REDUCING EMISSIONS FROM TRANSPORTATION IN THE NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC

The document details the costs and benefits of transitioning New Hampshire's transportation sector to clean technologies by 2050. It projects a cumulative net benefit of approximately $8.6 billion, driven primarily by fuel savings, while estimating a total investment of nearly $22 billion, with electricity generation and storage being the largest cost. Environmentally, the transition is expected to avoid over 63 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and reduce fossil fuel use by more than 6.5 billion gallons by 2050.

• By 2050, the deployment of clean vehicle and fuel technologies in New Hampshire is projected to result in a cumulative net benefit of approximately $8.56 billion.
• The total investment required for these technologies in New Hampshire from 2018 through 2050 is nearly $22 billion, with electricity generation and storage representing the largest investment share at $11.44 billion by 2050.
• Fuel savings are the primary driver of financial returns, totaling $22.58 billion by 2050, which is more than double the cost of electricity generation and storage.
• The transition is estimated to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 63.1 million metric tons and decrease the use of fossil-based liquid fuels by more than 6.5 billion gallons by 2050.
• The strategy aims to align with regional climate targets for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, which seek emissions reductions of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050.
