Holland, Stephen P., et al. Why marginal CO2 emissions are not decreasing for US electricity Estimates and implications for climate policy. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 119.8 (2022)

Objective:

• Estimate marginal CO2 emissions due to changes in systemwide electricity use

Case:

• US

Methodology:

• OLS

Data Source

• Hourly emission: US EPA

Findings:

• Marginal emissions have increased 7%
• Pushing coal to be more frequently and decreasing the efficiency increases the marginal emissions
