The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that after an increase in 2010 of 3.3%, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the US in 2011 decreased by 2.4% (136 million metric tons), while GDP grew by 1.8%. This indicates that the carbon intensity of the economy declined by about 4.2%. per gallon.

China’s share of global energy-related CO 2 emissions has increased in just eight years from 14% in 2000 to 22% in 2008.
