millions of new jobs through new federal investments in clean infrastructure. This note focuses on the electric power sector.
Note
As part of its Build Back Better plan, the Biden administration has a goal to get to 100% clean electricity in 2035. We explore ways in which congressional clean energy infrastructure investments can accelerate decarbonization.
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.
