Immediate action across all sectors essential to achieve US carbon goals
If the United States is to reach its 2030 climate change target , carbon reductions across all sectors of the economy , including accelerated electrification , will be crucial , according to a new analysis by the Electric Power Research Institute ( EPRI ).
Coming on the heels of Congress advancing a bill calling for more than US $ 1 trillion in infrastructure development , the EPRI report conveys what it could take to achieve the US interim goal based on detailed modelling of economic pathways by the non-profit research and development organisation , along with its analysis of numerous third-party studies .
Key findings include :
• Achieving the 2030 US goal means tripling the recent pace of decarbonisation .
• Electricity use increases by up to 23 % as economy-wide dependence on clean electricity grows .
• As the electric system expands to support the clean energy economy , overall energy costs decline for many households .
EPRI President and CEO , Arshad Mansoor , said : " While achieving bold US carbon goals is possible , realising this vision affordably
and reliably means leveraging all technology solutions at our disposal , growing supply chains and skilled labour and accelerating innovation , regulatory , permitting and other processes to enable action ." x
