Energy consumption by light-duty vehicles in the United States, AEO2013 and AEO2014, 1995-2040 (quadrillion Btu). As a result, annual increases in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in LDVs average 0.9% New vehicle sales shares are generally similar in AEO2014 and AEO2013 but with moderate variation. quadrillion Btu in 2012 to 12.1

EIA: world petroleum use sets record high in 2012 despite declines in North America and Europe

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 27, 2013

Petroleum use in North America, which is dominated by consumption in the United States, has declined since 2005. In 2011 and 2012, higher oil prices and increased fuel efficiency of light-duty vehicles contributed to reduced US consumption. Increased consumption in 2010 reflected improving economic conditions.

Further, the fossil fuel share of primary energy consumption falls from 82% in 2011 to 78% in 2040 as consumption of petroleum-based liquid fuels falls, largely because of the incorporation of new fuel efficiency standards for light-duty vehicles. million vehicles in 203—about 20% higher than in the AEO2012 Reference case.

There have been 5 recession since then until now and I wanted to see if Oil had anything to do with them, because deep in my heart, I knew the most recent recession was directly caused by the oil price spikes that started in 2007 and peaked in 2008. This increase in oil prices again pushed the economy into a recession.

Natural gas is projected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel, and coal and oil are likely to lose market share as all fossil fuels experience lower growth rates. OECD oil demand peaked in 2005 and in 2030 is projected to be roughly back at its level in 1990. Oil, excluding bio-fuels, will grow relatively slowly at 0.6%

Assuming no changes in policy related to greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide emissions grow slowly, but do not again reach 2005 levels until 2027. After falling 3% in 2008 and nearly 7% in 2009, largely driven by the economic downturn, energy-related CO 2 emissions do not return to 2005 levels (5,980 million metric tons) until 2027.

OCTOBER 15, 2009

Demand for oil in developed countries—currently 54 percent of all oil demand—has passed its peak, the latest research suggests. Industry analysts reckon oil demand in developed countries likely reached its all-time peak in 2005. Oil demand outside the transportation sector has already been relatively flat since 1980.
