The EPA has proposed a regulation that will invariably require the existing and future power plants in the country to cap their carbon dioxide emissions in-house.
CO2 Emissions Report of 2022, energy-related CO2 emissions in the world grew by 0.9 percent last year, although the expected growth was much higher owing to the rising inflation, increase in energy prices, and fuel trade disruptions.
The emissions increased by 0.8 percent. A lot of it came from the country’s increased use of natural gas during the high electricity demand in the country during summer heat waves.The regulation faces many hurdles for now. It will likely face the ire of the fossil fuel industry and its allies in Congress.
