United States Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization

The United States Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization illustrates pathways to achieve an 80 percent economy-wide emission reduction by 2050. It considers various scenarios, including a benchmark scenario, two “negative emissions” scenarios, and three “energy technology” scenarios. In its base case scenario, emissions reductions double after 2020, which accelerated pace is sustained through 2050.
