| Annual Energy Outlook 2011With Projections to 2035April 2011U.S. Energy Information AdministrationO~ce of Integrated and International Energy AnalysisU.S. Department of EnergyWashington, DC 20585This report was prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. By law, EIA's data, analyses, and forecasts are independent of approval by any other o~cer or employee of the United States Government. The views in this report therefore should not be construed as representing those of the Department of Energy or other Federal agencies.This publication is on the WEB at:www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/
| |
| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 iiProjections by EIA are not statements of what will happen but of what might happen, given the assumptions and methodologies used for any particular scenario. The Reference case projection is a business-as-usual trend estimate, given known technology and technological and demographic trends. EIA explores the impacts of alternative assumptions in other scenarios with di~erent macroeconomic growth rates, world oil prices, and rates of technology progress. The main
| |
| | |
| cases in AEO2011 generally assume that current laws and regulations are maintained throughout the projections. Thus, the projections provide policy-neutral baselines that can be used to analyze policy initiatives.While energy markets are complex, energy models are simplied representations of energy production and consumption, regulations, and producer and consumer behavior. Projections are highly dependent on the data, methodologies, model structures, and assumptions used in their development. Behavioral characteristics are indicative of real-world tendencies rather than representations of specic outcomes.Energy market projections are subject to much uncertainty. Many of the events that shape energy markets are random and cannot be anticipated. In addition, future developments in technologies, demographics, and resources cannot be foreseen with certainty. Many key uncertainties in the AEO2011 projections are addressed through alternative cases.EIA has endeavored to make these projections as objective, reliable, and useful as possible; however, they should serve as an adjunct to, not a substitute for, a complete and focused analysis of public policy initiatives.PrefaceThe Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011), prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), presents long-term projections of energy supply, demand, and prices through 2035, based on results from EIA's National Energy Modeling System (NEMS). EIA published an "early release" version of the AEO2011 Reference case in December 2010.The report begins with an Executive summary that highlights key aspects of the projections. It is followed by a Legislation and regulations section that discusses evolving legislative and regulatory issues, including a summary of recently enacted legislation and regulations, such as a recently announced (October 13, 2010) EPA waiver, which allows the use of motor gasoline blends containing 15 percent ethanol in newer vehicles (model year 2007 or later), or the 7-year moratorium on o~shore drilling in the Atlantic and Pacic that was announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior on December 1, 2010. The Issues in focus section contains discussions of selected energy topics, including a discussion of the results in two cases that adopt di~erent assumptions about the future course of existing policies: one case assumes the extension of a selected group of existing public policies-corporate average fuel economy standards, appliance standards, production tax credits, and the elimination of sunset provisions in existing energy policies; the other case assumes only the elimination of sunset provisions. Other discussions include: a look at evolving environmental regulations that a~ect the power sector; the economics of carbon capture and storage; prospects for shale gas production, including cost uncertainty and its impact on decisions for new power plant builds, fuel use, and emissions; and the basis for world oil price and production trends in AEO2011.The Market trends section summarizes the projections for energy markets. The analysis in AEO2011 focuses primarily on a Reference case, Low and High Economic Growth cases, and Low and High Oil Price cases. Results from a number of other alternative cases also are presented, illustrating uncertainties associated with the Reference case projections for energy demand, supply, and prices.
| |
| Complete tables for the ve primary cases are provided in Appendixes A through C. Major results from many of the alternative cases are provided in Appendix D. Complete tables for all the alternative cases are available on EIA's website in a table browser at www.eia.gov/oiaf/aeo/tablebrowser/
| |
| .AEO2011 projections are based generally on Federal, State, and local laws and regulations in e~ect as of the end of January 2011. The potential impacts of pending or proposed legislation, regulations, and standards (and sections of existing legislation that require implementing regulations or funds that have not been appropriated) are not reected in the projections. In certain situations, however, where it is clear that a law or regulation will take e~ect shortly after the AEO is completed, it may be considered in the projection.AEO2011 is published in accordance with Section 205c of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Organization Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-91), which requires the EIA Administrator to prepare annual reports on trends and projections for energy use and supply.

| iiiU.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Updated Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Reference case (April 2011)The AEO2011 Reference case included in the nal published report released in April 2011 is updated from the Reference case that was used in the AEO2011 Early Release Overview (December 2010). The Reference case was updated to incorporate modeling changes and reect changes based on recent legislation and regulations that were not available when the Early Release Overview was published. Major changes made for the updated Reference include:Added a 30-percent investment tax credit for fuel cells, with a 2016 expiration dateRetired the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant at the end of 2019Revised the amount of new wind capacity built in 2012 (7 rather than 10 gigawatts)Benchmarked oil production to EIA's January Short-Term Energy Outlook (including revision of undiscovered oil drilling schedules)Delayed additional deepwater oshore projectsForced economic life to be 43 years for coalbed methane play that was deciding on a 16-year lifeUpdated carbon-dioxide-enhanced oil recoveryUpdated natural gas reserve reportingUpdated 2011 cellulosic ethanol subsidyUpdated ethanol tax credit, biodiesel tax credit, and ethanol tari through 2011Allowed E15 use in 2001-2006 model year light-duty vehicles (in addition to 2007-present)Updated battery cost curveUpdated sales of electric, hybrid electric, microhybrid, and plug-in electric vehiclesUpdated High Technology case assumptionsUpdated historical data for energy-related carbon dioxide emissions and updated carbon dioxide emissions factors for biomass, based on upcoming EIA data reports.Future analyses using the AEO2011 Reference case will start from the version released with this complete report.

| 88 Executive summary U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 2 Executive summaryThe projections in the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) 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 AEO2011 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. But AEO2011 is not limited to the Reference case. It also includes 57 sensitivity cases (see Appendix E, Table E1), which explore important areas of uncertainty for markets, technologies, and policies in the U.S. energy economy.Key results highlighted in AEO2011 include strong growth in shale gas production, growing use of natural gas and renewables in electric power generation, declining reliance on imported liquid fuels, and projected slow growth in energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions even in the absence of new policies designed to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.AEO2011 also includes in-depth discussions on topics of special interest that may aect the energy outlook. They include: impacts of the continuing renewal and updating of Federal and State laws and regulations; discussion of world oil supply and price trends shaped by changes in demand from countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or in supply available from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries; an examination of the potential impacts of proposed revisions to Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for light-duty vehicles and proposed new standards for heavy-duty vehicles; the impact of a series of updates to appliance standard alone or in combination with revised building codes; the potential impact on natural gas and crude oil production of an expanded oshore resource base; prospects for shale gas; the impact of cost uncertainty on construction of new electric power plants; the economics of carbon capture and storage; and the possible impact of regulations on the electric power sector under consideration by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Some of the highlights from those discussions are mentioned in this Executive Summary. Readers interested in more detailed analyses and discussions should refer to the "Issues in focus" section of this report.Imports meet a major but declining share of total U.S. energy demandReal gross domestic product grows by 2.7 percent per year from 2009 to 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case, and oil prices grow to about $125 per barrel (2009 dollars) in 2035. In this environment, net imports of energy meet a major, but declining, share of total U.S. energy demand in the Reference case. The need for energy imports is oset by the increased use of biofuels (much of which are produced domestically), demand reductions resulting from the adoption of new vehicle fuel economy standards, and rising energy prices. Rising fuel prices also spur domestic energy production across all fuels-particularly, natural gas from plentiful shale gas resources-and temper the growth of energy imports. The net import share of total U.S. energy consumption in 2035 is 17 percent, compared with 24 percent in 2009. (The share was 29 percent in 2007, but it dropped considerably during the 2008-2009 recession.)Much of the projected decline in the net import share of energy supply is accounted for by liquids. Although U.S. consumption of liquid fuels continues to grow through 2035 in the Reference case, reliance on petroleum imports as a share of total liquids consumption decreases. Total U.S. consumption of liquid fuels, including both fossil fuels and biofuels, rises from about 18.8 million barrels per day in 2009 to 21.9 million barrels per day in 2035 in the Reference case. The import share, which reached 60 percent in 2005 and 2006 before falling to 51 percent in 2009, falls to 42 percent in 2035 (Figure 1).Domestic shale gas resources support increased natural gas production with moderate pricesShale gas production in the United States grew at an average annual rate of 17 percent between 2000 and 2006. Early success in shale gas production was achieved primarily in the Barnett Shale in Texas. By 2006, the success in the Barnett shale, coupled with high natural gas prices and technological improvements, turned the industry focus to other shale plays. The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies has made it possible to produce shale gas economically, leading to an average annual growth rate of 48 percent over the 2006-2010 period.Shale gas production continues to increase strongly through 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case, growing almost fourfold from 2009 to 2035. While total domestic natural gas production grows from 21.0 trillion cubic feet in 2009 to 26.3 trillion cubic feet in 2035, shale gas production grows to 12.2 trillion cubic feet in 2035, when it makes up 47 percent of total U.S. production-up considerably from the 16-percent share in 2009 (Figure 2).The estimate for technically recoverable unproved shale gas resources in the Reference case is 827 trillion cubic feet. Although more information has become available as a result of increased drilling activity in developing shale gas plays, estimates of technically recoverable resources and well productivity remain highly uncertain.

