“Emissions of greenhouse gases from the electricity sector are considerably lower
In Q3 2023, GHG emissions in the electricity sector were 37 percent lower than in the same quarter last year. This is because coal-based electricity production was 79 percent lower. Coal consumption causes more emissions than natural gas. The lower electricity production from coal was compensated by more production from wind energy (+65 percent), natural gas (+16 percent) and solar energy (+13 percent).”
