In October 2011, the refinery yield of distillate fuels (a category that includes diesel fuel and heating oil) reached 29.7%, matching the previous record set in December 2008, according to figures from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). For all major products, only the distillate yield is higher now than it was in October 2001.
In addition to high oil prices and the financial crisis, the increased use of new renewable energy sources, such as biofuels for road transport and wind energy for electricity generation, had a noticeable and mitigating impact on CO 2 emissions. Fossil oil consumption decreased by one per cent, due to high prices and more biofuels.
