Energy Systems in Transition in EU and US: Report

The key findings of this report indicate that Installations of wind and solar capacity are gathering speed in the EU and US. A record breaking 33 GW of solar PV will be built in the US in 2024. New wind projects in the EU are also breaking records, growing by about 18% in 2022. Renewables generate more electricity than either coal or nuclear power in both the US and EU. Wind and solar generated enough electricity in 2022 to power about 85% of all households in the EU.

Carbon Emissions Reduction in US: Report

The key findings of this report indicate that the Biden administration’s fossil fuel project approvals are significantly undermining U.S. climate progress. Despite its claims that it’s advancing climate goals, the Biden administration is actively erasing the projected emissions reductions of its flagship Inflation Reduction Act and other demand-side climate policies by expanding fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure projects.

Accelerating US Clean Energy Ambition: Report

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) undertook a modeling analysis of technical pathways for achieving sharp cuts in economy wide, energy-related, heat-trapping emissions in the United States. They optimized the analysis for the lowest energy-system costs to better understand both the challenges and the opportunities that would arise when taking an expansive, interconnected view of energy, the economy, and society. The analysis shows that the United States has viable pathways to get to net-zero heat-trapping emissions no later than 2050.
