“The Annual Energy Outlook (AEO), published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, projects carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector will decrease 9% from 2017 levels by 2050, with fossil fuels continuing to dominate electricity generation. Economy-wide carbon emissions are expected to decrease 2.5%, with reductions in the power sector and transportation offset by a 16% increase in carbon emissions from industrial sources.”

“What is driving the rise? This year’s rising emission figures are largely due to solid growth in coal use, but coal still remains below its historical high in 2013. Coal use may soon exceed this 2013 peak if current growth continues.”