U.S. liquids fuel consumption, 1970-2035 (million barrels per day) 3U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Executive summaryrecoverable shale gas are certain to change over time as new information is gained through drilling, production, and technological and managerial development. Over the past decade, as more shale formations have gone into commercial production, the estimate of technically and economically recoverable shale gas resources has skyrocketed. However, the increases in recoverable shale gas resources embody many assumptions that might prove to be incorrect over the long term.Alternative cases in AEO2011 examine the potential impacts of variation in the estimated ultimate recovery per shale gas well and the assumed recoverability factor used to estimate how much of the play acreage contains recoverable shale gas. In those cases, overall domestic natural gas production varies from 22.4 trillion cubic feet to 30.1 trillion cubic feet in 2035, compared with 26.3 trillion cubic feet in the Reference case. The Henry Hub spot price for natural gas in 2035 (in 2009 dollars) ranges from $5.35 per thousand cubic feet to $9.26 per thousand cubic feet in the alternative cases, compared with $7.07 per thousand cubic feet in the Reference case.Despite rapid growth in generation from natural gas and nonhydropower renewable energy sources, coal continues to account for the largest share of electricity generationAssuming no additional constraints on CO 2 emissions, coal remains the largest source of electricity generation in the AEO2011 Reference case because of continued reliance on existing coal-red plants. EIA projects few new central-station coal-red power plants, however, beyond those already under construction or supported by clean coal incentives. Generation from coal increases by 25 percent from 2009 to 2035, largely as a result of increased use of existing capacity; however, its share of the total generation mix falls from 45 percent to 43 percent as a result of more rapid increases in generation from natural gas and renewables over the same period. The role of natural gas grows due to low natural gas prices and relatively low capital construction costs that make it more attractive than coal. The share of generation from natural gas increases from 23 percent in 2009 to 25 percent in 2035.Electricity generation from renewable sources grows by 72 percent in the Reference case, raising its share of total generation from 11 percent in 2009 to 14 percent in 2035. Most of the growth in renewable electricity generation in the power sector consists of generation from wind and biomass facilities (Figure 3). The growth in generation from wind plants is driven primarily by State renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requirements and Federal tax credits. Generation from biomass comes from both dedicated biomass plants and co-ring in coal plants. Its growth is driven by State RPS programs, the availability of low-cost feedstocks, and the Federal renewable fuels standard, which results in signicant cogeneration of electricity at plants producing biofuels.Proposed environmental regulations could alter the power generation fuel mixThe EPA is expected to enact several key regulations in the coming decade that will have an impact on the U.S. power sector, particularly the eet of coal-red power plants. Because the rules have not yet been nalized, their impacts cannot be fully analyzed, and they are not included in the Reference case. However, AEO2011 does include several alternative cases that examine the sensitivity of power generation markets to various assumed requirements for environmental retrots.The range of coal plant retirements varies considerably across the cases (Table 1), with a low of 9 gigawatts (3 percent of the coal eet) in the Reference case and a high of 73 gigawatts (over 20 percent of the coal eet). The higher end of this range is driven by the somewhat extreme assumptions that all plants must have scrubbers to remove sulfur dioxide and selective catalytic reduction to remove nitrogen oxides, that natural gas wellhead prices remain at or below about $5 through 2035, and that environmental 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 1990 2000 2009 2015 2025 2035HistoryProjections 2009Lower 48 onshore conventionalShale gasCoalbed methaneAlaskaLower 48 offshoreTight gasFigure 2.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 4 Executive summaryretrot decisions are based on an assumption that retrots occur only if plant owners can recover their costs within 5 years. The latter quick cost recovery assumption is meant to represent the possibility of future environmental regulation, including for GHGs.In all these cases, coal continues to account for the largest share of electricity generation through 2035. Many of the coal plants projected to be retired in these cases had relatively low utilization factors and high heat rates historically, and their contribution to overall coal-red generation was relatively modest.Electricity generation from natural gas is higher in 2035 in all the environmental regulation sensitivity cases than in the Reference case. The faster growth in electricity generation with natural gas is supported by low natural gas prices and relatively low capital costs for new natural gas plants, which improve the relative economics of gas when regulatory pressure is placed on the existing coal eet. In the alternative cases, natural gas generation in 2035 varies from 1,323 billion kilowatthours to 1,797 billion kilowatthours, compared with 1,288 billion kilowatthours in the Reference case.Assuming no changes in policy related to greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide emissions grow slowly and do not return to 2005 levels until 2027After falling by 3 percent in 2008 and 7 percent in 2009, largely as a result of the economic downturn, energy-related CO 2 emissions grow slowly in the AEO2011 Reference case due to a combination of modest economic growth, growing use of renewable technologies and fuels, e~ciency improvements, slower growth in electricity demand (in part because of the recent recession), and more use of natural gas, which is less carbon-intensive than other fossil fuels. In the Reference case, which assumes no explicit regulations to limit GHG emissions beyond vehicle GHG standards, energy-related CO 2 emissions do not return to 2005 levels (5,996 million metric tons) until 2027, growing by an average of 0.6 percent per year from 2009 to 2027, or a total of 10.6 percent.
| |
| CO 2 emissions then rise by an additional 5 percent from 2027 to 2035, to 6,311 million metric tons in 2035 (Figure 4).To put the numbers in perspective, population growth is projected to average 0.9 percent per year, overall economic growth 2.7 percent per year, and growth in energy use 0.7 percent per year over the same period. Although total energy-related CO 2 emissions increase from 5,996 million metric tons in 2005 to 6,311 million metric tons in 2035 in the Reference case, emissions per capita fall by 0.7 percent per year over the same period. Most of the growth in CO 2 emissions in the AEO2011 Reference case is accounted for by the electric power and transportation sectors.The projections for CO 2 emissions are sensitive to many factors, including economic growth, policies aimed at stimulating renewable fuel use or low-carbon power sources, and any policies that may be enacted to reduce GHG emissions. In the AEO2011 Low and High Economic Growth cases, projections for total primary energy consumption in 2035 are 106.4 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) (6.9 percent below the Reference case) and 122.6 quadrillion Btu (7.4 percent above the Reference case), and projections for energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2035 are 5,864 million metric tons (7.1 percent below the Reference case) and 6,795 million metric tons (7.7 percent above the Reference case), respectively.ResidentialCommercialIndustrialTransportationElectricitygeneration 0

Currently, there are many pieces of legislation and regulation that appear to have some probability of being enacted in the not-too-distant future, and some laws include sunset provisions that may be extended. However, it is di~cult to discern the exact forms that the nal provisions of pending legislation or regulations will take, and sunset provisions may or may not be extended. Even in situations where existing legislation contains provisions to allow revision of implementing regulations, those provisions may not be exercised consistently. In certain situations, however, where it is clear that a law or regulation will take eect shortly after the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) modeling work is completed, it may be considered in the projection. Sensitivity cases that incorporate alternative assumptions about proposed policies or existing policies subject to periodic updates are also included among the many alternative cases completed as part of the AEO. The Federal and State laws and regulations included in AEO2011 are based on those in eect as of the end of January 2011. In addition, at the request of the Administration and Congress, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has regularly examined the potential implications of proposed legislation in Service Reports. Those reports, and others that were completed before 2010, can be found on the EIA website at www.eia.gov/oiaf/service_rpts.htm

| .Examples of recently enacted State and Federal legislation incorporated in AEO2011 include:State provisions passed in 2010 in Connecticut [
| |
| 1], Maine [
| |
| 2], New Jersey [
| |
| 3], and New York [
| |
| 4] that reduced the maximum allowable sulfur content of heating oil sold, as well as some plans to include mandated percentages of biodiesel content.Final regulations promulgated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in January 2010 to implement a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) [
| |
| 5]. The LCFS program aims to reduce the carbon intensity of motor gasoline and diesel fuel sold in California by 10 percent over the years 2012 through 2020 by increasing the volumes of alternative low-carbon fuels being introduced into the marketplace.The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, enacted in December 2010 [
| |
| 6]. This law includes an extension of the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit at $0.45 per gallon through 2011, a retroactive extension of the $1.00 per gallon biodiesel excise tax credit through 2011, and an extension of the $0.54 per gallon tari on imported ethanol through 2011.Updates to State renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs, representing laws and regulations of 30 States and the District of Columbia that require renewable electricity generation.Examples of recent Federal and State regulations, as well as provisions considered in earlier AEOs that have been aected by subsequent court decisions, include the following:Approval of a waiver allowing the use of motor gasoline blends containing up to 15 percent ethanol for vehicles of model year (MY) 2001 and newer by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in January 2011 [
| |
| 7].Issuance of new guidelines by the EPA in April 2010 regarding the compliance of surface coal mining operations in Appalachia with the provisions of the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the environmental justice Executive Order (E.O. 12898) [
| |
| 8]. The guidance explains the approach that the EPA will be following in permit reviews and instructs Regional o~ces to use clear, consistent, and science-based standards in reviewing the permits.Detailed information on several Federal and State legislative and regulatory developments considered in AEO2011 is provided below.1. Updated State air emissions regulationsRegional Greenhouse Gas InitiativeThe Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a program that includes 10 Northeast States that have agreed to curtail and reverse growth in their carbon dioxide (CO
| |
| : 2) emissions. The RGGI program includes all electricity generating units with a capacity of at least 25 megawatts and requires an allowance for each ton of CO 2 emitted [
| |
| 9]. The rst year of mandatory compliance was in 2009.Each participating State was provided a CO 2 budget consisting of a history-based baseline with a cushion for emissions growth, so that meeting the cap would be relatively easy initially and become more stringent in subsequent years. The requirements cover 95 percent of CO 2 emissions from the region's electric power sector. Overall, the RGGI States as a whole must maintain covered emissions at or below a level of 188 million tons CO 2 through 2012, after which a mandatory 2.5-percent annual decrease in CO 2 emissions through 2018 reduces the total for covered CO 2 emissions in the RGGI States to 10 percent below the initial calculated budget. Although each State was given its own emissions budget, allowances are auctioned at a uniform price across the entire region.At the most recent RGGI auction in March 2011, 42 million allowances were oered and sold at a clearing price of $1.89 per ton of CO 2 [10], just above the price oor. The previous auction in December 2010 also cleared at the price oor, because total emissions from electricity generators did not grow as anticipated.
| |
| 7U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Legislation and regulationsRGGI's impact on electricity markets is included in the AEO2011 Reference case. Its impact on actual emissions, especially in the early years, is minimal because of its relatively modest reduction targets. Also, it is di~cult to capture the nuances of initiatives that cover only single States or groups of States that do not correspond to the regions used in the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS). Therefore, EIA estimated generation for the Mid-Atlantic region and capped emissions from those facilities. Pennsylvania's emissions were not restricted, because Pennsylvania is an observing member and is not participating in the cap-and-trade program or subject to any mandatory emission reductions.California greenhouse gas reduction programCalifornia is moving forward with its plans to cap and then reverse the growth of State greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. After surviving a challenge on the ballot in November 2010, the mandatory restrictions begin to take eect in January 2012. After the law was passed and signed, a scoping plan was written that outlines the major components of the regulations [
| |
| 11]. In all, there are 21 programs in the law that will mitigate GHG emissions through a variety of mechanisms-from landll methane control to proper tire pressurization programs [
| |
| 12]. While AEO2011 incorporates programs from the law, such as the LCFS and 33-percent RPS-where rules are su~ciently specied to allow modeling in the AEO-other programs, such as the carbon cap-and-trade provisions, are not included either because they do not include su~cient specication of implementing regulations or because they include provisions that cannot be modeled in NEMS.The programs that are expected to generate the highest level of emission reductions are the cap-and-trade system (which is not included in AEO2011) and the 33-percent RPS [
| |
| 13]. The RPS requires investor-owned electricity providers to meet this mandate by 2020. CARB is in charge of the program, although other agencies still have roles in the implementation. The cap-and-trade program is scheduled to begin its rst phase in 2012, covering GHG emissions from electricity (including imports) and large industrial facilities emitting more than 25,000 metric tons CO 2 annually [
| |
| 14]. Allowances are given away initially, but it is assumed that a market will develop in which allowances will trade for a price as demand grows and the number of available allowances shrinks. (The number of available allowances is scheduled to decline by 2 percent per year, starting from 165.8 million metric tons in 2012.) In 2015, distributors of fossil fuels will be added to the program, and the cap will increase to 394.5 metric tons. In the subsequent 5-year period, the cap will decrease by 3 percent annually. In addition to CO 2, the six other most common GHGs emitted (methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexauoride, nitrogen triuoride, hydrouorocarbons, and peruorocarbons) will also fall under the program's jurisdiction.Several issues remain to be resolved, including nalization of the allowance allocation system, implementation of an auction system, and the possibility of a price cap. The exact distribution of the allowance revenue has not been determined nor has the treatment of natural gas as a fuel. This is all information that needs to be dened before the program can be incorporated in the AEO. A goal of the program is to link to other State trading programs, although the status of neighboring States' programs is uncertain. A San Francisco superior court judge also recently ruled that CARB did not conduct adequate environmental reviews or thoroughly explore cap-and-trade alternatives for meeting the reduction goal in Assembly Bill (AB) 32. This may also delay the program's implementation [
| |
| 15].2. State renewable energy requirements and goals: Update through 2010To the extent possible, AEO2011 incorporates the impacts of State laws requiring the addition of renewable generation or capacity by utilities doing business in the States. Currently, 30 States and the District of Columbia have enforceable RPS or similar laws (Table 2). Under such standards, each State determines its own levels of renewable generation, eligible technologies, and noncompliance penalties. AEO2011 includes the impacts of all laws in eect in 2010 (with the exception of Hawaii, because NEMS provides electricity market projections for the continental United States only).
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, States generally meet their ultimate RPS targets. RPS compliance in most regions is approximated, because NEMS is not a State-level model, and each State generally represents only a portion of one of the NEMS electricity regions. Compliance costs in each region are tracked, and the projection for total renewable generation is checked for consistency with any State-level cost-control provisions, such as caps on renewable credit prices, limits on State compliance funding, or impacts on consumer electricity prices. In general, EIA has conrmed each State's requirements through original documentation, although the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & E~ciency (DSIRE) also assisted EIA's eorts [
| |
| 16].No States that did not previously have RPS programs have enacted new renewable generation laws over the past year. States that have made signicant modications to existing laws include the following:
| |
| CaliforniaThrough several executive orders, CARB is now charged with implementing a 33-percent RPS by 2020 as part of the carbon-reduction guidelines originally laid out in AB 32 [
| |
| 17] (see previous section). This standard is a signicant increase from the previous 20-percent version administered by the California Energy Commission and Public Utility Commission. More information can be found in the subsequent section on airborne emission regulations.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 8Legislation and regulationsTable 2. Renewable portfolio standards in the 30 States with current mandatesStateProgram mandate AZArizona Corporate Commission Decision No. 69127 requires 15 percent of electricity sales to be renewable by 2025, with interim goals increasing annually. A specic percentage of the target must be from distributed generation. Multiple credits may be provided to solar generation and systems manufactured in-State.
| |
| CAAs a follow-up from AB 32 and Executive Order S-21-09, the CARB now administers a new RPS that requires 33-percent renewable generation by 2020.
| |
| COEnacted in March 2010, House Bill (HB) 1001 strengthens the State's existing RPS program by requiring 20 percent of electricity generated by investor-owned utilities in 2015 to be renewable, increasing to 30 percent by 2020. There is also a distributed generation requirement. In-State generation receives a 25-percent credit premium.
| |
| CTPublic Act 07-242 mandates a 27-percent renewable sales requirement by 2020, including a 4-percent requirement for sales from higher e~ciency or combined heat and power systems. Of the overall total, 3 percent may be met by waste-to-energy and conventional biomass facilities.
| |
| DESenate Substitute 1 amended Senate Bill 119 to extend the increasing RPS targets to 2025; 25 percent of generation is now required to come from renewable sources in 2025. There is a separate requirement for solar generation (3.5 percent of the total in 2025) and penalty payments for compliance failure. Oshore wind receives 3.5 times the standard credit amount.
| |
| HIHB 1464 sets the renewable mandate at 40 percent by 2030. All existing renewable facilities are eligible to meet the target, which has two interim milestones.
| |
| ILPublic Act 095-0481 created an agency responsible for overseeing the mandate of 25 percent renewable sales by 2025, with escalating annual targets. In addtion, 75 percent of the required sales must be generated from wind and 6 percent from solar. The plan also includes a cap on incremental costs resulting from the penetration of renewable generation. In 2009, the rule was modied to cover sales outside a utility's home territory.
| |
| IAIn 1983, an RPS mandating 105 megawatts of renewable energy capacity was adopted.
| |
| KSIn 2009, HB 2369 established a requirement that 20 percent of installed capacity must use renewable resources by 2020.
| |
| MEIn 2007, Public Law 403 was added to the State's RPS requirements. The law requires a 10-percent increase from the 2006 level of renewable capacity by 2017, and that level must be maintained in subsequent years. The years leading up to 2017 also have new capacity milestones. Generation from eligible community-owned facilities receives a 10-percent credit premium.
| |
| MDIn April 2008, HB 375 revised the preceding RPS to include a target of 20 percent renewable generation by 2022, including a 2-percent solar target. HB 375 also raised penalty payments for "Tier 1" compliance shortfalls to 4 cents per kilowatthour. Senate Bill 277, while preserving 2022 target of 2 percent solar, made the interim solar requirements and penalty payments slightly less stringent.
| |
| MAThe State RPS has a goal of a 15-percent renewable share of total sales by 2020 and includes necessary payments for compliance shortfalls. Eligible biomass is restricted to low-carbon life cycle emission sources. A Solar Carve-Out Program was also added, which seeks to establish 400 megawatts (DC) of solar generating capacity.
| |
| MIPublic Act 295 established an RPS that will require 10 percent renewable generation by 2015. Bonus credits are given to solar energy.
| |
| MNSenate Bill 4 created a 30-percent renewable requirement by 2020 for Xcel, the State's largest supplier, and a 25-percent requirement by 2025 for other suppliers. The 30-percent requirement for Xcel consists of 24 percent that must be from wind, 1 percent that can be from wind or solar, and 5 percent that can be from other resources.
| |
| MOIn November 2008, Missouri voters approved Proposition C, which mandates a 2-percent renewable energy requirement in 2011, increasing incrementally to 15 percent of generation in 2021. Bonus credits are given to renewable generation within the State.
| |
| MTHB 681, approved in April 2008, expanded the State RPS provisions to all suppliers. Initially the law covered only public utilities. A 15-percent share of sales must be renewable by 2015. The State operates a renewable energy credit market.
| |
| NVThe State has an escalating renewable target, established in 1997 and revised in 2005 and again in 2009 by Senate Bill 358. The most recent requirement mandates a 25-percent renewable generation share of sales by 2025. Up to one-fourth of the 25-percent share may be met through e~ciency measures. There is also a minimum requirement for PV systems, which receive bonus credits.
| |
| NHHB 873, passed in May 2007, legislated that 23.8 percent of electricity sales must be met by renewables in 2025. Compliance penalties vary by generation type.

