Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions vary significantly across states. An analysis of state-level emissions data from 2000 through 2010 released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that the overall size of a state, as well as the available fuels, types of businesses, climate, and population density, play a role in both total and per capita emissions.
The projections in the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA's) Annual Energy Outlook 2013 (AEO2013) focus on the factors that shape the U.S. energy system over the long term. Under the assumption that current laws and regulations remain unchanged throughout the projections, the AEO2013 Reference case provides the basis for examination and discussion of energy production, consumption, technology, and market trends and the direction they may take in the future. It also serves as a starting point for analysis of potential changes in energy policies.
This document provides contact information for questions about the International Energy Outlook 2011 report. It lists the EIA officials in charge of directing and overseeing the report, along with contact information for analysts who focused on specific areas covered in the report, such as world energy demand, macroeconomic assumptions, and various fuel types. It also acknowledges other EIA employees who contributed to producing the report.
Annual natural gas report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Chock full of great charts and graphs and data, laying out production, imports and exports of natural gas in the U.S.
The document is the Annual Energy Outlook 2010 report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in April 2010. It provides long-term projections of U.S. energy supply, demand, and prices through 2035 based on EIA's National Energy Modeling System. Key projections include moderate growth in U.S. energy consumption and greater use of renewable energy. U.S. reliance on imported liquid fuels is projected to decline due to increased domestic production, driven by growth in shale gas that offsets declines in other sources. Increases in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are projected to slow. The report discusses various legislation and regulations as well as alternative cases exploring uncertainties around the reference case projections.
The document provides information about the Annual Energy Outlook 2014 report prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It lists the directors and contributors responsible for preparing the report. It also provides contact information for questions about specific topics covered in the report such as economic activity, electricity generation, and renewable energy. The report projections energy supply, demand, and prices in the United States through 2040 based on the National Energy Modeling System.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration performs an annual comprehensive review of all sources of energy used in the U.S., and they take their best guess at where supply and demand--and prices--will go in the near- and long-term (to 2040 for this report). The EIA employs some of the best brains in the business and of all the government agencies, the EIA is least susceptible to political manipulation by The White House.
AKWA IBOM STATE, NIGERIA 2012-2016 PUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEWHFG Project
This public expenditure review analyzes health spending in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria from 2012-2016. It finds that:
1) Health spending as a percentage of the state budget averaged just 3.5% over this period, below the 15% target.
2) Key health indicators like infant and under-5 mortality rates improved but remain high, and access to basic health services is limited outside urban areas.
3) Per capita government health spending increased slightly from $13 to $17 over this period but remains well below international benchmarks.
The report recommends that Akwa Ibom State increase health spending to at least 15% of the budget to improve population health outcomes and work to expand
The document provides statistics on U.S. healthcare costs including:
- The average cost of individual and family health insurance premiums in the U.S. are $6,435 and $18,142 respectively.
- U.S. per capita healthcare costs and healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP are the highest in the world at $9,523 per person and 17.5% of GDP.
- One in five Americans under 65 with health insurance are struggling to pay their medical bills and the average working family spends $2,576 out of pocket on healthcare costs.

