Maine is on track to meet its long-term climate goals, according to a new report released by the Maine Department of Environmental Protections on Thursday. The report shows that Maine has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions to 25 percent below 1990 levels as of 2019, which is in line with the state’s goals to reduce emissions to 45 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2030. The state has also reached about 75 percent carbon neutrality, and has produced emissions that have consistently been at least 10 percent lower than 1990 levels since 2016, according to the report.
