An Evaluation of Utah's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Options

This report quantifies the avoided emissions potential from 16 of the strategies that the Blue Ribbon Advisory Council on Climate Change sent to Gov. Huntsman for his consideration. This process was meant to be a quantitative companion analysis to the Blue Ribbon Advisory Council report to provide further groundwork for Utah's climate plan. In addition, it was to be used to help inform Utah's decision making regarding its Western Climate Initiative goal setting. In order to accomodate these decision making processes, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions provided much of this analysis to the State prior to the completion of this report.
