The U.S. and international research community consistently find that energy efficiency, clean electricity and electrification are essential and urgent “pillars” of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, additional mitigation strategies are required to bridge the gap to net-zero GHG emissions by mid-century. In March 2022, EER published Carbon Management
EER worked with Third Way on launching Carbon-Free Europe, a new research initiative to inform communities, individuals, and policymakers about the necessary technologies and policies for a net-zero future. In this initial phase, EER detailed five European decarbonization pathways that could meet or exceed the 2030 ambition of Europe'

The EER team has released a white paper to advance understanding of carbon management's role in energy and industry to facilitate the U.S. achieving net-zero GHG emissions by mid-century. The analysis underpinning the white paper features state-of-art modeling of a net-zero U.S. energy system and incorporates

The team at EER published a new paper today in the journal AGU Advances titled "Carbon‐Neutral Pathways for the United States." The work features the state-of-the-art in economy-wide, bottom-up, energy modeling with high temporal fidelity and encapsulates our learning from the several dozen decarbonization studies we have

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

The Environmental Law Institute is publishing Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States (Michael B. Gerrard & John C. Dernbach eds.). The book is a playbook of state, local, federal, and private legal pathways for enabling the United States to address climate change and builds upon the U.

Electricity systems sit at the hub of decarbonization pathways and two broadly recognized strategies, electrification and increases in renewable generation, have far reaching consequences for electricity markets. A new article "Electrification and the Future of Electricity Markets" published in IEEE Power & Energy Magazine written by the Evolved

The Future of Energy Global Summit, New York – Evolved Energy Research is a partner on a new report released today in collaboration with the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and Hydro-Québec on meeting 2050 carbon emissions targets in New York and New England and the value of greater cross-border
In the Field
We recently spoke at Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Integrated Resource Planning Roundtable about our ongoing Decarbonization Study, which explores how PGE’s service territory can transition towards a low-carbon economy over the coming decades. We presented three pathways to deep decarbonization for PGE’s service territory, and discussed the
