Today, Princeton University released the interim report of their Net-Zero America Project (NZAP). This is the culmination of over two years of work and outlines feasible transitions to net-zero emissions in the U.S. with a new level of specificity and granularity. The project uses EER's EnergyPATHWAYS and

EER releases a new national analysis on federal policy for a low-carbon, high-renewables electricity system that can enable economy-wide net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. This work explores the least-cost electricity system consistent with an economy-wide pathway to carbon neutrality and which federal policies can most effectively enable that system. Insights
