COP28 RESOURCE Hub

Edison International
Driving A Clean Energy FUTURE


Edison International is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045 and supports global efforts and investments to advance a clean energy future.

The electric power sector has a major impact and plays a key role in helping drive down emissions economywide.

Meeting California’s ambitious climate goals requires keeping all options open, including greater use of emerging technologies such as carbon capture, to achieve the most feasible solutions. Similar transformation is needed worldwide to reduce GHG emissions at a scale that will meaningfully slow climate change.

COUNTDOWN TO 2045: REALIZING CALIFORNIA'S PATHWAY TO NET ZERO

Creating an electrified economy, powered by clean generation and enabled by the unprecedented buildout of the electric grid, requires state agencies and utilities to think differently. This means changes for how California's entire energy infrastructure is planned and operated.

Countdown to 2045 updates and expands Southern California Edison's 2019 analysis, Pathway 2045. A key driver for this updated analysis is AB 1279, which made the state's carbon-neutral goal into law in 2022 and established a deeper requirement for direct GHG reductions. The paper identifies feasibility challenges to affordably meet state goals and calls for policy changes and technology developments to address them.

California must keep exploring options, including greater use of emerging technologies such as carbon capture, to find even more feasible and affordable approaches in reaching carbon neutrality. These investments will create opportunities for economic growth, along with reducing air pollution and climate risks.
