For battery EVs, the GHG emissions for “fuel/electricity” production are dominated by the coal and natural gas used in electricity generation. Although China and India rely more heavily on coal in electricity generation, even in these countries, battery EVs offer a clear climate benefit compared to gasoline cars, according to the report.

Gas demand growth was especially strong in the United States and China. Solar and wind generation grew at double-digit pace, with solar alone increasing by 31%. Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use. Demand growth was led by the United States.

In August 2012, coal produced 39% of US electricity, up from a low of 32% in April 2012, when the natural gas share of generation equaled that of coal. The August coal share of generation is still notably lower than the 50% annual average over the 1990-2010 period. Other plants use PRB coal transported by rail.

In the United States, most of the changes in energy-related CO 2 emissions have been in the power sector. In 2016, natural gas generation surpassed coal as the largest source of electricity generation. This growth has been driven largely by state policies and federal tax incentives that encouraged adoption of renewables.
