Abstract
The U.S. energy system will continue a significant transition through 2050, driven by new technologies, policies, and consumer choices. These will result in new market dynamics, industry challenges, and changes in energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. OnLocation, a KeyLogic company, produced the U.S. Energy Horizons to 2050 report to explore these issues using its enhanced version of the National Energy Modeling System (OL-NEMS). The Horizons report provides Reference and Advanced Technologies scenarios to illustrate the impacts of clean technology innovation and enabling policies that could lead to deeper decarbonization.
