The main reason for downward trends in emissions is the decarbonisation of grid electricity. This is more prevalent in some states more than others. For example, in South Australia, the shift to renewable energy in the grid results in a reduction in electricity emissions throughout the whole state. In other states this trend is not as noticeable. Please note that historical data should only be used as a trend. More detailed analysis is required for specific council areas and sectoral changes.
