Power Sector Opportunities for Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Michigan
According to new WRI analysis, in the near- to mid-term, Michigan can meet and possibly exceed future emissions standards for existing power plants. The state has renewable energy (RPS) and energy efficiency standards in place that are already set to achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions from the power sector. WRI analysis finds that Michigan can reduce its CO2 emissions 33 percent ...

Power sector opportunities for reducing carbon dioxide emissions: Ohio
According to new WRI analysis, in the near-term, Ohio can meet and possibly exceed forthcoming emissions standards for existing power plants. Ohio has a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and an energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) in place, which if successful will achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions from the power sector. WRI analysis finds that Ohio can reduce its CO2 ...

EU could cut emissions by 40 percent at moderate cost
The costs of achieving a more ambitious EU climate target are estimated to be moderate. Upscaling greenhouse-gas emissions reduction from the current 20 percent by 2020 to 40 percent by 2030 would be likely to cost less than an additional 0.7 percent of economic activity. This is a key finding from an international multi-model analysis by the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (EMF28) and comes at a ...

A Stronger, Cleaner Michigan: 5 Steps to cost-effectively reduce power sector emissions
New analysis b New analysis by WRI reveals that Michigan has already made big strides to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, including saving energy and increasing renewable power. And, it has the potential to go even further. According to our research, Michigan can reduce its power sector carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions 33 percent below 2011 levels by 2020 by complying with existing policies ...

4 Ways North Carolina can reduce its power sector emissions
Like all U.S. states, North Carolina will need to reduce its power sector CO2 emissions in order to alleviate the impacts of climate change and comply with future EPA standards. New WRI analysis shows that the state is already in a strong position to meet—and potentially even exceed—these forthcoming power plant emissions standards. Our analysis shows that North Carolina can reduce ...
