Decarbonization means significantly reducing carbon emissions that cause climate change. EEA's efforts to reduce carbon emissions across Massachusetts are central to building a clean energy future and reaching Net Zero emissions in 2050.

Key Decarbonization Efforts
EEA is tasked with both shaping climate policy and advancing the implementation of emissions reductions required by state law. The organization works to translate ambitious, nation-leading climate goals into actionable initiatives across the state's economy, focusing on the following five core sectors: Transportation, Buildings, Electric Power, Natural and Working Lands (NWL), and Non-Energy & Industrial (NE&I).
Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2050
The Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2050 (2050 CECP) is the Commonwealth’s comprehensive strategy, mandated by the Global Warming Solutions Act, to achieve Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050.
Everyone Can Take Climate Action
No matter where you live, how you get around, where you work, or your budget, we can all help protect our communities, save energy, and save money.
