The Inflation Reduction Act marks Congress's most significant action on clean energy and climate change in the nation’s history. Section 60107(5) of the Inflation Reduction Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from domestic electricity generation and use changes through 2031.

To satisfy this requirement, EPA has developed a report that relies upon results from state-of-the-art multi-sector and electric sector models to assess how the IRA's provisions reduce emissions. The report examines the projected reductions in CO2 emissions due to the Inflation Reduction Act provisions, including GCAM modeling from the Center for Global Sustainability.
