Editor’s note: CleanTechnica does not endorse this forecast. We find it worth publishing because of the source (the agency behind it) and as a reference to return to in coming years. To be frank, it looks wildly pessimistic, but we’ll see. Feel free to discuss down in the comments. —Zach Shahan According to our Annual […]

Nearly half of the energy consumed in U.S. buildings in 2021 was used for heating and cooling, according to modeled estimates in our Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022) Reference case. An Issues in Focus analysis on alternative weather assumptions highlights how different long-term weather projections affect space heating and space cooling demand in the U.S. residential and commercial sectors. In […]

In our Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022) Reference case, which reflects current laws and regulations, we project that the share of U.S. power generation from renewables will increase from 21% in 2021 to 44% in 2050. This increase in renewable energy mainly consists of new wind and solar power. The contribution of hydropower remains largely unchanged through […]

Utilities’ Carbon-Reduction Goals Will Have Little Impact On U.S. CO2 Emissions

Credit to Author: U.S. Energy Information Administration| Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2022 23:27:45 +0000

Executing several plans announced by U.S. power utilities to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions would have a minor effect on U.S. energy-related CO2 reductions, according to the analysis we published earlier this week. As part of the Annual Energy Outlook 2021 (AEO2021), we created a Corporate Goal case that incorporates assumptions based on carbon-reduction goals outlined in […]
