"A decline in economy-wide emissions is a step in the right direction, but that rate of decline needs to more than triple and sustained at that level every year from 2024 through 2030 in order to meet the US's climate target under the Paris Agreement of a 50-52% reduction in emissions," Rhodium said in a note to clients.
Carbon emissions from coal-fired electricity fell 8 percent last year, and building emissions dropped 4 percent due to a mild winter, resulting in less natural gas, fuel oil and propane used for heating.
