Today, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the U.S. Department of State jointly released the second Mission Innovation National Innovation Pathway 2024 report, highlighting the Biden-Harris Administration's actions to accelerate clean energy technology innovations. This report encourages continued international collaboration to build a pipeline of critical technologies to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% by 2030 and achieve a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
When President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, they pledged to restore America's climate leadership at home and abroad. Every day since, the Biden-Harris Administration has led and delivered on the most ambitious climate, conservation, clean energy, and environmental justice agenda in history. This Administration has secured the largest ever climate investment and unleashed a clean energy manufacturing boom that has attracted hundreds of billions of dollars in private sector investment. These actions have created hundreds of thousands of new clean energy jobs and lowered energy costs for families, all while delivering cleaner air and water for communities across the country.
In 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration released the first Mission InnovationNational Innovation Pathway report to outline a comprehensive approach to accelerating clean energy technology innovations based on the 2021 United States Long Term Strategy.
This 2024 update adds ongoing efforts and expanded investments, initiatives, and partnerships that this Administration has taken in the last year through the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The United States continues to deploy established clean energy technologies at scale, and the Biden-Harris Administration continues to develop a robust clean technology innovation ecosystem for the future. This report focuses on the actions the Biden-Harris Administration is taking to maintain this pipeline of emerging technologies essential to reaching net-zero.
