The large decline in emissions, achieved before the COVID-19 crisis, was mainly due to reduced coal use for power generation. Increasing carbon prices and gas becoming relatively cheaper compared with coal led to a significant reduction in coal use, in favor of gas and renewable energy sources. from 2018 to 2019.

This decrease was driven largely by a decrease in emissions from fossil fuel combustion resulting from a decrease in total energy use in 2019 compared to 2018 and a continued shift from coal to natural gas and renewables in the electric power sector. CO 2 emissions decreased 2.2% from 2018 to 2019.