| NJIn 2006, the State RPS was revised to increase renewable energy targets. Renewable generation is to provide 22.5 percent of sales by 2021, with interim targets. AB 3520 requires 5,316 gigawatthours of solar generation by 2026. SB 2036 has a specic oshore wind target of 1,100 megawatts of capacity.(continued on page 9) 9U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Legislation and regulations ColoradoThe State strengthened its existing RPS by requiring that 30 percent of sales be generated from renewable sources by 2020 [
| |
| 18]. Investor-owned qualifying utilities must also provide appropriate incentives so that renewable distributed generation makes up 3percent of total sales [
| |
| 19].DelawareAlthough Delaware's RPS structure remains largely unchanged, Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill 119 extended the targets by an additional 5 years, to 2025. In 2025, 25 percent of sales must be from renewable sources. The solar provisions also are extended, and 3.5 percent of sales must come from electricity generated by solar photovoltaic cells [
| |
| 20].MassachusettsAfter temporarily suspending biomass eligibility on the basis of a study of life-cycle carbon emissions from biomass feedstocks, the Commonwealth changed its RPS to clarify and restrict the sources of biomass that will be eligible to meet its standard [
| |
| 21]. Although the changes attempt to prevent excess CO 2 emissions from biomass generation, there still is much uncertainty about the true carbon footprints of various biomass feedstocks, as well as the future of eligible materials. Also, a Solar Carve-Out Program was added to the State's RPS, requiring additional installations to bring total installed photovoltaic capacity to 400 megawatts
| |
| [22].New JerseyThe State enacted two pieces of legislation aecting its RPS. AB 3520 [
| |
| 23] changed and extended its solar target to require a xed amount of renewable generation rather than a percentage of renewable capacity: 5,316 gigawatthours of generation will be required in 2026. Senate Bill 2036 [
| |
| 24] established an oshore wind target of 1,100 megawatts. However, considerable regulatory uncertainties remain to be resolved.Table 2. Renewable portfolio standards in the 30 States with current mandates (continued)StateProgram mandate NMSenate Bill 418, passed in March 2007, directs investor-owned utilities to derive 20 percent of their sales from renewable generation by 2020. The renewable portfolio must consist of diversied technologies, with wind and solar each accounting for 20 percent of the target. There is a separate standard of 10 percent by 2020 for cooperatives.
| |
| NYThe Public Service Commission issued updated RPS rules in January of 2010, expanding the program to a 29-percent requirement by 2015. There is also a separate end-use standard. The program is administered and funded by the State.
| |
| NCIn 2007, Senate Bill 3 created an RPS of 12.5 percent by 2021 for investor-owned utilities. There is also a 10-percent requirement by 2018 for cooperatives and municipals. Through 2018, 25 percent of the target may be met through e~ciency standards, increasing to 40 percent in later years.
| |
| OHSenate Bill 221, passed in May 2008, requires 25 percent of electricity sales to be produced from alternative energy resources by 2025, including low-carbon and renewable technologies. One-half of the target must come from renewable sources. Municipals and cooperatives are exempt.
| |
| ORSenate Bill 838, signed into law in June 2007, required renewable targets of 25 percent by 2025 for large utilities and 5 to 10 percent by 2025 for smaller utilities. Renewable electricity on line after 1995 is considered eligible.
| |
| PAThe Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard, signed into law in November 2004, has an 18-percent requirement by 2020. Most of the qualifying generation must be renewable, but there is also a provision that allows waste coal resources to receive credits.
| |
| RIThe Renewable Energy Standard was signed into law in 2004. The program requires that 16 percent of total sales be renewable by 2019. The interim program targets escalate more rapidly in later years. If the target is not met, a generator must pay an alternative compliance penalty. State utilities must also procure 90 megawatts of new renewable capacity, including 3 megawatts of solar, by 2014.
| |
| TXSenate Bill 20, passed in August 2005, strengthened the State RPS by mandating 5,880 megawatts of renewable capacity by 2015. There is also a target of 500 megawatts of renewable capacity other than wind.
| |
| WAIn November 2006, Washington voters approved Initiative 937, which species that 15 percent of sales from the State's largest generators must come from renewable sources by 2020. There is an administrative penalty of 5 cents per kilowatthour for noncompliance. Generation from any facility that came on line after 1999 is eligible.
| |
| WVHB 103, passed in June 2009, established a requirement that 25 percent of sales must come from alternative energy resources by 2025. Alternative energy was dened to include various renewables, along with several dierent fossil energy technologies.
| |
| WISenate Bill 459, passed in March 2006, strengthened the State RPS with a requirement that, by 2015, each utility must generate 10 percent of its electricity from renewable resources, up from the previous requirement of 2.2 percent in 2011. The renewable share of total generation must be at least 6 percentage points above the average renewable share from 2001 to 2003.
| |
| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 10Legislation and regulationsNew YorkIn January 2010, the New York Public Service Commission issued new orders expanding the State-funded RPS program [
| |
| 25]. The main-tier program seeks to establish 29 percent renewable generation by 2015, including existing capacity that already meets more than two-thirds of the new mandate. The program will be funded through a limited State fund of $2 billion. Moreover, a supplemental customer-sited tier will increase installations of end-use solar, wind, and anaerobic digester capacity.3. Updates on liquid fuels taxes and tax credits Excise taxes on highway fuelsThe handling of Federal highway fuel taxes in AEO2011 is unchanged from AEO2010. Gasoline is taxed at 18.4 cents per gallon, diesel fuel is taxed at 24.4 cents per gallon, and jet fuel for use in commercial aviation is taxed at 4.4 cents per gallon, as specied in the 2005 Transportation Equity Act [
| |
| 26]. The taxes are not adjusted for ination and remain at the same nominal values through 2035. Although the highway fuel taxes expire in 2011 under current law, their assumed extension is consistent with Federal budgeting procedures which dictate that excise taxes dedicated to a trust fund, if expiring, are assumed to be extended at current rates [
| |
| 27].Federal fuel taxes are the primary source of funding for the Highway Trust Fund, which is used to maintain the interstate highway system as well as mass transit systems. Recent vehicle e~ciency improvements and lower consumer demand have led to shortfalls in the Trust Fund's revenues over the past few years.State fuel taxes are calculated and allocated by Census Region, based on a volume-weighted average of diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel sales. State fuel taxes in AEO2011 are updated to their most recent values (as of June 2010) [
| |
| 28].Tax credits and tariffs for biofuelsIn December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 became law [
| |
| 29]. The law includes an extension through 2011 of the $0.45 per gallon Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit, which was previously set to expire at the end of 2010 as specied in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 [
| |
| 30]. The cellulosic biofuels [
| |
| 31] production tax credit, also specied in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, remains set to expire in January 2013. The credit is $1.01 per gallon, but if applied to cellulosic ethanol it is reduced by the amount of the excise tax credit available to ethanol blends (assumed to be $0.45 per gallon through 2011).In addition, the law includes a retroactive extension (through 2011) of the $1.00 per gallon biodiesel excise tax credit, which had been set to expire in December 2009. The credit applies to biodiesel made from recycled vegetable oils or animals fats and to renewable diesel. The tax package also includes an extension through 2011 of the $0.54 per gallon tari on imported ethanol, which had been set to expire at the end of 2010. Both extensions are included in the AEO2011 Reference case.
| |
| : 4. California Low Carbon Fuel StandardCalifornia's LCFS will be administered by CARB [
| |
| 32]. In general, the regulated parties under the LCFS legislation are fuel producers or importers who sell motor gasoline or diesel fuel in California. The legislation is designed to reduce the carbon intensity of motor gasoline and diesel fuels sold in California by 10 percent between 2012 and 2020 through the increased sale of alternative low-carbon fuels. Each low-carbon fuel has its own carbon intensity, based on life-cycle analyses conducted under the guidance of CARB for a number of approved fuel pathways. The carbon intensities are calculated on an energy-equivalent basis, measured in grams of CO 2-equivalent emissions per megajoule.The AEO2011 Reference case incorporates the California LCFS, using CARB's mandated carbon intensities and approved fuel pathways [
| |
| 33]. Although NEMS is not a State-level model, CARB-mandated gasoline and diesel are modeled separately from other gasoline and diesel sold in the Pacic Census Division 9 (which also includes Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii). In cases where data for California are not available, information from Census Division 9 is used as a proxy. Because CARB has not yet o~cially quantied penalties for LCFS noncompliance, the Reference case incorporates a monetary penalty estimated to encourage compliance, based on relevant provisions in the California Health and Safety Code [
| |
| 34].Carbon intensities provide a measure of complete well-to-wheels or life-cycle emissions of each fuel pathway, including indirect land-use change (ILUC) penalties where applicable [
| |
| 35]. The ILUC penalty is used to account for potential changes in land use as the production of biofuels increases. Because the science behind the ILUC penalty is relatively new and still controversial, potential revisions and updates are expected as the LCFS evolves. For example, AEO2011 assumes that corn ethanol is treated as having 20 percent lower GHG emissions than gasoline.The fuel pathways used in EIA's analysis include existing technologies-such as Midwestern corn ethanol, imported sugarcane ethanol, and soy-based biodiesel-as well as a number of "next-generation" technologies, including cellulosic ethanol and biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuels. Other provisions in the LCFS legislation also allow nonregulated parties, such as electricity and hydrogen producers, to contribute. With the exception of eorts to streamline the development and installation of home charging stations, there does not appear to be any signicant eort at present to promote plug-in vehicles or to enhance public charging stations and other infrastructure.
| |
| 11U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Legislation and regulationsThe LCFS results in the transportation into California of additional renewable fuels produced in other regions or countries. To meet the LCFS gasoline mandate, consumption of motor fuel containing up to 85 percent ethanol (E85) in Census Division 9 increases to more than 2.4 billion gallons in 2020, allowing a larger share of ethanol consumption to contribute to lowering the gasoline carbon intensity. For the diesel mandate, every gallon of CARB diesel contains 20 percent biodiesel (the maximum generally recommended by original equipment manufacturers) by 2017.The largest source of compliant fuel is sugarcane ethanol, imported primarily from Brazil, and biodiesel. Imported sugarcane ethanol has a much lower carbon intensity than domestically produced corn ethanol, primarily as a result of production methods that use fewer fossil fuel inputs. It is assumed that, in the last years of the LCFS program, such next-generation technologies as cellulosic ethanol and BTL will begin to reach the market and make a larger contribution toward meeting the LCFS. The same can be said for LCFS-compliant diesel, which requires the blending of more costly biomass-based diesel fuels.In the later years of the LCFS, gasoline blends with ethanol content greater than E10, such as E85, will be needed for the gasoline mandate to be met. Even if ethanol with the lowest carbon footprint is used in E10 blends, it will not lower the carbon intensity of gasoline su~ciently for the LCFS to be met. Consequently, the amount of E85 available in California is a key factor in determining the mix of fuels with low carbon pathways, such as sugarcane ethanol and cellulosic ethanol, that can be used in meeting the gasoline mandate. For the diesel mandate, a blend of 20 percent biodiesel is already common today, and with the addition of such next-generation technologies as BTL fuels that are potentially "drop-in" fuels usable in existing distribution channels, the mandate can be met without new infrastructure.5. Representing impacts of the U.S. EPA's interim permit review guidelines for surface coal mining operationsIn April 2010, the EPA issued a set of new guidelines to several of its regional o~ces for monitoring the compliance of surface coal mining operations in Appalachia with the provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the National Environmental Policy Act, and the environmental justice Executive Order (E.O. 12898) [
| |
| 36]. The stated purpose of the guidance was to explain more fully the approach that the EPA will be following in permit reviews and to provide additional assurance that its regional o~ces use clear, consistent, and science-based standards in reviewing the permits. Although the new guidelines went into eect immediately, they were subjected to review both by the public and by the EPA's Science Advisory Board, with a set of nal guidelines to be issued in the spring of 2011.Issuance of the new EPA guidelines is related primarily to the ongoing controversy over use of the mountaintop removal method at a number of surface coal mining operations in Central Appalachia-primarily in southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. Although the guidelines propose a more rigorous review for all new surface coal mines in Appalachia, the EPA indicates that the practice of valley lls, primarily associated with the mountaintop removal method, is the aspect of Appalachian coal mining that will be most scrutinized. In particular, the EPA points to new scientic evidence that dissolved solids in drainage from existing valley lls in Central Appalachia are adversely aecting downstream aquatic systems.Although the proposed use of valley lls at mining sites will not necessarily preclude the issuance of permits for surface mines under Sections 402 and 404 of the CWA, the EPA guidelines recommend that all practicable eorts be made to minimize their use. Section 402 of the CWA pertains to the issuance of National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits. Section 404 relates to the issuance of permits for the discharge of dredge or ll material into the waters of the United States, including wetlands. Issuance of Section 404 permits comes under the authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers but is subject to EPA oversight.Two recent actions by the EPA related to its review of Section 404 permits for proposed mountaintop mining operations in West Virginia indicate the Agency's heightened concern with regard to valley lls. In January 2010, the EPA announced its approval for the issuance of a Section 404 permit for Patriot Coal's proposed Hobet 45 mountaintop mining operation. The EPA indicated that the company was able to eliminate the need for any valley lls and, as a result, reduce the estimated adverse downstream impact by 50 percent.In contrast, in January 2011, the EPA issued a nal determination eectively denying a Section 404 permit for Arch Coal Company's Spruce No. 1 mountaintop mining operation, which would have resulted in the burial of 6.6 miles of headwater streams under the spoil of four separate valley lls [
| |
| 37]. Although a Section 404 permit for the mine was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in January 2007, the EPA indicated that additional information had been obtained since then about its earlier concerns related to the project. The EPA indicated that its action to deny four of the six valley lls proposed for the Spruce No. 1 mine would protect not only wildlife in the parts of streams directly aected by the proposed mining operation but also the aquatic wildlife communities downstream from the project site. As was the case with the Hobet 45 mine, the EPA requested that Arch Coal submit possible corrective actions to the Spruce No. 1 mine plan to mitigate environmental impacts. Primarily on the basis of economic considerations, Arch Coal declined to oer additional changes to the proposed plan for the mine.
| |
| In AEO2011, the impact of the EPA's April 2010 guidelines for surface coal mining operations is represented by downward adjustments to the coal mining productivity assumptions for Central Appalachian surface mines (Figure 5), resulting in slightly higher estimated production costs for the region and mine type. The assumed productivity levels for Central Appalachian surface mines are roughly 15 to 20 percent lower than those that would have been used for a case without the EPA's new permit review guidelines. The revised productivity levels are based on the assumption that large surface mining operations will decline gradually toward the productivity levels for smaller surface mines in the region as a result of the more restrictive guidelines for overburden management at large U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 12Legislation and regulationsmountaintop mining operations. No adjustments were made to the productivity assumptions for other Appalachian supply regions in response to the new EPA permit review guidelines, because few if any surface mining operations in other regions employ the mountaintop removal method.6. EPA approval of E15 waiverIn October 2010, the EPA approved a waiver for the use of motor gasoline blends containing up to 15 percent ethanol (E15) in MY 2007 and newer vehicles-an increase over the 10 percent ethanol limit (E10) set in 1978 [
| |
| 38]. In January 2011, the EPA extended the waiver to vehicles manufactured in years 2001-2006 [
| |
| 39]. That change was incorporated in the modeling for AEO2011.Although the EPA's January 2011 ruling will allow the use of E15 blend in approximately 60 percent of the current vehicle eet, there are issues that may limit its widespread adoption:Retailers must justify the signicant costs of upgrading pumps and storage tanks while weighing the prospects for increased liability and uncertain consumer acceptance. Because the majority of U.S. service stations are "pay at the pump," there is concern about potential liability for engine damage resulting from consumer misfueling in motor vehicles not approved for E15 use, as well as in small engine applications. In addition, much of the retail outlet infrastructure for blends containing more than 10 percent ethanol lacks Underwriter Laboratory certication, creating concerns about the costs of any equipment malfunctions.In addition to liability issues, infrastructure costs in the form of blender pumps and additional storage tanks could deter retailers from choosing to oer a higher ethanol blend. Most service stations use two storage tanks, one containing a regular E10 blend and the other a premium blend. Adding a higher E15 blend could force service station owners either to add an additional tank and modied pumps or to stop oering E10 gasoline blends or protable premium-grade fuels.Retailers may be unwilling to commit to E15 in the short term, because consumer acceptance is uncertain. Warning labels about possible engine damage could dampen consumer demand, despite educational eorts.To examine the potential impacts of high and low penetration of E15 fuel in retail markets, two sensitivity cases were compared with the AEO2011 Reference case. In the High E15 case, ethanol blending above 10 percent occurs earlier in the projection and increases more rapidly than in the Reference case. The High E15 case also assumes that any State which currently has laws or regulations prohibiting ethanol blends above 10 percent or oxygenate content in excess of 3.5 percent will remove those restrictions by 2015. As a result, ethanol use for gasoline blending increases to 18.1 billion gallons in 2015, compared with 15.8 billion gallons in the Reference case, and to 21.2 billion gallons in 2020, compared with 17.8 billion gallons in the Reference case.Most of the additional ethanol needed to meet increased demand in the High E15 case is corn ethanol produced domestically,with cellulosic ethanol and imported ethanol beginning to make larger contributions after 2020. Ethanol blending increases to 14.5 percent of the motor gasoline pool in 2020-compared with 12.4 percent in the Reference case-and to 14.8 percent in 2035.In the Low E15 case, the results are similar to those in the Reference case, and many of the infrastructure and regulatory barriers reected in the Reference case govern the dynamics in the Low E15 case. Ethanol blending in the Low E15 case never rises above 11.5 percent of the motor gasoline pool and is 11.4 percent in 2035. Total ethanol supply in 2020 is almost 2 billion gallons less than in the Reference case, but with E85 consumption increasing at a faster rate after 2020, it reaches levels similar to those in the Reference case. In 2035, E85 use in the Low E15 case totals about 12 billion gallons, or 2 billion gallons more than in the Reference case. In both cases, total ethanol supply in 2035 is approximately 28 billion gallons.Rapid increases in E85 consumption in the Reference, High E15, and Low E15 cases indicate the importance for ethanol producers of E85 availability after the motor gasoline blending pool has been saturated, even with an increase to a 15-percent limit for ethanol blends. Growth in E85 consumption is aected by the level of demand for ethanol in gasoline blends, particularly in the High E15 case. Because most of the growth in ethanol use for blending occurs in the near term in the High E15 case, growth in E85 use begins later (in 2024) than in the Reference and Low E15 cases (2016).While more ethanol blended into gasoline reduces its energy content and often the miles per gallon of the vehicle using it, AEO2011 assumes that only E85 will be priced at a discount for its lower energy content. E10 and E15 are assumed to compete for demand on price alone. Nevertheless, the ability to switch out volumes of E85 with E15 can be expected to aect gasoline pricing. When E15 penetration is high, gasoline prices are lower, because more of the less expensive blend stock (ethanol) is used. In addition, there is less need to encourage E85 demand by subsidizing infrastructure cost 0 2 4 6 1980 1990 2000 2009 2015 2025 2035AEO2011AEO2010HistoryProjections 2009Figure 5. Surface coal mining productivity in Central Appalachia, 1980-2035 (short tons per miner per hour) 13U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Legislation and regulationsand E85 prices with higher gasoline prices. With low penetration the opposite is true: gasoline prices are higher, because more cost recovery is needed for E85 marketing and infrastructure, and less ethanol is available for blending.7. Mandates for low-sulfur heating oil in the NortheastDuring 2010, Connecticut [
| |
| 40], Maine [
| |
| 41], New Jersey [
| |
| 42], and New York [
| |
| 43] passed legislation to reduce the maximum allowable sulfur content of heating oil sold in their markets. Pennsylvania proposed a similar law, but it was not approved. Connecticut and Maine will begin regulating maximum sulfur content by mid-2011, with Connecticut reducing the maximum to 50 parts per million (ppm) and Maine reducing the maximum to 15 ppm. The Connecticut law includes a second reduction to 15 ppm in 2014. Connecticut and Maine also put in place requirements for 2-percent biodiesel content in heating oil, starting in mid-2011. The New Jersey legislation reduces the maximum sulfur content to 500 ppm in 2014 and includes a second reduction to 15 ppm in 2016. New York reduced the maximum sulfur content to 15 ppm starting in 2012. The new laws in each of the four States are included in AEO2011.On February 1, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy also announced plans to convert the inventory of almost 2 million barrels in the Northeast Heating Oil Reserve to cleaner burning ultra-low-sulfur distillate. The rst phase of this transition was the sale of the 2 million barrels of heating oil in February 2011. The receipts from those sales will be used to purchase ultra-low-sulfur heating oil to rell the reserve before the 2011-2012 heating oil season begins.

