Why?
Because production output matters.
If production falls, energy use and absolute emissions can fall with it. That can look like progress in a headline emissions number — but it does not tell the full operating story.
A better question is whether emissions intensity improved:
How much emissions were associated with each unit of output?
That means looking at the context together:
Energy use + Production output + Emissions factor + Baseline
The distinction matters when sustainability performance is being evaluated alongside operational performance.
