Fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions Phase 2 standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles

(Thu, 23 Jun 2016) This report, the second of six Issues in Focus articles from the Annual Energy Outlook 2016, analyzes possible impacts of proposed standards for GHG emissions and fuel consumption by medium- and heavy-duty trucks jointly issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in July 2015. The proposed standards build on the Phase 1 GHG emissions standards for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles that were implemented starting in model year 2014.

Refinery Capacity Report

(Wed, 22 Jun 2016) Data series include fuel, electricity, and steam purchased for consumption at the refinery; refinery receipts of crude oil by method of transportation; and current and projected atmospheric crude oil distillation, downstream charge, and production capacities. Respondents are operators of all operating and idle petroleum refineries (including new refineries under construction) and refineries shut down during the previous year, located in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and other U.S. possessions.

Clean Power Plan implementation decisions affect CO2 emissions and electricity prices

(Tue, 21 Jun 2016) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan (CPP) regulates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at existing fossil-fueled electric power plants, but the ultimate energy-related emissions effect depends to an important extent on how the rule will be implemented by states. Because the CPP provides the flexibility to choose different compliance options for reducing CO2 emissions, EIA has produced an Issues in Focus analysis that considers several compliance paths

EIA launches data add-on tool for Google Sheets

(Mon, 20 Jun 2016) The U.S. Energy Information Administration has released a free data add-on for Google Sheets. Similar to EIA's Microsoft Excel extension, the new Sheets add-on allows users to browse EIA's energy API data categories or search keywords to find domestic and international energy data for the production, consumption, and price of different fuels, as well as EIA's short-term forecasts and long-term projections. EIA currently has 1.2 million data series available through the Application Programming Interface (API), developed as part of EIA's Open Data policy.

Effects of the Clean Power Plan

(Mon, 20 Jun 2016) This report, the first of six Issue in Focus articles from the <em>Annual Energy Outlook 2016</em>, analyzes possible impacts of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s Clean Power Plan (CPP). Cases analyzed include alternative approaches to implementation of the CPP and the impact of extension of the program beyond 2030. Results include effects on CO2 emissions, electricity capacity expansion and retirements, generation fuel mix, electricity prices, and regional impacts.
