Interactive Maps

The United States is a world leader in developing the new, low-carbon technologies and innovative infrastructure solutions that will be needed to effectively mitigate and manage the worst effects of climate change. However, Decarb America modeling of net-zero pathways shows that the United States must speed up the deployment of new clean energy production, transmission, and transportation technologies and associated infrastructure to meet deep decarbonization targets in time. This is both an enormous challenge and an opportunity to create jobs, grow the economy, and position American companies to supply the growing global market for climate-friendly energy alternatives. Deploying this technology at the scale required will also require the ability to site a large number of clean energy projects throughout the nation at an unprecedented rate.

Check out the opportunities in your state across 12 infrastructure categories in the interactive maps below. All maps show results from nine scenarios: 1) Reference Case, 2) Sectoral Policies, 3) High Renewables/High Electrification, 4) Constrained Renewables, 5) Slow Consumer Adoption, 6) Constrained Renewables + Slow Consumer Adoption, 7) High Conservation, 8) Low Biomass, and 9) No Fossil. More details on these cases are available on the Scenarios webpage.
