Solar in Arizona, Hydrogen in Louisiana: Here’s Where Each State Should Look for Quick Climate Solutions

RMI analyzed 24 states under current climate policies to see where they could best slash emissions by 2030 and keep US goals on track.

Forty-six states are drawing up plans to cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to take advantage of a $5 billion provision in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) known as the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program. In a separate article, RMI shows the best way for states to set ambitious, actionable, and achievable emissions reduction targets in such plans. But which strategies in each state can best help achieve these targets? After all, we know that there is no one-size-fits-all solution given states have diverse sources of emissions and policies enacted to date. Using the state Energy Policy Simulator (EPS), RMI has identified the top strategies…