| THIS PAGE IN TEN TIONALLY LEF T BLANK Issues in focus U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 18 Issues in focusIntroductionThe "Issues in focus" section of the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) provides an in-depth discussion on topics of special interest, including signicant changes in assumptions and recent developments in technologies for energy production and consumption. Detailed quantitative results are available in Appendix D. The rst topic updates a discussion included in the Annual Energy Outlook 2010 (AEO2010) that compared the results of two cases with dierent assumptions about the future course of existing energy policies. One case assumes the elimination of sunset provisions in existing energy policies; that is, the policies are assumed not to sunset as they would under current law. The other case assumes the extension of a selected group of existing policies-corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards, appliance standards, and production tax credits (PTCs)-in addition to the elimination of sunset provisions.Other topics include (2) a discussion of projected trends in world oil supply and prices based on assumed changes in demand from countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) or in the availability of oil supply from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC); (3) an examination of the potential impacts of proposed revisions to CAFE standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs); (4) potential impacts of proposed CAFE standards for heavy-duty trucks; (5) potential impacts of a series of updates to e~ciency standards for residential and commercial appliances, alone or in combination with revised building codes; (6) an analysis of potential impacts on natural gas and crude oil production of expanded drilling in U.S. oshore elds; (7) prospects for shale gas; (8) the impacts of cost uncertainty on the construction of new electric power plants; (9) the economics of carbon capture and storage; and (10) the impacts of proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations in the electric power sector.The topics explored in this section represent current and emerging issues in energy markets; but many of the topics discussed in AEOs published in recent years also remain relevant today. Table 3 provides a list of titles from the 2010, 2009, and 2008 AEO s that are likely to be of interest to today's readers-excluding topics that are updated in AEO2011. The articles listed in Table 3 can be found on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA's) website at www.eia.gov/analysis/reports.cfm?t=128

