This was the result of growing renewable power generation, switches from coal to natural gas, improvements in energy efficiency, as well as structural changes in the global economy. The biggest drop came from the United States, where carbon dioxide emissions fell 3%, or 160 million tonnes, while the economy grew by 1.6%.

In the United States, most of the changes in energy-related CO 2 emissions have been in the power sector. In 2016, natural gas generation surpassed coal as the largest source of electricity generation. This growth has been driven largely by state policies and federal tax incentives that encouraged adoption of renewables.
