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
The industrial sector is on a path to becoming the highest-emitting sector in the US in the early 2030s, pointing to the critical need to rapidly deploy decarbonization solutions if the US is to achieve meaningful economy-wide decarbonization.
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
New insights into the evolution of global fossil fuel demand over the coming decades provide a signpost for where additional action is needed.
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
After two years of emissions growth, while the country rebounded from the pandemic, we estimate that emissions were down 1.9% year-on-year in 2023.
Report
We provide probabilistic projections of the likely evolution of global emissions and temperature rise through the end of the century.
Report
This paper provides what we believe is the first empirical evidence of the US Climate Reciprocity Ratio (CRR).
Note
Efforts to mitigate emissions have largely focused on CO2. We assess the gap around non-CO2 emissions, in particular methane.
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
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.
Report
In an article published in Science, Rhodium Group and 16 other organizations provide a multi-model comparison of the greenhouse gas emissions impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act.
