The United States is facing an urgent need to accelerate the enhancement of its energy infrastructure to meet both domestic and global priorities, including ambitious decarbonization goals. Building new energy projects involves overcoming a range of complex hurdles, from supply chain issues to permitting and community engagement.
Resources for the Future (RFF) has launched a project to address the critical information gaps and analytical shortcomings affecting energy infrastructure policy.
This report highlights the need for more detailed analysis and better tools to guide policy decisions on energy infrastructure. It sets forth a research agenda designed to inform future policy-making, with a series of research papers expected by 2025.
