According to Climate Central, Massachusetts has successfully reduced CO2 emissions by 30% between 2005 and 2020
A surge in solar and wind energy is propelling the nation toward its 2050 emissions goals, with federal targets aiming for 50% below 2005 emission levels by 2030.
By 2035, the objective is to achieve 100% carbon-pollution-free electricity, ultimately reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. Massachusetts is leading the way with state legislation, particularly Bill S.9, outlining equitable goals to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 while safeguarding low- and moderate-income communities.
Yesterday, Massachusetts generated enough solar energy to sustain 20% of homes, saving an estimated 4,330 tons of heat-trapping gas emissions—equivalent to planting 72,000 trees. While wind energy currently powers less than 1% of homes, offshore wind projects are projected to rival the impact of solar energy by 2030 as the industry grows., Massachusetts has successfully reduced CO2 emissions by 30% between 2005 and 2020.
