The U.S. could get to net-zero carbon emissions using mainly existing technologies, new report says.
Share on email , made by the ICF Climate Center, offers an optimistic take on what the U.S. can do with available technologies and policy levers to slash emissions. The Climate Center is a research arm within global consulting firm ICF.The Climate Center's findings were provided first to Axios and show that taking major steps on electric vehicle deployment, building decarbonization and clean energy could take the country to near or at net-zero emissions by 2050.
As other reports have concluded, current U.S. policies would significantly cut emissions through 2030 and by 2050, but they would not be enough to meet the Biden administration's emissions reduction goals. The 2050 emissions would not quite hit net zero, in part due to hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement manufacturing and aviation. Still, they would get the country closer to that all-important target compared to existing policy paths.The report drives home the speed and scope of the decarbonization challenge facing the country.
And with the power sector, the report's scenarios show the need to boost renewables to 85% of total electricity generation by 2050.
