Building America's Clean Future: Pathways to Decarbonize the Economy
Summary
The testimony by Dr. Karl Hausker of the World Resources Institute outlines decarbonization strategies for the United States, including energy efficiency, electrification, clean electricity generation, and carbon capture and storage, to align with the 1.5°C warming limit established by the 2018 IPCC report.
Key insights
- Decarbonization strategies to achieve a clean energy future for the United States include energy efficiency, electrification, clean generation of electricity, and carbon capture and storage.
- The proposed strategies aim to limit global warming to 1.5°C, following the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, to mitigate the most severe impacts of climate change.
