The metric used was emission intensities: emissions per unit of generated electricity

"If coal and oil plants in the top 5 percent of polluters switched to natural gas, global emissions would drop by 29.5 percent."

So, if top 5% just switch to natural gas of the same electrical generation capacity, the global emission still drops by ~30%.
