BusinessGreen: US energy-related carbon emissions dropped 3.8 per cent in 2012 to 5.29 billion metric tons last year, reaching their lowest level since 1994. An Energy Information Administration (EIA) report published yesterday also confirms energy consumption fell by 2.4 per cent last year even as the US continued its economic recovery with GDP growing by 2.8 per cent. The improvement in energy efficiency meant that energy use per dollar of GDP, or energy intensity, fell 5.1 per cent. According to the new...

Environment News Service: In 2012, U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were at their lowest level since 1994 and more than 12 percent below the recent 2007 peak, the federal agency that compiles energy statistics announced today. U.S. emissions of CO2, the most prevalent of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change, declined 3.8 percent in 2012, despite economic growth, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA. Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions have dropped in five out of...

Natural Gas, Efficiency Fuel U.S. Carbon Emissions Decline
2013-10-22 00:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: U.S. carbon dioxide emissions related to energy consumption dropped to their lowest point since 1994 last year, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report released Monday afternoon. The decline of coal as a power source in favor of natural gas in the U.S. is a big part of that decline, the EIA reported. Natural gas power generation increased by 211.8 billion kilowatt hours in 2012 over 2011, while coal power declined by 215.2 billion kilowatt hours last year. The EIA reported...

U.S. carbon emissions hit lowest level since 1994
2013-10-21 23:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: In a bit of encouraging climate news, the U.S. government reported Monday that U.S. emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels were lower last year than at any time since 1994. Driven by efficiency gains, an unusually warm winter and a switch from coal to natural gas, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions actually declined 3.8% in 2012 even though the U.S. economy grew 2.8% that year, according to new data by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the statistical...