| .1. No Sunset and Extended Policies casesBackgroundThe Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) Reference case is best described as a "current laws and regulations" case, because it generally assumes that existing laws and current regulations will remain unchanged throughout the projection period, unless the legislation establishing them sets a sunset date or species how they will change. The Reference case often serves as a starting point for the analysis of proposed legislative or regulatory changes. While the denition of the Reference case is relatively straightforward, there may be considerable interest in a variety of alternative cases that reect the updating or extension of current laws and regulations. In that regard, areas of particular interest include:Laws or regulations that have a history of being extended beyond their legislated sunset dates. Examples include the various tax credits for renewable fuels and technologies, which have been extended with or without modications several times since their initial implementation.Laws or regulations that call for the periodic updating of initial specications. Examples include appliance e~ciency standards issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and CAFE and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for vehicles issued by National Highway Tra~c Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the EPA.Laws or regulations that allow or require the appropriate regulatory agency to issue new or revised regulations under certain conditions. Examples include the numerous provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA) that require the EPA to issue or revise regulations if it nds that an environmental quality target is not being met.Table 3.

No attempt is made to cover the full range of possible uncertainties in these areas, and readers should not view the cases discussed as EIA projections of how laws or regulations might or should be changed.
| |
| Analysis casesThe two cases prepared-the No Sunset case and Extended Policies case-incorporate all the assumptions from the AEO2011 Reference case, except as identied below. Changes from the Reference case assumptions in these cases include the following.
| |
| No Sunset caseExtension of tax credits for renewable energy sources in the utility, industrial, and buildings sectors and for energy-e~cient equipment in the buildings sector, including:
| |
| -The PTC of 2.1 cents per kilowatthour or the 30-percent investment tax credit (ITC) available for wind, geothermal, biomass, hydroelectric, and landll gas resources, currently set to expire at the end of 2012 for wind and 2013 for the other eligible resources, are assumed to be extended indenitely.
| |
| -For solar power investment, a 30-percent ITC that is scheduled to revert to a 10-percent credit in 2016 is, instead, assumed to be extended indenitely at 30 percent.
| |
| -In the buildings sector, tax credits for the purchase of energy-e~cient equipment, including PV in new houses, are assumed to be extended indenitely, as opposed to ending in 2010 or 2016 as prescribed by current law. The business ITCs for commercial-sector generation technologies and geothermal heat pumps are assumed to be extended indenitely, as opposed to expiring in 2016; and the business ITC for solar systems is assumed to remain at 30 percent instead of reverting to 10 percent.
| |
| -In the industrial sector, the ITC for combined heat and power (CHP) that ends in 2016 in the AEO2011 Reference case is assumed to be extended through 2035.Extension through 2035 of the $0.45 per gallon blender's tax credit for ethanol (set to expire at the end of 2011).Extension through 2035 of the $1.00 per gallon biodiesel excise tax credit (set to expire at the end of 2011).Extension through 2035 of the $0.54 per gallon tari on imported ethanol (set to expire at the end of 2011).Extension through 2035 of the PTC for cellulosic biofuels of up to $1.01 per gallon (set to expire at the end of 2012).
| |
| Extended Policies caseWith the exception of the blender's and other biofuel tax credits, the Extended Policies case adopts the same assumptions as in the No Sunset case, plus the following:Federal equipment e~ciency standards are updated at particular intervals consistent with the provisions in the existing law, with the levels based on ENERGY STAR specications, or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) purchasing guidelines for Federal agencies. Standards are also introduced for products that currently are not subject to Federal e~ciency standards.Updated Federal residential and commercial building energy codes reach 30-percent improvement in 2020 relative to the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) in the residential sector and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Building Energy Code 90.1-2004 in the commercial sector. Two subsequent rounds in 2023 and 2026 each add an assumed 5-percent incremental improvement to building energy codes.The equipment standards and building codes assumed for the Extended Policies case are meant to illustrate the potential eects of these polices on energy consumption for buildings. No cost-benet analysis or evaluation of impacts on consumer welfare was completed in developing the assumptions. Likewise, no technical feasibility analysis was conducted, although standards were not allowed to exceed "maximum technologically feasible" levels described in DOE's technical support documents.The Extended Policies case modies the Reference case by assuming a 3-percent annual increase in fuel economy standards for new LDVs from model year (MY) 2017 through MY 2025, with subsequent CAFE standards held constant. CAFE standards for LDVs increase from 34.1 miles per gallon (mpg) in MY 2016 to 46.0 mpg in MY 2025.The AEO2011 Reference case and Extended Policies case include both the attribute-based CAFE standards for LDVs for MY 2011 and the joint attribute-based CAFE and vehicle GHG emissions standards for MY 2012 to MY 2016. However, the Reference case assumes that LDV CAFE standards increase to 35 miles per gallon by MY 2020, as called for in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA2007). CAFE standards are then held constant in subsequent model years, although the fuel economy of new LDVs continues to rise modestly over time.The extensions of the blender's and all biofuels excise tax credits and import taris through 2035 adopted in the No Sunset case are not included in the Extended Policies case. The renewable fuels standard (RFS) enacted in EISA2007 is an alternative instrument for stimulating demand for biofuels. It already is represented in the AEO2010 Reference case, and it tends to be the binding driver on biofuels rather than the tax credits.
| |
| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 20 Issues in focusIn the industrial sector, CHP tax credits are extended to cover all system sizes rather than applying only to systems under 50megawatts, and the maximum credit (cap) is increased from $15,000 to $25,000 per system. These extensions are consistent with previously proposed or pending legislation.Analysis resultsThe changes made to Reference case assumptions in the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases generally lead to lower estimates for overall energy consumption, increased use of renewable fuels, particularly for electricity generation, and reduced energy-related carbon dioxide (CO
| |
| : 2) emissions. Because the Extended Policies case includes most of the assumptions in the No Sunset case but adds others, the impacts in the Extended Policies case tend to be greater than those in the No Sunset case. Although these cases show lower energy prices-because the tax credits and end-use efficiency standards lead to lower energy demand and reduce the cost of renewable fuels-consumers spend more on appliances that are more efficient in order to comply with the tighter appliance standards, and the Government receives lower tax revenues as consumers and businesses take advantage of the tax credits.
| |
| Energy consumptionTotal energy consumption in the No Sunset case is close to the level in the Reference case (Figure 6). Improvements in energy e~ciency lead to slightly reduced consumption in this case, despite somewhat lower energy prices.Total energy consumption in the Extended Policies case, which assumes the issuance of more stringent e~ciency standards for end-use equipment and LDVs in the future, is lower than in the Reference case. In 2035, total energy consumption in the Extended Policies case is nearly 7 percent below the projection in the Reference case. As an example of individual end uses, the assumed future standard for residential electric water heating, which requires installation of heat pumps starting in 2021, has the potential to reduce their electricity use by 50 percent from the Reference case level in 2035. Overall, delivered energy use in the buildings sector in 2035 is 8.5 percent lower in the Extended Policies case than in the Reference case.Transportation energy consumptionThe Extended Policies case modies the Reference case by assuming a 3-percent annual increase in the stringency of CAFE standards for MY 2017 to MY 2025, with subsequent standards held constant. The LDV CAFE standards in the Extended Policies case increase from 34.1 mpg in 2016 to 46.0 mpg in 2025, as compared with 35.6 mpg in the Reference case. Sales of unconventional vehicles (including those that use diesel, alternative fuels, and/or hybrid electric systems) play a substantial role in meeting the higher fuel economy standards, growing to around 70 percent of new LDV sales in 2035, compared with about 40 percent in the Reference case.As a result of more stringent CAFE standards, LDV energy consumption declines in the Extended Policies case, from 16.1 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) (8.6 million barrels per day) in 2009 to 14.8 quadrillion Btu (8.3 million barrels per day) in 2025 and 14.4 quadrillion Btu (8.1 million barrels per day) in 2035-representing a 10-percent reduction from the Reference case in 2025 and a 19-percent reduction in 2035 (Figure 7). Liquid fuel consumption in the transportation sector continues to grow in the Extended Policies case, from 13.6million barrels per day in 2009 to 14.1 million in 2025 and 14.2 million in 2035, but at a slower rate than in the Reference case. Cumulative consumption of liquid fuel for transportation between 2017 and 2035 drops by 6.5 billion barrels, or 6 percent, in comparison with the Reference case.

