Carbon dioxide emissions in the United States are estimated to decline by between 30 and 47 percent below 2005 levels by 2035, under likely energy market, policy, and carbon removal outcomes. Methane emissions on the other hand could reduce by between six and 25 percent by 2035, relative to 2005 levels.
The U.S. has set the target of reducing net GHG emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
