These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro.

A bit more processing, grinding, and mixing turns those pellets into powdered Portland cement, which accounts for about 90 percent of the CO 2 emitted by the production of conventional concrete [see infographic, “Roads to Cleaner Concrete”]. The exhaust from those fires generates 35 to 50 percent of the cement industry’s emissions.

To answer that, we may look to recent analysis based on a method developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Keeping our options open A recent plan by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) suggests coal-fired power will be phased out by 2035. But the plan suggests a significant amount of gas will remain in the grid.
