The Energy Information Administration (EIA) report has predicted a slowdown in the US CO2 emissions by 7% for next two years. Experts said that it is a positive sign from the US as it would help to have improved energy efficiency.

The report said that decline in carbon emission is due to decline in the use of coal which would reflect in the emission, and its effect would also be visible in the power sector. However, the positive news is that if the patterns remain like this then the carbon emission level would get under control by 2035.

The level is found to be on decline since 2005 and its major would be seen in 2035. As per the new federal standards, the carbon emission level is going down by 1% every year. The report read: “Over the next 25 years, the projected coal share of overall electricity generation falls to 39 percent, well below the 49-percent share seen as recently as 2007, because of slow growth in electricity demand, continued competition from natural gas and renewable plants”.

In addition to it, it is expected that share of electricity which is generated from renewable energy would rise between 10 and 16% in the coming time. Not only this, the gas-fired fuel would generate 13% more energy from 2012.

It seems that it is the plan of the Obama administration which has promised the UN that it would reduce green house gas emission by 17% till 2020. Since then, the administration is making one or the other federal regulations which could help achieve them targets.

They have also started some state emission-reduction programs which have helped them a lot and they expect to introduce many more such activities which make them help to set an example in front of the world.
