Modeling Deeper Decarbonization in Northeastern US States

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute assessing the viability of rapid decarbonization pathways for Northeastern U.S. states, specifically focusing on Rhode Island, to align with updated climate science.

• Rhode Island could potentially achieve emissions reductions of up to 80% by 2030 through the adoption of existing technologies.
• The study indicates that adopting existing technologies could enable emissions reductions between 70% and 80% by the years 2030, 2040, or 2050.
• Complete decarbonization is hindered by specific challenges, including air travel, industrial emissions, and methane leakage from landfills and natural gas transmission.
