How to effectively decarbonize the US economy by 2035 without forcing Americans to sacrifice their current lifestyles and without having to invent any new technology.
Describes a preliminary analysis that examines the potential impacts of widespread electrification on the U.S. energy sector.
Examines how the US can meet its 2025 emissions target using existing authorities and state action, and how legislation can achieve deeper cuts over the longer term while still growing the economy.
Examining potential scenarios for achieving mid-century decarbonization goals.
Modeled three decarbonization pathways for the state, seeking to reach near 100% carbon free by 2050, by 2040, and by 2030.
Constructed a Carbon Neutral scenario from the “bottom up” by developing a suite of ambitious strategies based on aggressive deployment at plausible penetration rates of technologies and practices.
Engaged nine top energy-environment-economy models to examine the implications of technological improvements and technological availability for reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and 80% by 2050.
Targets a 33% net GHG reduction over 2005 levels by 2030, and provides an overview of how higher shares of renewable energy can be achieved.
Presents roadmaps for each of the 50 United States to convert their all-purpose energy systems (for electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, and industry) to ones powered entirely by wind, water, and sunlight.
Summarizes the latest information on U.S. anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission trends across various sources and sectors from 1990 through 2016.
