Nevada nowhere near meeting 2030 greenhouse gas emission goal
Nevada's emissions are projected to decline by only 0.5% from 2025 to 2030, missing SB254 targets by 24.3%, due to policy shifts and limited enforcement, state data shows.
- NDEP projects Nevada's carbon emissions will stay nearly the same over the next five years, cutting emissions by only 20.7% by 2030 and missing the 2030 legislative reduction target by 24.3 points.
- Under SB254 the law did not establish consequences for missing targets, and the gap has remained fairly flat since 2019, according to policy framers.
- Sector data show electricity generation fell to 26% by 2023 after the Reid Gardner and Mohave coal-plant retirements, while transportation's share rose, with NDEP citing recalculations of jet fuel.
- Nevada fell short of its 2025 goal and projections show it will lag further by 2030, leaving the state off track for its net-zero by 2050 target and requiring stronger policies.
- State and federal policy shifts, including potential EPA rollbacks and Nevada not adopting California vehicle standards, weaken expected reductions, Nevada's emissions projections show little change through 2030.
