Fig. 4: CO2 emissions reductions from electrification over time across different approaches for accounting for electric sector emissions.
From: Economy-wide evaluation of CO2 and air quality impacts of electrification in the United States
Scenarios assume high electrification with current policies (A) and economy-wide carbon tax (B). Stacked bars show displaced fossil fuel emissions by sector. The other bars show the net emissions effect after accounting for emissions associated with increased electricity production under five different assumptions. Constant average and marginal emissions are based on 2019 estimates20.