The full report will be available on the EIA website and provides additional details on methodology and results.
A report compiled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in response to a request from the Dept. of Energy analyzing the effects that an increase in natural gas exports would have on the U.S. market.
This document summarizes the key findings of a report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) analyzing the potential effects of increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from the lower 48 U.S. states. The EIA modeled scenarios with LNG exports of 12 billion cubic feet per day, 16 billion cubic feet per day, and 20 billion cubic feet per day. The analysis found that increased LNG exports would likely result in higher domestic natural gas prices, increased domestic natural gas production, reduced domestic natural gas consumption, and higher energy-related carbon dioxide emissions compared to baseline cases without such exports. Increased LNG exports were also found to provide macroeconomic benefits including increased U.S. GDP
A study published on Oct. 29 by the U.S. Energy Information Administration titled "Effect of Increased Levels of Liquefied Natural Gas Exports on U.S. Energy Markets". The study finds that 60-80% of all the gas we'll need for exporting LNG will be met by the increase in natural gas output on the way due to our country's abundant shale supplies. The bottom line: Natgas prices at home will not go up dramatically (perhaps at all) due to an increase in exports of LNG.
Natural gas report covering data received up through August 2016. The monthly report highlights activities, events, and analyses of interest to public and private sector organizations associated with the natural gas industry.
The document is the International Energy Outlook 2021 report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) which contains projections for global energy markets through 2050. It includes sections on macroeconomic assumptions, energy consumption by sector, industrial energy use, transportation energy use, electricity markets, and fuel-specific sections on coal, petroleum, natural gas and emissions. The report projects that global energy needs will rise significantly through 2050 with non-OECD nations accounting for most of the growth, driven largely by increased demand from China and India. Fossil fuels will continue meeting most global energy needs but renewables and natural gas will be the fastest growing sources.
The Annual Energy Outlook provides long-term energy projections for the United States. Energy market projections are subject to much uncertainty because many of the events that shape energy markets as well as future developments in technologies, demographics, and resources cannot be foreseen with certainty. To illustrate the importance of key assumptions, This 2019 Energy Outlook and projections includes a Reference case and six side cases that systematically vary important underlying assumptions. the effects of economic assumptions on energy consumption are the High and Low Economic Growth cases, which modify population growth and productivity assumptions throughout the projection period to yield higher or lower compound annual growth rates for U.S. gross domestic product than in the Reference case.

This document summarizes a report on accelerating energy storage market growth through financing. It finds that project financing is key to the future of the energy storage industry. While early market leaders self-funded projects, new lenders lack understanding of technology and credit risks. The Department of Energy can expand access to capital by reducing barriers and providing benchmarks to evaluate risk. This will help scale the market from early adopters to the mainstream.
This document provides three summaries of the key information:
1) It describes a guide to selecting low-emission boiler and combustion equipment that was published in April 2002 by Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy.
2) It provides information on industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers, including types (firetube, watertube), fuel feed systems (stokers, burners), and typical emission rates from uncontrolled and controlled boilers when burning different fuels.
3) It discusses U.S. emissions standards and regulations under the Clean Air Act, including national ambient air quality standards for pollutants and emissions limits for existing steam generating units to reduce sulfur dioxide, particulate matter,

Predicting and Monitoring PV Energy ProductionLeonardo ENERGY
The measurement and prediction of photovoltaic energy production is a fundamental sub-discipline in PV system science and engineering. Measurement and monitoring, as compared to prediction, is generally simpler. Prediction, because it is dependent upon weather, is more challenging. Measurement and prediction of PV can be used to compute revenues based upon electricity tariffs, or to create construction contract terms for bonuses or liquidated damages, for utility grid management, or for system owners' warranty and O&M, or many other applications. Whatever the goal, the processes and methods are critical to the physical and financial viability of PV technology and its integration into the utility grid. Though they are described separately in this application note, prediction and monitoring are frequently done simultaneously. This results in a performance ratio. This ratio is a metric which quantifies the expected vs. delivered system production. This application note provides a broad overview and introduction to the topic.
The document acknowledges contributions from organizations that assisted in producing a Department of Energy report on wind energy. It provides notice that the report was prepared in compliance with information quality guidelines and peer review processes. It also includes disclaimers about product endorsements and limitations on legal liability by the U.S. government. Contact information is provided for accessing the report electronically or purchasing it from the National Technical Information Service.
Demand response is the largest underutilized reliability resource in North America. Historic demand response programs have focused on reducing overall electricity consumption (increasing efficiency) and shaving peaks but have not typically been used
for immediate reliability response. Many of these programs have been successful but demand response remains a limited resource. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) report, Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering (FERC 2006) found that only five percent of customers are on some form of demand response program. Collectively they represent an estimated 37,000 MW of response
potential. These programs reduce overall energy consumption and they also reduce stress on the power system at times of peak loading. More recently demand response has begun to be considered, and in some cases actually
used, to directly supply reliability services to the power system. Rather than reducing
overall power system stress by reducing peak loading over multiple hours these programs
are targeted to immediately respond to specific reliability events. This is made possible
by advances in communications and controls and has benefits for the power system and
the load.

