This statistic gives outlook figures on carbon dioxide emissions from those electric power sources including geothermal power and nonbiogenic emissions from municipal waste in the U.S. from 2016 to 2050. It is estimated that six million metric tons of carbon dioxide will be emitted from such sources used for electric power in 2030.
U.S. electric power sector carbon dioxide emissions between 2016 and 2050
(in million metric tons)
Includes emissions from geothermal power and nonbiogenic emissions from municipal waste. Figures from 2020 to 2050 are EIA reference case projection - a business-as-usual trend estimate, given known technology and technological and demographic trends.
