The statistic shows the U.S. electric power sector's carbon dioxide emissions from petroleum between 2009 and 2040. It is estimated that some 16 million metric tons of CO² equivalent will be produced by the use of petroleum in the U.S. electric power sector in 2015.

Emissions in million metric tons of CO2 equivalent
The values for 2009 and 2010 are taken from a previous edition of the publication. The figures from 2015 to 2040 are projections based on a business-as-usual trend estimate, given known technology and technological and demographic trends. The data include electricity-only and combined heat and power plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
