This statistic gives outlook figures on the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions from electric power sources in the U.S. between 2011 and 2040. It is estimated that around two billion metric tons of carbon dioxide will be emitted from electric power sources in 2020:
U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from all electric power sources* from 2011 to 2040
(in million metric tons)
* Includes electricity-only and combined heat and power plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. ** EIA reference case projection - a business-as-usual trend estimate, given known technology and technological and demographic trends.
