Technology and US Emissions Reductions Goals: Results of the EMF 24 Modeling Exercise

The EMF 24 U.S. Technology Scenarios engaged nine top energy-environment-economy models to examine the implications of technological improvements and technological availability for reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and 80% by 2050. This 2014 report confirms that mitigation at the 50% or 80% level will require a dramatic transformation of the energy system over the next 40 years.
