decline in energy-related CO2, according to the latest report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The natural gas share of electricity generation has grown as the coal share declined, partially offsetting the decline in energy-related CO 2 emissions from coal. Transportation increase led by gasoline consumption.

JATO: European new car CO2 emissions highest average since 2014; shift from diesel to gasoline and SUVs rise

Green Car Congress

The analysis covered 23 markets in Europe and found a direct correlation between diesel car registrations and average CO2 emissions. The total value of CO2 emissions was on a steady decline from 2007, but started to slowdown in 2016 as the fall reduced from -4.1 g/km to 120.5 —Felipe Munoz, JATO’s global analyst.

EIA: US energy-related CO2 dropped 2.7% in 2015; of end-use sectors, only transportation increased

Green Car Congress

Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation. According to the EIA, the 2015 increase in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector was led by gasoline.