Total liquid fuels consumption for transportation in three cases, 2005-2035 (million barrels per day) 21U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focus Renewable electricity generationThe extension of tax credits for renewables through 2035 would, over the long run, lead to more rapid growth in renewable generation than projected in the Reference case. When the renewable tax credits are extended without extending energy e~ciency standards, as is assumed in the No Sunset case, there is a signicant increase in renewable generation in 2035 relative to the Reference case projection (Figure 8). Extending both renewable tax credits and energy e~ciency standards results in more modest growth in renewable generation, because renewable generation in the near term is a signicant source of new generation to meet load growth, and enhanced energy e~ciency standards tend to reduce overall electricity consumption and the need for new generation resources.In the Reference case, growth in renewable generation accounts for 26 percent of total generation growth from 2009 to 2035. In the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases, growth in renewable generation accounts for 36 to 38 percent of total generation growth. In 2035, the share of total electricity generation accounted for by renewables is 14 percent in the Reference case, as compared with 16 percent in the No Sunset case and the Extended Policies case.In all three cases, the most rapid growth in renewable capacity occurs in the near term. After that, the growth slows through 2020 before picking up again. Before 2015, ample supplies of renewable energy in relatively favorable resource areas (such as windy lands or accessible geothermal sites), combined with the Federal incentives, make renewable generation competitive with conventional sources. With slow growth in electricity demand and the addition of capacity stimulated by renewable incentives before 2015, little new capacity is needed between 2015 and 2020. In addition, in some regions, attractive low-cost renewable resources already have been exploited, leaving only less favorable sites that may require significant investment in transmission as well as other additional infrastructure costs. Starting around 2020, significant new sources of renewable generation also appear on the market as a result of cogeneration at biorefineries built primarily to produce renewable liquid fuels to meet the Federal RFS, where combustion of waste products to produce electricity is an economically attractive option.After 2020, renewable generation in the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases increases more rapidly than in the Reference case, and as a result generation from nuclear and fossil fuels is reduced from the levels in the Reference case (Figure 9). Natural gas represents the largest source of displaced generation. In 2035, electricity generation from natural gas is 8 percent lower in the No Sunset case and 16 percent lower in the Extended Policies case than in the Reference case.Energy-related CO 2 emissionsIn the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases, lower overall energy demand leads to lower levels of energy-related CO 2 emissions than in the Reference case. The Extended Policies case shows much larger emissions reductions than the No Sunset and Reference cases, in part, due to the inclusion of a tighter CAFE policy for transportation. From 2012 to 2035, energy-related CO 2 emissions are reduced by a cumulative total of 5.2 billion metric tons (a 3.7-percent reduction over the period) in the Extended Policies case from the Reference case projection, as compared with 0.7 billion metric tons (a 0.5-percent reduction over the period) in the No Sunset case (Figure 10). The increase in fuel economy assumed for new LDVs in the Extended Policies case leads to nearly one-half the total reduction in CO 2 emissions in the Reference case projection by 2035. The balance of the reduction in CO 2 emissions is due to greater e~ciency improvement in appliances and increased penetration of renewable of electricity generation.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 22 Issues in focusThe majority of the emissions reductions in the No Sunset case are the result of increases in electricity generation from renewable fuels. By convention, emissions associated with the combustion of biomass for electricity generation are not counted, because they are assumed to be balanced by carbon uptake when the feedstock is grown. A small reduction in transportation sector emissions in the No Sunset case is counterbalanced by an increase in emissions from reneries during the production of synthetic fuels that receive tax credits. Relatively small incremental reductions in emissions are attributable to renewables in the Extended Policies case, mainly because electricity demand is lower than in the Reference case, reducing the consumption of all fuels used for generation, including biomass.In the residential sector, in both the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases, water heating, space cooling, and space heating together account for most of the emissions reductions from Reference case levels. In the commercial sector, only the Extended Policies case sees substantial emission reductions in those categories.Energy prices and tax credit paymentsWith lower levels of overall energy use and more consumption of renewable fuels in the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases, energy prices are lower than in the Reference case. In 2035, natural gas wellhead prices are $0.21 per thousand cubic feet (3 percent) and $0.60 per thousand cubic feet (9 percent) lower in the No Sunset and Extended Policies cases, respectively, than in the Reference case (Figure 11), and electricity prices are 2 percent and 6 percent lower than in the Reference case (Figure 12).The reductions in energy consumption and CO 2 emissions in the Extended Policies case require additional equipment costs to consumers and revenue reductions for the U.S. Government. From 2011 to 2035, residential and commercial consumers spend an additional $11 billion per year (in real 2009 dollars) on average for newly purchased end-use equipment, distributed generation systems, and residential building shell improvements in the Extended Policies case than in the Reference case. On the other hand, they save an average of $29 billion per year on their energy bills.Tax credits paid to consumers in the buildings sector in the Extended Policies case average $14 billion (real 2009 dollars) more per year than in the Reference case. In comparison, revenue reductions as a result of tax credits in the buildings sector average $1 billion more per year over the same period than in the Reference case. However, 60 percent of the revenue reductions in the Reference case occur by 2016 when most of the tax credits are scheduled to expire.The largest response to Federal PTC incentives for new renewable generation is seen in the No Sunset case, with extension of the PTC resulting in annual average reductions in Government tax revenues of approximately $730 million over the 2011 to 2035 period, as compared with $230 0 2 4

