US Energy Policy Shift to Boost Fossil Fuels, Hike Emissions 3 Billion Tons by 2050: Report

The Trump administration’s reversal of clean energy incentives and support for fossil fuels is projected to increase North America’s power emissions by 3 billion metric tons through 2050. Coal generation is now expected to be 46% higher than previous estimates, while wind power faces a 24% decline.

Major Policy Shift Drives Emissions Increase

The abrupt cuts to U.S. federal clean energy incentives alongside fresh support for fossil fuel power will trigger a significant increase in North America’s emissions in the coming decades, according to reports from consultancy DNV. Analysis suggests that North America’s power emissions from 2025 to 2050 will be 3 billion metric tons more than was projected in 2022, when the previous U.S. administration had implemented aggressive clean power goals.
