This is due to a switch from coal to natural gas for electricity generation and a slight decrease in electricity production. Data for 2012 show that in the two years since reporting began, emissions from power plants have decreased 10%. Fossil-fuel fired power plants remain the largest source of US greenhouse gas emissions.

The presence of carbon monoxide in the syngas can assist with the conversion of lignin, and the observed effect is similar to that seen for coal hydroprocessing with syngas compared to hydrogen alone. The water extracts any residual salts that may be present in the lignin thereby preventing fouling or deactivation of the catalyst.
