Recent trends can be attributed to multiple factors including reduced emissions from electricity generation, improvements in fuel efficiency in vehicles with reductions in miles traveled, and year-to-year changes in the prevailing weather, EPA said. Commercial aircraft emissions continued to fall, having decreased 18% since 2007.

The downward pressure on emissions was slightly offset by an uptick in transportation energy consumption that was influenced by lower fuel prices that put upward pressure on emissions. These emissions were highest in 2007, prior to the recession, and have not returned to those levels, although they have increased since 2012.
