Monthly Energy Review

(Tue, 27 Oct 2015) EIA's most comprehensive report on recent integrated energy statistics. This month, the MER features new Table 2.7, ?U.S. Government Energy Consumption by Agency, Fiscal Years? and new Table 2.8, ?U.S. Government Energy Consumption by Source, Fiscal Years.? Estimates indicate that in fiscal year 2014, the U.S. federal government consumed 941 trillion Btu of energy, a 2% decrease from the previous fiscal year.

Shale’s tale: how technology changed world oil markets

US and Canadian shale has proved a game-changer for an entire industry. In this video, Ross McCracken examines how shale players' transition to 'factory' modes of production, and their extraordinary compression of the investment and oil production cycle has changed world crude flows and markets.

Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions at the State Level, 2000-2013

(Mon, 26 Oct 2015) This analysis examines some of the factors that influence state-level carbon dioxide emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels. These factors include: the fuel mix ? especially in the generation of electricity; the state climate; the population density of the state; the industrial makeup of the state and whether the state is a net exporter or importer of electricity.

Chinese policies aim to increase energy efficiency in buildings

(Mon, 26 Oct 2015) From 1998 to 2012, the energy consumption of buildings in China grew by about 7.7% per year, much faster than China's average annual population increase, which was less than 1% per year. This consumption growth was driven by growing incomes and modernization that significantly increase the use of electricity and other forms of energy.

State Carbon Dioxide Emissions

(Mon, 26 Oct 2015) These estimates of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) are based on the State Energy Data System. The state data include a summary table with total energy-related CO2 by state beginning in 1990, a table with emissions by fuel in 2013 and a table with emissions by sector in 2013. Detailed tables for individual states provide emissions by fuel and sector for data beginning in 1980. Documentation for methodology is also included on the page. For this year EIA has added files with data for all states by fuels and by sectors from 1980 to 2013.

Metallurgical coal markets remain China-centric

Seaborne metallurgical coal producers have a love-hate relationship with China. The world's largest steelmaking country has shown an ability to absorb excess supply of seaborne coking coal, but only at a price that is competitive with its own substantial domestic production.
