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
Decarbonization
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
Policy Impacts
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
Policy Impacts
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
