The United States could reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 3.0 to 4.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2030 by using tested approaches and high-potential emerging technologies, according to a recent study by global consulting firm McKinsey & Co.

Starting in early 2007, a research team from McKinsey worked with leading companies, industry experts and academics to develop a detailed, consistent fact base estimating costs and potentials of different options to reduce or prevent GHG emissions within the U.S. through 2030. The team analyzed more than 250 options including efficiency gains, shifts to lower-carbon energy sources and expanded carbon sinks.

To achieve the estimated reductions, the U.S. would need to pursue a wide array of abatement options with marginal costs less than $50 per ton, with the average net cost to the economy being far lower if the nation can capture sizable gains from energy efficiency, according to the study.
