Greenhouse gas emissions released by coal and natural gas plants when generating electricity to power those air-conditioners would nearly double, from 1.25 billion tons in 2016 to 2.28 billion tons in 2050, the report says.
Is “when generating electricity” an adverb clause? Why can it omit the subject “they” (coal and natural gas plants)?
I know the grammar is correct if it’s changed to “coal and natural gas plants release greenhouse gas emissions when generating electricity...”. But I’m not sure about the original sentence.
Thanks

What exactly do you mean by omitting "subject + be"? How else do you think the sentence should be phrased?
