U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2018

U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2018

Introduction U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increased in 2018. Weather was one driver of this increase: the winter months were colder and the summer months were warmer than in 2017. In addition, U.S. transportation-related emissions continue to rise with gross domestic product (GDP), which has been a trend since 2012. This analysis examines economic trends and changes in fuel mix that influence energy-related CO2 emissions in the United States. As a result
