Low-carbon fuels could help reach US climate goals
For the U.S. to achieve its decarbonization goals, low-carbon fuel supplies would need to grow significantly by 2050.
Explore insights on how to drive low-emission transitions and build resilience against the effects of climate change.

New modeling shows that renewable natural gas and renewable hydrogen could become key low-carbon fuels in the United States' clean energy supply. These low-carbon fuels might need to rise from virtually zero today to more than 3k tBTU by 2030 and nearly 15k tBTU by 2050. Together, low-carbon fuels might need to surpass natural gas as a fuel supply by 2040.
