Overview
This project will inform U.S. and international decision makers and stakeholders about how much U.S. climate policy action can achieve with regard to greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and what additional actions may be required to drive deployment of key technologies to achieve deep decarbonization by midcentury. Rhodium will conduct two analyses for public distribution: the first will quantify the combined impact of spending, regulations, and state actions on net U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and the second will identify priority areas of policy development after 2021.

Grants to this Grantee
for China’s low-carbon transition
This grant is to support Rhodium Group to strengthen economic analysis of China’s low-carbon transition. Given the low-carbon agenda’s dominant role in China’s political space, and China’s pivotal point during the current economic slowdown, Rhodium Group will use this grant to continue a multiyear initiative to reconcile a conventional growth policy, necessary for the transition to China’s low-carbon economy future. (Substrategy: China National Policy)
for research on the impacts of carbon capture and hydrogen on air pollution from electric power generation
Rhodium Group will conduct new research to assess plant-level and system-wide impacts of carbon capture and clean hydrogen on conventional pollutant emissions. As part of this research, Rhodium will engage stakeholders in key communities, including environmental justice organizations, and will release findings in public reports. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
for accelerating the European energy transition
Rhodium Group will provide objective research and analysis to inform the public debate about policies, in both Europe and the U.S., that seek to reduce European reliance on natural gas imports while meeting climate change goals. (Substrategy: Electrification)
