Emissions of CO 2 from fossil fuels and industry did not change from 2014 to 2016, yet there was a record increase in CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere. The data point to China as the main cause of the renewed growth in fossil emissions, with a projected growth of 3.5%. —Peters et al. in the US and 0.2%

CO 2 emissions from coal fell by 14.6%, the largest annual percentage drop in any fuel’s CO 2 emissions in EIA’s annual CO 2 data series dating back to 1973. The United States now emits less CO 2 from coal than from motor gasoline. Source: US Energy Information Administration, Monthly Energy Review.

This decrease was largely driven by a decrease in emissions from fossil fuel combustion, which was a result of multiple factors including a continued shift from coal to natural gas and increased use of renewables in the electric power sector, and milder weather that contributed to less overall electricity use.
