Washington Emissions Pathways Modeling

Ongoing

adonis_abril

CETI and Evolved Energy Research began working with the Washington Department of Commerce  in April 2024 to develop economy-wide energy pathways scenarios that would achieve the state’s emission reduction goals and form the basis for Washington’s Comprehensive Climate Action Planning (CCAP), which will meet Environmental Protection Agency Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) requirements.

To date, the modeling has examined six scenarios that all achieve the emission reduction targets, including a baseline and reference case. Additional work will be done in 2025 to investigate the health benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, workforce implications, and the impact on Washingtonians’ pocketbooks.’