Additional reductions in Government tax revenue in the No Sunset case result from extensions of both the ethanol and biodiesel blenders tax credits and the cellulosic biofuels PTC, with annual average tax revenue reductions over the period from 2011 to 2035 of $3.1 billion per year (2009 dollars) in comparison with the Reference case.2. World oil price and production trends in AEO2011The world oil price is represented in AEO2011 as the price of light, low-sulfur crude oil delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma. Projections of future supply and demand are made for "liquids." The term "liquids" refers to conventional petroleum liquids, such as conventional crude oil, natural gas plant liquids, and renery gain, in addition to unconventional liquids, such as biofuels, bitumen, coal-to-liquids (CTL), coal- and biomass-to-liquids, gas-to-liquids (GTL), extra-heavy oils, and oil shale (derived from kerogen).World oil prices are inuenced by a number of factors, some of which have mainly short-term impacts. Others, such as expectations about world oil demand and OPEC production decisions, aect prices in the longer term. Supply and demand in the world oil market are balanced through responses to price movements, and the factors underlying expectations for supply and demand are both numerous and complex. The key factors determining long-term expectations for oil supply, demand, and prices can be summarized in four broad categories: the economics of non-OPEC conventional liquids supply; OPEC investment and production decisions; the economics of unconventional liquids supply; and world demand for liquids.In 2010, the "prompt month contract" for crude oil (the contract for the nearest month's trading) remained relatively steady from January to November, at a monthly average between $74 and $84 per barrel (2009 dollars), before increasing to just over $89 per barrel in December [
| |
| 44].Long-term prospects In past AEOs, High Oil Price and Low Oil Price cases have been used to explore the potential impacts of changes in world liquids supply on world (and U.S.) oil markets as a result of either OPEC production decisions or changes in economic access to non-OPEC resources. In AEO2011, the High Oil Price and Low Oil Price cases have been expanded to incorporate alternative assumptions about liquids supply, economic developments, and liquids demand as key price determinants. The assumed price paths in the AEO2011 High and Low Oil Price cases bracket a broad range of possible future world oil price paths, with prices in 2035 (in real 2009 dollars) at $200 per barrel in the High Oil Price case and $50 per barrel in the Low Oil Price case, as compared with $125 in the Reference case (Figure 13). This is by no means the full range of possible future oil price paths.Reference caseThe global oil market projections in the AEO2011 Reference case are based on the assumption that current practices, politics, and levels of access will continue in the near to mid-term. The Reference case assumes that continued robust economic growth in the non-OECD nations, including China, India, and Brazil, will more than oset relatively tepid growth projected for many OECD nations. In the Reference case, non-OECD liquids consumption is about 25 million barrels per day higher in 2035 than it was in 2009, but OECD consumption grows by less than 3million barrels per day over the same period. Total liquids consumption grows to 103 million barrels per day by 2030 and 111 million barrels per day by 2035.The AEO2011 Reference case assumes that limitations on economic access to resources in many areas restrain the growth of non-OPEC conventional liquids production over the projection period and that OPEC production meets a relatively constant share of about 40 percent of total world liquids supply. With those constraining factors, satisfying the growing world demand for liquids in coming decades requires production from higher cost resources, particularly for non-OPEC producers with technically challenging supply projects. In the Reference case, the increased cost of non-OPEC supplies and a constant OPEC market share combine to support average increases in real world oil prices of about 5.2 percent per year from 2009 to 2020 and 1.0 percent from 2020 to 2035. In 2035, the average real price of crude oil in the Reference case is $125 per barrel in 2009 dollars.Increases in non-OPEC production in the Reference case come primarily from high-cost conventional projects in areas with inconsistent scal or political regimes and from increasingly expensive unconventional liquids projects that are made economical by rising oil prices and advances in production technology (Figure 14). Oil sands production in Canada and biofuels production mostly from the United States and Brazil are the most important components of the world's unconventional resources, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the projected incremental supply between 2009 and 2035 in the Reference case.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 24 Issues in focusLow Oil Price cases In earlier AEOs, the Low Oil Price case assumed that significantly improved access to resources and the willingness of OPEC members to increase their market share would result in low prices and ample supplies, leading to strong increases in demand over the long term. For AEO2011, the Low Oil Price case has been changed to one in which relatively low demand for liquids, combined with greater economic access to and production of conventional resources, results in sustained low oil prices. In particular, the new Low Oil Price case focuses on demand in non-OECD countries, where uncertainty about future growth is much higher than in the OECD nations. The AEO2011 Low Oil Price case assumes that world oil prices fall steadily after 2011 to about $50 per barrel in 2030 and stabilize at that level through 2035, and that relatively low gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the non-OECD countries, compared to the Reference case, keeps their liquids demand at relatively low levels. Average annual GDP growth in the non-OECD nations is assumed to be 1.5 percentage points lower than in the Reference case, or about 3.6 percent on average. The result is that non-OECD demand for liquids in 2035 is 15 million barrels per day lower than would have been projected in previous AEOs, as represented in the AEO2011 Traditional Low Oil Price case. Total world liquids consumption rises to only 108 million barrels per day in 2035 in the AEO2011 Low Oil Price case.In both the Low Oil Price case and the Traditional Low Oil Price case, low prices limit the development of relatively expensive unconventional supplies. Thus, the volumes of unconventional production supplied are the same in the two cases (Figure 15). Similarly, there is only a modest dierence between the volumes of non-OPEC conventional liquids supplies in the two cases. In contrast, OPEC conventional liquids supplies, which increase by about 28 million barrels per day in the Traditional Low Oil Price case, increase by only about 15 million barrels per day in the Low Oil Price case.High Oil Price cases In the AEO2011 High Oil Price case, high demand for liquids, combined with more constrained supply availability, results in a sharp, continued increase in world oil prices. As in the Low Oil Price case, GDP growth is used as a proxy for liquids demand growth in the non-OECD nations. Annual GDP growth in non-OECD nations is assumed to be 1.0 percentage points higher in the High Oil Price case than in the Reference case, or 5.7 percent on average. Coupled with more constrained supply, oil prices increase to $200 per barrel in 2035 as a consequence. Despite the higher prices, however, total world liquids consumption grows to 115 million barrels per day in the High Oil Price case, or 4 million barrels per day higher than in the Reference case. In contrast, in the Traditional High Oil Price case, only world liquids supply strategies are assumed to result in higher oil prices and tight supplies, which constrain increases in demand over the long term.In both the High Oil Price case and the Traditional High Oil Price case, high prices and restrictions on the production of lower cost conventional liquids encourage the development of relatively expensive unconventional supplies. The outlook is similar in the two cases, with about 20 million barrels per day of unconventional resources brought to market in 2035. Non-OPEC liquids supplies are slightly higher in the High Oil Price case than in the Traditional High Oil Price case, but the largest dierence between the two cases is in conventional OPEC supplies. The High Oil Price case assumes that OPEC will increase production to maximize revenues, because demand in non-OECD nations is not dampened by high prices. In this case, OPEC conventional liquids supplies increase by almost 8 million barrels per day from 2009 to 2035, as compared with a decline of 2 million barrels per day in the Traditional High Oil Price case.

Increasing light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards for model years 2017 to 2025EPA Notice of Intent to conduct a joint rulemakingIn September 2010, the EPA and NHTSA issued a Notice of Intent to issue a proposed rule that will set GHG emissions and fuel economy standards for LDVs for MY 2017 through MY 2025 [
| |
| 45]. The LDV standards cover both passenger cars and light trucks. The notice provides an initial GHG emissions assessment for several potential levels of stringency, representing decreases of 3, 4, 5, and 6 percent per year in GHG emissions and corresponding increases in mpg equivalent fuel e~ciency levels from the MY 2016 eetwide average of 250 grams per mile. For each level of stringency, four technological pathways were analyzed, corresponding to dierent penetration mixes of advanced gasoline technologies, vehicle mass reductions, and advanced hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and plug-in electric vehicles.The four technological pathways were not meant as requirements but were used to show that the potential levels of stringency examined by the EPA and NHTSA are technically feasible. Although the notice provided an initial evaluation of a potential range of increases in stringency, it recognized that much more technological and economic analysis would be needed before a specic standard could be released. The EPA and NHTSA expect to release a proposed rulemaking in September 2011 and to issue a nal rulemaking by July 2012.

| Sensitivity casesTwo sensitivity cases were used to analyze the impacts of more stringent GHG emissions and fuel economy standards on LDVs in MY 2017 through MY 2025. Fuel economy and GHG emissions standards for MY 2011 through MY 2016 have been promulgated already as nal rulemakings, and are already represented in the Reference case; they were, therefore, not modied in these sensitivity cases.The CAFE 3% Growth (CAFE3) case is a modied Reference case that assumes a 3-percent annual increase in fuel economy standards for MY 2017 through MY 2025 LDVs, starting from the levels for MY 2016 LDVs, with the subsequent post-MY 2025 standards held constant. In 2025, the combined LDV fuel economy standard, at 46.1 mpg, is 29 percent higher than the standard assumed in the AEO2011 Reference case. The CAFE 6% Growth (CAFE6) case assumes a 6-percent annual increase in fuel economy standards for new LDVs from MY 2016 levels for MY 2017 through MY 2025, with the subsequent standards held constant. In 2025, the LDV fuel economy standard, at 59.3 mpg, is 66 percent higher than the standard assumed in the Reference case (Figure 16). For new passenger cars, the fuel economy standard in 2025 is 40.4 mpg in the Reference case, 53.5 mpg in the CAFE3 case, and 75.4 mpg in the CAFE6 case. For new light-duty trucks, the fuel economy standard in 2025 is 29.7 mpg in the Reference case, 38.1 mpg in the CAFE3 case, and 45.5 mpg in the CAFE6 case.The standards enacted for MY 2011 through 2016 are attribute-based, using vehicle footprint, and allow credits for alternative technologies and fuels to be applied toward compliance. The Notice of Intent for MY 2017 through 2025 does not address the type of attribute standard that would be employed or the structure of credits allowed toward compliance. The sensitivity cases examined here assume a continuation of the current footprint-based attribute standards, as well as credit banking.

| ResultsIn view of the substantial rate of fuel economy improvement required, compliance with the more stringent CAFE standards cases would require a rapid increase in sales of unconventional vehicles (those that use diesel, alternative fuels, and/or hybrid electric systems) and signicant improvement in the fuel economy of conventional vehicles that continue to rely solely on gasoline spark-ignited engines for motive power (Table 4). Such rapid changes are likely to challenge the nancial, engineering, and production capabilities of the automotive industry. In addition, increased costs for vehicles that employ technologies unfamiliar to consumers could result in lower new vehicle sales relative to the Reference case.Although this analysis does not address those potential issues, it does project the levels of market penetration by unconventional vehicles and advanced technologies that would be needed for compliance with the more stringent standards, and it estimates the costs of compliance given Reference case assumptions for technology e~ciency improvement and cost. The resulting impacts on new LDV sales, stocks, energy demand, and CO 2 emissions are discussed below.Sales of unconventional vehicles, which will be critical to achieving the required fuel economy improvements, are projected to grow to 70 percent of total new LDV sales in 2025 ReferenceCAFE3CAFE6 0 20 40 60 80 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035Figure 16.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 26 Issues in focusin the CAFE3 case and nearly 90 percent in the CAFE6 case, as compared with 40 percent in the Reference case. In the CAFE3 case, the largest increases in new sales market shares are among hybrid electric, diesel, and micro hybrid systems in conventional gasoline vehicles (Figure 17), all of which are more fuel e~cient than their conventional gasoline counterparts. The increase in hybrid and diesel vehicle sales displaces sales of both conventional gasoline and ex-fuel vehicles. The more stringent standards in the CAFE6 case cause an even greater reduction in conventional gasoline and ex-fuel vehicle sales, signicantly expanding the market adoption of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles, which are more fuel e~cient than their unconventional counterparts, and even greater sales share for hybrid electric and diesel vehicles.While declining as a share of total new vehicle sales, sales of conventional gasoline vehicles without micro hybrid systems still account for a signicant percentage (30 percent) of new vehicles in the CAFE3 case and a less, but still important share (11percent) in the CAFE6 case. Conventional gasoline vehicle fuel economy increases in both cases through the introduction of new fuel-e~cient technologies and improved vehicle designs. In order to meet the increased fuel economy requirements, conventional vehicle subsystems (engine, transmission, aerodynamics, vehicle weight, and horsepower) would have to be modied to ensure compliance. Included in conventional gasoline vehicle technologies but counted separately in the discussion above are micro hybrid systems, which are present in 36 percent of conventional gasoline vehicles in the CAFE3 case and 58 percent in the CAFE6 case in 2025, compared with 12 percent in the Reference case.The market adoption of unconventional vehicles and inclusion of additional technologies that improve the fuel economy of conventional gasoline vehicles results in higher average prices for new LDVs compared to the Reference case. As a result, while vehicle operating costs would fall (see below), consumers would need to purchase more expensive vehicles (Figure 18). A distribution of vehicle sales by price in 2010, derived from Ward's Automotive data [
| |
| 46], shows that 31 percent of the new vehicles purchased by consumers were within a price range of $10,000 to $25,000, 49 percent within $25,000 to $35,000, and 19 percent at prices above $35,000. In the CAFE3 case, the distribution in 2025 shifts to 15 percent within $10,000 to $25,000, 61 percent within $25,000 to $35,000, and 24 percent above $35,000 (all 2009 dollars). The sales distribution in 2025 shifts even more in the CAFE6 case, with 9 percent within $10,000 to $25,000, 56 percent within $25,000 to $35,000, and 35 percent above $35,000 (all 2009 dollars).The cases estimate a demand response for new vehicle sales as a result of changes in average new vehicle price by employing a price elasticity of demand of -1. While this measure attempts to quantify the potential impact of the increase in vehicle price on sales, it is not intended to be inclusive of all the potential factors that could aect new vehicle purchase decisions made by consumers. As a result of higher vehicle prices, total new LDV sales in 2025 are 8 percent lower in the CAFE3 case and 14 percent lower in the CAFE6 case than in the Reference case.As vehicle attributes change to meet more stringent CAFE standards, such as decreased average vehicle horsepower and weight, some consumers switch from passenger cars to light-duty trucks, which in the CAFE3 case have average fuel economies in 2025 comparable to those for passenger cars in 2016. The share of total new LDV sales made up by light-duty trucks is 40 percent in the CAFE3 case and 41 percent in the CAFE6 case in 2025, up from 38 percent in the Reference case, but still far lower than their share (more than 50 percent) in 2005. Note, however, that consumer incentives to switch from cars to light trucks are sensitive to the assumed relative stringency of cars versus light truck CAFE.Although the CAFE sensitivity cases allow for uctuation in new LDV sales and switching between purchases of passenger cars and light-duty trucks, additional impacts on fuel demand would be associated with the continued use of existing vehicle stocks. As consumers defer new vehicle purchases, the utilization of older, less fuel-e~cient vehicles increases relative to the Reference case. Table 4.

