New Jersey releases ‘Master Plan’ to reach 100% clean energy by 2050, hit other targets

摘要

The State of New Jersey on Monday released its Draft 2019 Energy Master Plan to reach 100% clean energy by 2050 by transitioning to carbon-neutral power generation and maximum electrification of the transportation and building sectors. “The Draft Energy Master Plan is a comprehensive roadmap toward achieving our goal of a 100% clean energy economy by 2050,” Governor Phil Murphy said in a statement. The plan defines clean energy as “carbon-neutral electricity generation” and electrification of the transportation and building sectors “to meet or exceed the Global Warming Response Act greenhouse emissions reductions of 80% relative to 2006 levels by 2050,” or the 80-by-50 goal.
