本論文は、米国が2030年のパリ協定目標達成が困難である一方、短期間での排出削減は可能と分析。火力発電燃料価格の変動が電力コストの主要因であり、メタン漏洩率が気候影響に大きく寄与することを示した。電気自動車や業務用暖房の電化が即効性のある削減手段であると結論付けている。
English
This paper analyzes that while the USA is unlikely to meet its 2030 Paris Agreement target, rapid near-term abatement is achievable. Using the PyPSA-USA energy model, it finds that fossil fuel price volatility dominates electricity costs and that methane leakage rates critically affect climate impact. Demand-side electrification of light-duty vehicles and service sector heating are identified as immediate levers for carbon reduction.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Given recent changes in federal climate policy, the United States is unlikely to meet its original 2030 Paris Agreement emission target of a 50-52% reduction from 2005 levels. However, rapid near-term abatement remains achievable through targeted multi-sector energy transitions. Extending the open-source energy system model, PyPSA-USA, to perform multi-sector analysis, we evaluate the primary drivers of USA energy costs and emissions though applying global sensitivity analysis. Our results suggest that fossil fuel price volatility is the dominant driver of marginal electricity and energy costs across most of the nation, however, uncoordinated state-level renewable mandates can induce localized cost spikes due to regional bottlenecks. We find that system climate impact (CO2e) is overwhelming sensitive to fugitive methane leakage rates and global warming potential assumptions. Addressing upstream methane leaks will play a crucial role in abating climate-related damages. Finally, demand-side electrification, specifically light-duty electric vehicles and service sector heating, can act as immediate levers for carbon abatement. The results of this work suggest that many of the Inflation Reduction Act's clean energy initiatives, that have since been repealed, are effective near-term solutions to reduce exposure to fossil fuel price and mitigate future financial penalties associated with the rising social cost of carbon.
