(Thu, 14 Sep 2017) World energy consumption is projected to increase by 28% by 2040, according to the International Energy Outlook 2017. Most of the worldâs growth is projected to take place in countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). China, India, and the other non-OECD Asia nations alone account for more than 60% of the projected increase in world energy demand.
(Wed, 13 Sep 2017) Hurricane Harvey caused substantial electricity outages, as power plants and transmission infrastructureâparticularly in south Texas and along the Gulf Coastâwere affected by high winds and significant flooding.
The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port continues to experience a surge in crude oil imports more than two weeks after Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas Gulf Coast and prevented ports in that state from receiving crude for days.
If President Trump continues to reach across the aisle, what other deals might be possible?
(Tue, 12 Sep 2017) Since January 2015, the production of primary aluminum in the United States has fallen by more than 50%. The United States consistently produced about 140,000 metric tons of aluminum each month until mid-2015, when output slowed significantly.
(Tue, 12 Sep 2017) The analyses presented in this report are based on model results for a number of international transportation energy consumption scenarios using ITEDD. This analysis demonstrates new EIA modeling and analysis capabilities, presents examples of key energy-demand determinants, and shows how a quantitative framework can aid in understanding them.
(Mon, 11 Sep 2017) Hurricane Harvey caused substantial disruptions to crude oil and petroleum product supply chains and increased petroleum product prices. For the week ending September 1, 2017, gross inputs to refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast fell by 3.2 million b/d, or 34%, from the previous week, the largest drop since Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008.
While the island was spared the worst of the storm, widespread power failures raised questions about its future viability.
The state has deferred costly maintenance, raising fears that the storm could overrun its waterworks, flood systems and other facilities.
(Fri, 08 Sep 2017) Hurricane Irma caused significant damage to the northeastern Caribbean and is currently projected to turn towards Florida this weekend. Current model forecasts project that Hurricane Irma will then pass along or just offshore the east coast of Florida, though the actual storm track could change from current advanced projections. To help analysts assess energy-related potential storm effects, EIA maintains an energy disruptions map that displays energy infrastructure and real-time storm information.
