Maryland's Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

The draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions Act plan comprises 65 strategies that are expected to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 25% from a 2006 baseline by 2020 to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change and contribute to the growth of green jobs and economic recovery. The identified offshore wind initiative is expected to generate annually 48.2 jobs, $8.3 million in output, and $3.6 million in wages (in its operational phase).
