The emissions increase in the United States in 2013 (+2.5%) was mainly due to a shift in power production from gas back to coal together with an increase in gas consumption due to a higher demand for space heating. This is due to a relatively high, although steadily declining, energy intensity of the sectors contributing to GDP growth.
