No equations used (to my knowledge). Just arithmetic and understanding of what is being asked.

The Attempt at a Solution

Was wondering if my solution/approach to this question is correct or not? I don't have any answers to compare it to so any method/answer I do arrive at is mere speculation.

You've exchanged the emission factors from oil, coal and gas.
You don't use the right way to calculate the average annual percentage growth.
If you have an annual growth of p percent, and initial emission [itex]E_i[/itex] the emission in 26 years will be:
[tex]E_i (1+\frac {p} {100})^{26}[/tex]

Can you find p from that?​
