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 this first edition of the new Global Clean Investment Monitor, we explore how—after decades of national policy support, primarily in the US, China, and Europe—electric vehicles and batteries have been catapulted into mass commercialization.
Note
The budget reconciliation bill passed by the House has important implications for US technology investment, manufacturing, and innovation.
Note
The House Ways and Means Committee's proposed language will raise energy costs for American households by as much as 7% in 2035, stifle energy technology innovation, increase pollution, and could put significant investment at risk.
Report
In the first quarter of 2025, clean energy and transportation investment in the United States totaled $67.3 billion, a 6.9% increase from the same period in 2024 but a 3.8% decrease from the previous quarter.

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.
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.
