How many EVs does each state need on the road in 2030? How much land will solar or wind need? How large will the energy workforce be?
@Princeton Net-Zero America study FINAL REPORT is out & our state-level data viewer can answer these and other questions netzeroamerica.princeton.edu
Also NEW in the Net-Zero America final report:
1. A summay report excerpting key findings from the 348 slide full report.
2. Dozens of new sensitivity cases to explore the impact of key uncertainties (see Annex B for detailed info).
3. Detailed mapping or "downscaling" of wind, solar & transmission build-out for more pathways (plus an updated city-to-city transmission planning optimization method).
4. More extensive analysis of the air pollution and public health impacts and benefits of a net-zero energy transition (led by @ErinNMayfield, now a prof. at @dartmouth)
5. A new discussion on trade-offs and key challenges in the pathways to net-zero (which became a frequent focus of our public seminars/briefings on the report since the interim report was released in December 2020).
6. Highlighting four key risks or "failure modes" that could derail the net-zero transition, which emerge from our study. These failure modes and thoughts on how to overcome them are the subject of a NEW @Joule_CP commentary by the NZA authors out now: authors.elsevier.com/a/1e1Pa925JEG8…
7. Final and updated annexes with details on methodologies developed and used in the Net-Zero America study, which you can find at netzeroamerica.princeton.edu/the-report
8. And of course, some error correction/typo fixes etc. Most notable error: a bug in our manufacturing employment estimates which increased estimated solar & wind manufacturing employment in the Interim Report. Does not affect topline job numbers but does change mfg results.