This document discusses flooding risks in New York City from coastal storms like hurricanes and nor'easters. It summarizes that:
1) Sandy caused unprecedented flooding and damage, though it did not bring the strongest winds or heaviest rainfall of past storms.
2) Modeling shows that if Sandy had arrived at a different time, flooding could have been worse in northern areas like the Bronx and Queens.
3) New York City faces ongoing risks from coastal flooding that are expected to intensify with climate change, so the city needs to prepare for a variety of future climate impacts.
The document provides a summary of significant wildland fire potential forecasts for May through August 2013 across various regions of the United States. Some key points:
- May and June will see above normal fire potential in California and the Southwest due to drought conditions and lack of precipitation drying out fuels.
- July and August will expand the above normal fire potential to Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and portions of Idaho and Montana.
- Most other areas east of the Rockies will see normal fire potential, though portions of the Southwest may return to normal conditions in July.
- Alaska will see below normal fire potential in May and normal conditions from June through August due to cooler temperatures delaying snowmelt and the

The Department of Commerce Budget in Brief - Fiscal Year 2014climate central
The Department of Commerce FY 2014 budget request totals $8.6 billion, a $1 billion increase over FY 2012. Key priorities include strengthening US manufacturing and innovation through investments in research, export promotion, and trade enforcement. The budget also supports science and stewardship through data collection and satellite programs at NOAA, national security through export controls at BIS, and public safety through weather forecasting at NWS.
Natural catastrophes and man-made disasters in 2012climate central
Natural catastrophes and man-made disasters in 2012 resulted in approximately 14,000 deaths and $186 billion in economic losses. Insured losses totaled over $77 billion, making 2012 the third costliest year since 1970. Major events included Hurricane Sandy, a drought in the US, and an earthquake in Italy. While insured losses from natural catastrophes were over $71 billion, there remains a $109 billion gap between total insured and uninsured economic losses, highlighting the need for increased insurance coverage worldwide.
This document outlines a plan by the NOAA Office of Coast Survey to improve nautical charting in Alaska and the Arctic. It aims to support marine transportation through partnerships to collect geodetic, shoreline, sea level, and hydrographic data. Over 50 new large and medium scale charts are proposed for areas with increased shipping, resource development, tourism, and subsistence activities. Regular updates will incorporate new data to build upon existing charts and coverage in this changing region.

A Boston Harbor Alliance report which warns of the region’s growing vulnerability to storm-surge events similar to that seen during Hurricane Sandy - translating to the city’s 100-year flood level.
Climate Change and Agriculture in the United States: Effects and Adaptationclimate central
This document summarizes the key effects of climate change on U.S. agriculture as identified in the report. It finds that rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will reduce productivity for most crops, outweighing benefits from increased carbon dioxide. Effects will vary by crop and region but all production systems will be impacted. Livestock are vulnerable to temperature stresses. Climate change will exacerbate existing biotic stresses from weeds, pests and diseases. It will also compromise ecosystem services like soil quality and water resources that support agriculture. The report calls for more research on extreme weather effects and improving agricultural adaptation through new crop varieties, practices and policies.

National Climate Assessment (Draft) Report Executive Summaryclimate central
Climate change is affecting the United States through increased temperatures, rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and ocean acidification. These changes threaten infrastructure, ecosystems, and human health and livelihoods. While some mitigation efforts have reduced US emissions, global emissions are still increasing and more action is needed to avoid severe impacts. Adaptation is also critical to increasing resilience and reducing harm from current and future climate change impacts.
