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
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.
Report
The Biden administration’s recent decision to raise tariffs on imports of electric vehicles and batteries from China raises the question of how the levels of projected domestic EV and battery manufacturing capacity compare to projected demand.

Note
Based on preliminary data for 2021, Rhodium Group estimates that economy-wide GHG emissions increased 6.2% relative to 2020, though emissions remained 5% below 2019 levels.
Note
Rhodium Group provides the most up-to-date global and country-level GHG emissions estimates each year. This year’s update features final emissions estimates from 1990-2019 and preliminary estimates for 2020.
Report
US congressional proposals have focused on two potential policy routes—an economy-wide price on carbon dioxide and a sector-by-sector approach that starts with a clean electricity standard—this report models outcomes for these scenarios.
Report
Meeting the US's 2030 climate goal is achievable if Congress, the executive branch, and subnational leaders all take a series of feasible policy actions.
Note
As Congress works to determine the size and scope of climate and clean energy investments in the budget package, we've assessed the potential emission reductions from some of the items proposed so far.
Note
As Congress considers policy support for hydrogen technologies, it is essential to understand the distinction between how we use hydrogen today and the role of hydrogen in a decarbonized US economy.
Note
As the Biden administration finalizes vehicle GHG standards for MY2023-2026 and lays out a plan for developing mid-term standards through 2030, positioning the US to achieve 100% ZEV sales by 2035 should be the driving objective.
Report
In Taking Stock 2021, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 20-22% below 2005 levels by 2025, and 20-26% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent additional action
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.
