Oregon Energy Policy Simulator Insights: Recent Developments, Policies to Meet Emissions Goals

Research using the Oregon Energy Policy Simulator indicates that Oregon's current climate policies will reduce emissions by 25% below 1990 levels by 2035 and nearly 30% by 2050. However, implementing stronger policies across the economy, particularly in transportation and buildings, could achieve a 50% reduction by 2035 and 74% by 2050, while significantly increasing GDP and job creation.

• Current climate policies in Oregon are projected to reduce emissions to 25 percent below the 1990 baseline by 2035 and nearly 30 percent below by 2050, while contributing $140 million to the state economy and creating 570 jobs by 2050.
• The adoption of more aggressive policies across the economy, with a focus on transportation and buildings, could reduce emissions by 50 percent by 2035 and 74 percent by 2050, resulting in a GDP increase of nearly $4 billion and the creation of 18,000 jobs by 2050.
