Illustrates pathways to achieve an 80 percent economy-wide emission reduction by 2050.
Indicating that climate change mitigation could be economically beneficial, adding more than a million jobs by 2030 and up to 2 million jobs by 2050.
A detailed road map for achieving the Northeast’s goal of reducing GHG emissions 80% or more below 1990 levels by 2050, focusing on coordination between the Northeastern U.S. and Québec, including development of Québec’s hydro and/or wind resources.
Includes the design and evaluation of multiple deep decarbonization pathway scenarios, which each include alternative emission reduction strategies and technologies.
Featuring scenarios that explore the potential pace at which emission reductions can be achieved as well as the mix of technologies and practices deployed.
Offers a whole economy plan from 2015 and 2050, projecting costs of just 1 percent more than current U.S. energy costs, and benefits 7 times greater than these costs.
Develops an energy, economic and infrastructure planning model that compares energy scenarios through 2050.
Evaluates the infrastructure and technology changes required to reduce U.S. GHG emissions in the year 2050 by 80% below 1990 levels.
