Other factors contributed to the decline: increased electricity generation from non-hydro renewables, lower demand for transport fuels and mild winter temperatures reduced the demand for heating. CO2... emissions in the United States have now declined four of the last five years, 2010 being the exception (Figure 1.10). Their 2012 level was last seen in mid-1990s. CO2 emissions increased also in the United kingdom by 21 Mt, or 4.5%, due to higher coal use in power generation and higher demand for space heating (DECC, 2013). Electricity generation from coal increased by 32%, displacing gas in the electricity mix.
