and the carbon intensity of the energy supply (carbon dioxide per unit of energy consumed) declined by 2.3%. between 2008 and 2009. The large decline in emissions was driven by the economic downturn, combined with an ongoing trend toward a less energy-intensive economy and a decrease in the carbon-intensity of the energy supply.
