Adriana Trujillo on 20 May 16US energy-related carbon emissions dropped 12 percent last year, compared with 2005 levels, after increasing in 2013 and 2014, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Reduced energy-sector C02 emissions in 2015 are largely due to a decreased USe of coal and increased USe of natural gas in the electricity mix, the EIA says. Such fuel-USe changes have accounted for 68 percent of total energy-related CO2 reductions from 2005 to 2015.
