    New Jersey Ground Source Heat Pump Baseline Report
    (Trenton, N.J. : New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Climate Change and Clean Energy, 2023-12) Gergely, Ryan; Bevacqua, Anthony; Barry, R. Christopher
    The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) Ground Source Heat Pump Baseline Report was developed with the objective of establishing foundational information to inform future policies supporting use of ground source heat pumps (GSHP) in New Jersey. This report leverages historic NJDEP GSHP well records, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), stakeholder surveys, informational interviews, and emissions reduction estimates to investigate deployment, climate mitigation benefits, and the barriers to adoption of GSHP technology. In doing so, this report illustrates trends in GSHP installations over time, identifies locations of systems and the building sectors they serve, quantifies emissions reduction benefits, and integrates input from GSHP developers to put forward strategic policy recommendations.

    New Jersey's Global Warming Response Act 80x50 Report : Evaluating Our Progress and Identifying Pathways to Reduce Emissions 80% by 2050
    (Trenton, N.J. : Department of Environmental Protection, 2020-10-15) New Jersey. Department of Environmental Protection; Barr, Helaine; Orlando, Paul; Kettig, Robert; Barry, R. Christopher; Karmarkar-Deshmukh, Rupa; Kamel, Marwa
    The GWRA 80x50 Report was written in response to the mandate in the Global Warming Response Act, to reduce New Jersey's greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from their 2006 levels by 2050. This report builds on the State’s previous efforts to address and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and serves as the third element of a comprehensive plan that evaluates New Jersey’s greenhouse gas emissions from both energy and non-energy systems, providing guidance, policies, and regulatory and legislative recommendations to meet the State’s GHG emission reduction goals.
