This scatter chart displays electricity production from coal sources (Mt of CO2 equivalent) against electricity production from coal sources (% of total). The data is from the countries entity and is filtered where the country is the United States.

Analysis

Legend

There are 3 fields used on this chart (including filters):
  • country: Name of country.
  • electricity production from coal sources: Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Coal refers to all coal and brown coal, both primary (including hard coal and lignite-brown coal) and derived fuels (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coke oven gas, and blast furnace gas). This field is expressed in % of total.
  • methane emissions: A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5). Methane emissions are those stemming from human activities such as agriculture and from industrial methane production. This field is expressed in Mt of CO2 equivalent.
