The IEA said that this reflects the continued domination of fossil fuels—particularly coal—in the energy mix and the slow uptake of other, lower-carbon supply technologies. In 2012, sales of hybrid-electric vehicles passed the one million mark. In 1990 the underlying carbon intensity of supply was 57.1 tCO 2 /toe).
