EIA: CO2 emissions from US power sector have declined 28% since 2005

Green Car Congress

US electric power sector CO 2 emissions have declined 28% since 2005 because of slower electricity demand growth and changes in the mix of fuels used to generate electricity, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). In the United States, most of the changes in energy-related CO 2 emissions have been in the power sector.

EIA: US energy-related CO2 fell by 2.8% in 2019, slightly below 2017 levels

Green Car Congress

CO 2 emissions from coal fell by 14.6%, the largest annual percentage drop in any fuel’s CO 2 emissions in EIA’s annual CO 2 data series dating back to 1973. The United States now emits less CO 2 from coal than from motor gasoline. Nearly all of the change in CO 2 emissions in 2019 arose in the electric power sector.

EIA projects US energy-related CO2 emissions to remain near current level through 2050; increased natural gas consumption

Green Car Congress

However, in 2015, natural gas emissions surpassed coal emissions, and the AEO2019 Reference case projects that natural gas CO 2 emissions will continue increasing as natural gas use increases. Natural gas surpassed coal to become the most prevalent fuel used to generate electricity in the United States in 2016.
