CO₂ emissions from the US electric power sector

• The Coalbed Methane Outreach Program (CMOP) works to reduce methane released into the atmosphere as a result of coal mining by supporting recovery of naturally occurring coal mine gases and encouraging the production of coalbed methane energy, among other uses.
• Natural Gas STAR Program
• The government also supports alternative energy sources that do not rely on fossil fuels, including wind power, solar power, geothermal power, and biofuel.
• These clean energy sources can often be integrated into the electric grid in what are known as distributed generation systems.
