In its current version of the Short Term Energy Outlook ( STEO ), the US Energy Information Administration projects a 5% decline in fossil-fuel-based CO 2 emissions in 2009. The decrease was driven by the economic downturn, combined with a significant switch from coal to natural gas as a source of electricity generation, according to the EIA.

VMT rose slightly in 2009 while emissions from gasoline and diesel fuel declined, a result EIA attributes as a likely result of more efficient vehicles and increased consumption of biofuels. Total US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were 6,576 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO 2 e) in 2009, a decrease of 5.8%

Factors contributing to the 7% drop in emissions in 2009. While emissions have declined in three out of the last four years, EIA noted, 2009 was “ exceptional ”. In addition to a decline in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009 of 2.4%, the energy intensity of the economy (energy consumed per dollar of GDP) declined 2.4%

Among the findings of the EIA analysis: CO 2 emissions form natural gas surpassed those from coal in 2016. Natural gas CO 2 emissions have increased every year since 2009. Transportation increase led by gasoline consumption. Motor gasoline accounted for 56.0% from the 2015 level. between 2015 and 2016.

In the IEA’s central base case, demand this year drops for the first time since 2009 because of the deep contraction in oil consumption in China, and major disruptions to global travel and trade. But the longer-term challenges facing the world’s suppliers are not going to go away, especially those heavily dependent on oil and gas revenues.

Shale gas offsets declines in other US supply to meet. The Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) Reference case released yesterday by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) more than doubles the technically recoverable US shale gas resources assumed in AEO2010 and added new shale oil resources.

In 2010, the price of regular gasoline averaged $2.78 This contributed to a decline in gasoline consumption of 2.9% This would tend to put upward pressure on electricity demand and related emissions. A carbon intensity decline in the electric power sector (-4.0%) which accounted for 40% of total U.S. per gallon.
