EER Releases US ADP 2023
EER's Annual Decarbonization Perspective 2023 (ADP) is the second in a series of annual updates on long-term deep decarbonization pathways for the United States. It provides detailed technical blueprints for the transition of the U.S. economy to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, including the production and

European ADP 2023
EER was in Brussels last week with Third Way's Carbon-Free Europe program presenting the results of our European Annual Decarbonization Perspective at the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Science. This year's ADP reflected the massive changes Europe has experienced over the past year including record-setting gas

45V Tax Credit: Three-Pillars Impact Analysis
The IRA requires emissions from hydrogen production to be less than 0.45 kg CO2e/kg H2 in order to qualify for the full ($3.0/kg) 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit. This credit is extremely valuable and represents a substantial share of the economic proposition for clean hydrogen

How Big is the IRA Down Payment toward Net Zero?
With last summer's passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the United States took the first real steps at the national level on a pathway to net zero. EER's experience modeling anticipated policy impacts of the legislation (REPEAT Project) as well as our experience modeling deep

Hydrogen Competition in the 2022 ADP
Particularly since the passage of IRA, we've received many questions about the appropriate applications for hydrogen to contribute to decarbonization. Opinions vary widely, with some touting the promise of a 'hydrogen economy' using hydrogen as the principle means of storing, delivering, and consuming energy and others

Annual Decarbonization Perspective (ADP) 2022
This report inaugurates a series of annual updates that aim to move pathways analysis in the U.S. beyond isolated proofs-of-concept towards becoming a practical implementation tool for addressing next-stage challenges in energy and climate change mitigation. These are detailed technical blueprints for the transition to a net-zero economy, including
Carbon-Free Europe
Carbon Free EuropeWe are working to galvanise support across Europe for an ambitious decarbonisation agenda. Nations must have the option to deploy every clean energy technology necessary for the world to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.Carbon Free Europe EER worked with Third Way on launching Carbon-Free

Decarbonizing the Sunshine State
Today, EER releases new analysis for the state of Florida outlining a detailed energy system transition strategy for the state that is compatible with returning atmospheric CO2 concentrations to 350 ppm by 2100. This work was done in partnership with Our Children's Trust, and can be downloaded here.

350 ppm Pathways for the United States
Evolved Energy Research today released 350 ppm Pathways for the United States, its report on decarbonizing the U.S. economy consistent with returning the world’s global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide to 350 ppm (parts per million) by 2100. This report represents a first-of-its-kind attempt to demonstrate the technical
