Washington Emissions Pathways Modeling

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 project has modeled various energy pathways scenarios that explore the impact of different policies on the state’s ability to meet emission reduction targets. 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.
