California program encourages adoption of zero-emissions vehicles
California, 9 other states accounted for 39% of national light-duty electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle sales California’s Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program is expected to increase sales of electric, plug-in hybrid, and other alternative light-duty vehicles in the United States, according to the US Energy Information Administration. The ZEV program is administered by the California Air Resources Board […]
What shapes American industry’s energy intensity?
Industrial energy intensity is expected to decline by 15% from 2015 to 2040 Industrial sector energy intensity is heavily influenced by the composition of goods and services, which is based on both domestic and international demand, according to US Energy Information Administration. In EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016), industrial energy intensity is expected to […]
World tight oil production to more than double from 2015 to 2040
US tight oil production reached 4.6 million b/d in March 2015 but fell to 4.1 million b/d in June World tight oil production is expected to more than double between 2015 and 2040, increasing from 4.98 million b/d in 2015 to 10.36 million b/d in 2040, according to the US Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Outlook […]
Future natural gas plant liquids production depends on resources, market conditions
Since 2012, the US has built extensive capacity to use or export natural gas plant liquids Natural gas plant liquids (NGPL) accounted for 22 per cent of total US petroleum and other liquid fuels production in 2015. In EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) Reference case, increases in NGPL account for a significant share of total increases in […]
Energy intensity reduced significantly in US steel production – EIA
Steelmaking processes and technologies will continue to evolve in response to commodity prices The manufacture of steel and related products is an energy-intensive process. In 2015, the steel industry accounted for 1.5 per cent of all industrial shipments but 6.1 per cent of industrial delivered energy consumption, according to the US Energy Information Administration. In EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) […]
US crude oil production forecast to rise significantly by 2040 – EIA
In High Oil Price case, US becomes a net exporter of petroleum and other liquid fuels by 2022 The US Energy Information Administration projects that US petroleum and other liquid fuels production will grow from 14.8 million b/d in 2016 to 18.6 million b/d in 2040 in its Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) Reference case. Other […]
Clean Power Plan cuts coal production in all US supply regions – EIA
Coal production in Interior region increases by 86 million tons while Appalachian coal declines 50 million tons by 2040 US coal production is projected to decline by about 26 per cent, or 230 million tons, between 2015 and 2040 according to EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) Reference case. It assumes the implementation of the Clean Power Plan. In a […]
Clean Power Plan choices by states will change electricity generation mix
Demand-side energy efficiency plays a major role in holding down growth in electricity demand When designing the Clean Power Plan, the Environmental Protection Agency provided states with generation fuel and technology options to meet their emissions targets, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Given the options available to states, EIA has produced several scenarios as […]
Aggressive US policy reduces energy use, emissions; boosts renewables, efficiency – EIA
Reductions in transportation energy consumption driven by fuel economy requirements Tax credits and efficiency standards for appliances and vehicles have been key drivers for increasing renewable energy use and energy efficiency in the US according to the US Energy Information Administration. Extending these policies and increasing the stringency of the Clean Power Plan beyond 2030 […]
Proposed standards for medium, heavy-duty vehicles to reduce diesel consumption
Starting with a 20-mpg vehicle, fuel economy must increase to 40 mpg to produce same savings per mile Proposed fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards would increase fuel economy and reduce diesel consumption in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Unlike light-duty vehicles, which have had fuel economy standards since […]
