Power Sector Opportunities Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions Minnesota
Summary
WRI analysis indicates that Minnesota can reduce CO2 emissions by 31 percent below 2011 levels by 2020 through a combination of renewable energy standards, energy efficiency targets, and the optimization of existing natural gas and coal infrastructure.
Key insights
- Minnesota has the potential to reduce its CO2 emissions by 31 percent below 2011 levels by 2020, a figure that would meet or exceed hypothetical EPA power plant emissions standards requiring reductions between 24 and 30 percent.
