This paper applies the Generalized Divisia Index to decompose the CO2 emissions into eight components and uses the Factor Analysis to determine their clusters - the combinations of related components that play the leading role. Economic analysis of these clusters allows for the determination of the main drivers of the CO2 emissions. As a case study, we used the data of the United States from 1950 through 2040 separated into three periods: 1950 - 1980; 1981 - 2012, and 2013 - 2040, each characterized by a specific type of socioeconomic development: industrial, post-industrial, and information, respectively. Data for the last period are projections. As a result, we got an insight into the typology of the CO2 emissions and obtained recommendations on environmental policy aimed at their mitigation.
