EIA expects 7% increase in US energy-sector CO2 emissions as economic activity increases during 2021

Green Car Congress

Increased economic activity and a changing fuel mix in the electric power sector in 2021 will lead to a significant increase in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions this year, according to the US Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) August Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). billion metric tons this year.

IEA: global energy demand rose by 2.3% in 2018, fastest pace in the last decade; CO2 emissions up 1.7%

Green Car Congress

Natural gas emerged as the fuel of choice, posting the biggest gains and accounting for 45% of the rise in energy consumption. Gas demand growth was especially strong in the United States and China. Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use.
