- Amicus Brief in Rio Grande LNG Case – …FERC’s failure to monetize the project’s climate damages using Social Cost of Carbon estimates is arbitrary.
- Comments to FERC on the North Baja Xpress Project – …their impacts using the social cost of carbon. In our August 2021 follow up letter responding to FERC's draft environmental impact statement for the project, we note that the Commission has taken the helpful steps of quantifying direct and downstream emissions, but should still quantify upstream emissions, assess the project's…
- Comments to BLM on New Mexico Oil and Gas Lease Sale – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released its environmental assessment of a February 2020 lease sale in the Carlsbad Field Office region of New Mexico. We submitted joint comments asking BLM to monetize the real-world climate impacts of projected emissions using the social cost of greenhouse gases.
- Comments on Proposed Clean Power Plan Replacement – EPA recently issued a proposal to replace the Clean Power Plan (CPP) with a far weaker rule that will increase greenhouse gas and soot- and smog-forming emissions from the electric sector. Our comments explain why repealing the CPP is unnecessary, irrational, and harmful.
- Joint Comments on Fuel Economy Standards and the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases – …NHTSA should value the social cost of those emissions as robustly as possible, as they have done in the past. We encourage NHTSA to consider the social cost of greenhouse gases in both the rule’s Environmental Impact Statement and Regulatory Impact Analysis, and that it should use estimates considering global…
- Comments to BLM on Evans McCurtain Oklahoma Coal Lease – …9.6 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from direct, upstream, and downstream sources over about eight years. The agency, however, does not provide a monetized estimate of the climate damages those emissions will produce. We submitted joint comments asking that BLM use the social cost of greenhouse gases to…
- Cost of Carbon Website Relaunched – …ongoing work on the social cost of carbon (SCC) in U.S. state policy. The domain, which housed SCC-focused research until 2015, has been renovated and refocused to reflect the most important and relevant developments in the application of the SCC in decisionmaking. It includes an easy-to-navigate version of our FAQ…
- Comments on Proposed Process Changes for Setting Energy Conservation Standards – The Department of Energy (DOE) recently proposed changes to its process for prescribing energy conservation standards for consumer products and commercial/industrial equipment. We submitted comments explaining how DOE’s proposed energy savings thresholds and consumer test are unjustified and will reduce important consumer and environmental benefits.
- Comments to BLM on Utah Oil and Gas Lease Sale – …real-world climate impacts of the lease sales using the social cost of greenhouse gases.
- Comments to FERC on the Acadiana and Louisiana XPress Natural Gas Projects – …emission of 31.9 million tons of downstream emissions in carbon-dioxide equivalence per year from the combusion of natural gas. We submitted comments encouraging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to provide a more complete analysis of project emissions and weigh their climate impacts using the social cost of carbon.
