The United States accounted for about a third of the rise in global carbon emissions in 2025, as higher gas prices pushed power producers back to coal, an Energy Institute report showed.
The report was produced in partnership with Ember, Kearney Institute and KPMG.
US coal consumption jumped 10 per cent last year, reversing a shift towards cleaner fuels and helping lift overall emissions.
According to the report, global carbon emissions from the energy sector rose 1.1pc to 35,806 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. More than a third of this increase came from the US.