| 27U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focusThe demand for mobility and the stock of vehicles available in the Reference case are maintained over the projection period in the CAFE cases, but the two CAFE cases assume longer vehicle survival rates and more intensive use of older vehicles.The United States currently has a total LDV stock of around 230 million vehicles. That number grows to over 300 million vehicles by 2035 in the Reference and CAFE cases. Although the introduction of more stringent fuel economy standards in the CAFE cases stimulates sales of more fuel-e~cient new vehicles, it takes time for the new vehicles to penetrate the vehicle eet in signicant numbers to aect the average of fuel economy of the entire LDV stock. In the CAFE cases, the trend is even slower, as a result of reduced scrappage and increased travel of older vehicles. Consequently, the average on-road fuel economy of the LDV stock, which represents the fuel economy realized by all vehicles in use, increases from 22.4 mpg in 2016 to 28.6 mpg in 2025 in the CAFE3 case and 30.2 mpg in the CAFE6 case, as compared with 25.7 mpg in the Reference case. In 2035, the average on-road fuel economy of the LDV stock increases to 34.0 mpg in the CAFE3 case and 39.4 mpg in the CAFE6 case, 22 percent and 41 percent higher, respectively, than the Reference case average of 27.9 mpg (Figure 19).In the two CAFE cases, more stringent fuel economy standards lead to reductions in total delivered energy consumption, including all fuels. Fuel bills fall by a similar amount. Total cumulative delivered energy consumption by LDVs from 2017 to 2035 is 10percent lower in the CAFE3 case than in the Reference case and 13 percent lower in the CAFE6 case. In 2025, total delivered energy consumption by LDVs is 19 percent lower in the CAFE3 case and 27 percent lower in the CAFE6 case than in the Reference case. Total liquids fuel consumption in 2035 is 1.9 million barrels per day lower in the CAFE3 case and 2.8 million barrels per day lower in the CAFE6 case than in the Reference case (Figure 20).

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 28 Issues in focusconsumption are more pronounced later in the projection period, when a greater percentage of the total vehicle stock consists of vehicles with higher fuel economy.The declines in total LDV energy demand in the CAFE cases lead to large reductions in motor gasoline consumption-from 98 percent of total LDV energy use in 2016 to 84 percent in 2025 and 77 percent in 2035 in the CAFE3 case, as compared with 91 percent in 2025 and 89 percent in 2035 in the Reference case. The more stringent fuel economy standards called for in the CAFE6 case lead to even greater reductions in motor gasoline consumption, to 83 percent of total LDV energy use in 2025 and 69 percent in 2035.Despite the overall decline in energy consumption by LDVs, the changing composition of the eet by vehicle fuel type leads to increased consumption of some fuels. Lower demand for motor gasoline reduces the amount of ethanol that can be blended into the motor gasoline pool as either E10 or E15. As a consequence, more fuel containing up to 85 percent ethanol (E85) is sold to meet the RFS. E85 accounts for 11 percent of total LDV energy use in 2035 in the CAFE3 case and 14 percent in the CAFE6 case, compared with 7percent in the Reference case. Diesel fuel consumption increases to 11 percent and 15 percent of total LDV energy use in 2035 in the CAFE3 and CAFE6 cases, respectively, compared with 4 percent in the Reference case. Electricity use by LDVs remains less than 1 percent of total LDV energy use in both the Reference and CAFE3 cases but reaches 3 percent of the total in the CAFE6 case, where sales of plug-in vehicles and all-electric vehicles expand.Reductions in LDV delivered energy consumption lead to lower GHG emissions from the transportation sector. Cumulative CO 2 emissions from transportation over the period from 2009 through 2035 are 2.2 billion metric tons lower in the CAFE3 case and 2.6 billion metric tons lower in the CAFE6 case than in the Reference case, reductions of 6 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
| |
| CO 2 emissions decline from 1,927 million metric tons in 2016 to 1,826 million metric tons in 2025 in the CAFE3 case and to 1,815 million metric tons in the CAFE6 case, as compared with 1,940 million metric tons in the Reference case. In 2035, CO 2 emissions from transportation fuel use total 1,859 million metric tons in the CAFE3 case and 1,788 million metric tons in the CAFE6 case, compared with 2,080 million metric tons in the Reference case (Figure 21).
| |
| CO 2 emissions from the electric power and renery sectors also are aected by increased electricity use for plug-in vehicles. Cumulative emissions from the electric power sector over the period from 2017 to 2035 are 118 million metric tons higher in the CAFE3 case and 416 million metric tons higher in the CAFE6 case than in the Reference case-increases that are equal to 0.3percent and 0.9 percent of total CO 2 emissions from electricity generation, respectively, over the same period. More stringent fuel economy standards reduce motor gasoline demand by more than they increase demand for diesel and E85 fuels. As a result, cumulative CO 2 emissions from reneries between 2017 and 2035 decline by 359 million metric tons in the CAFE3 case and 471 million metric tons in the CAFE6 case from the Reference case level-declines of 8.8 percent and 11.6 percent, respectively.

| IssuesSetting LDV fuel economy standards 6 to 14 years into the future is a di~cult undertaking, given the uncertainties associated with technology availability and cost, consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for unfamiliar technology, and fuel prices. The availability and cost of advanced vehicle technologies are critical in determining the ability of manufacturers to meet more stringent standards, but there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the cost and availability of key technologies so far into the future.For example, battery technologies used in plug-in vehicles are important in meeting more stringent standards in the CAFE3 case and are critical to compliance in the CAFE6 case. The future cost and performance of battery technologies in 2025 cannot be known with condence. If there are limited breakthroughs in the cost, safety, or life of batteries, then the ability to meet, for example, the levels of stringency called for in the CAFE6 case, which will very likely necessitate plug-in vehicles, will be extremely challenging. On the other hand, a breakthrough in battery technology or another known technology, or the introduction of a new unforeseen technology, could dramatically lessen the burden on manufacturers of meeting more stringent CAFE standards in terms of both cost and availability.When manufacturers bring an advanced vehicle technology to market, consumers must be willing to buy it. There is a high level of uncertainty about consumer willingness to pay signicantly higher prices for more fuel-e~cient vehicles. In recent history, consumers have tended to value upgrades in performance, vehicle size, and other attributes at the expense of fuel economy. For example, assuming an annual vehicle use of 14,000 miles per year, a fuel price of $4 per gallon, and no discount rate, a consumer would save 117 gallons of fuel worth $467 each year by driving a vehicle with a fuel economy of 40 mpg instead of 30mpg. However, purchasing a vehicle that gets 70 mpg 0

Total transportation carbon dioxide emissions (million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent) 29U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focusinstead of 60 mpg would save only 33 gallons, worth $133 (Figure 22). This is important, because the cost of adding technology to an already fuel-e~cient vehicle tends to get increasingly expensive (for example, changing a conventional gasoline vehicle to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). As manufacturers strive to improve fuel economy, the least costly technologies that reduce fuel consumption will be incorporated rst. Employing additional technology to increase fuel economy further will require the use of more expensive technologies.Consumer willingness to pay for improved fuel economy changes dramatically with dierent potential fuel prices, which are highly uncertain. If the price of fuel in 14 years is signicantly higher than today's prices, a cost-conscious consumer may be willing to pay much more for a vehicle with higher fuel economy, perhaps even without increases in CAFE and GHG standards. Conversely, if fuel prices in the future are relatively low, it may be di~cult to convince consumers to pay for fuel economy improvements if the savings from improving fuel economy have only a small impact on their annual fuel expenditures. The willingness of consumers to purchase vehicles with higher fuel economy could also aect both new vehicle sales and scrappage rates.4. Fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehiclesThe proposed rulemakingThe EPA and NHTSA in November 2010 jointly issued a proposed rulemaking that would, for the first time, establish greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) [
| |
| 47].The proposed standards separately address three discrete vehicle categories: combination tractors, heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans, and vocational vehicles (Table 5). The final regulations are scheduled to be issued by July 2011.For combination tractors, standards are proposed by cab type, roof type, and engine type. For heavy-duty pickups and vans, the proposed standards are categorized by diesel or gasoline engine and are set as total vehicle gallons per 100 miles, or grams per mile, based on a vehicle's "work factor"-a weighted average of payload and towing capacity. For vocational vehicles, the standards are proposed for dierent chassis types, according to gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and engine type. Standards for combination tractor cabs and vocational vehicles are set as gallons per 1,000 ton-miles or grams per ton-mile, and engine standards are set as gallons per 100 brake horsepower-hours [
| |
| 48] or grams per horsepower-hour.
| |
| Heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy standardsAEO2011 includes a sensitivity case that analyzes the estimated impacts of the proposed fuel consumption and GHG emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks. However, because of data and modeling limitations, impacts of the standards for specic truck types or engines could not be represented. Instead, the HDV Fuel Economy Standards case approximates the proposed fuel consumption and GHG emissions standards by increasing the on-road fuel economy of new heavy-duty trucks by approximately 8.5 percent in MY 2017 from MY 2010 levels.The increase in on-road fuel economy for heavy-duty trucks in MY 2017 in the sensitivity case is based on estimates developed from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2002 Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS) [
| |
| 49] and from Ward's Auto [
| |
| 50], which together provide data on vehicle body type, tractor cab type, and engine type by GVWR classication. The estimated vehicle distributions were combined with the EPA and NHTSA estimates of reductions in fuel consumption in MY 2017 for combination tractors and vocational vehicles and in MY 2018 for heavy-duty pickups and vans, compared to a MY 2010 baseline [
| |
| 51].Using data from VIUS and Ward's Automotive, fuel consumption reductions provided by EPA and NHTSA were combined and aggregated into the reported categorization of heavy-duty trucks used in AEO2011: medium heavy-duty trucks (includes Class 3 through Class 6 trucks with GVWR 10,001 to 26,000 pounds) and heavy heavy-duty trucks (Class 7 and Class 8 trucks with GVWR greater than 26,001 pounds), regardless of vehicle body or engine type. This weighting and aggregation showed an approximately 10 percent reduction in fuel consumption for both categories of heavy-duty trucks in MY 2017 from MY 2010 levels, relative to a simulated fuel economy estimate. The reduction in fuel consumption was modeled as an increase in on-road new vehicle fuel economy to account for the potential variation of simulation-tested fuel economy from expected on-road performance. Increases in fuel economy begin in MY 2014, the rst year that GHG emissions standards are binding (Figure 23).Between MY 2014 and MY 2017, the new heavy-duty truck standards lead to the adoption of technologies to improve fuel economy that otherwise would not have been purchased.

On-road fuel economy for heavy heavy-duty trucks increases from 5.7 mpg in 2013 to 6.2 mpg in 2017, a 9.6-percent increase from the Reference case. After 2017 the standards are held constant, but owner-operators have the option of purchasing additional fuel-e~cient technology according to their economic choice based on the net present value of fuel savings compared with the incremental cost of the technology. In 2035, the on-road fuel economy of new medium and heavy heavy-duty trucks reaches 8.4 and 6.4 mpg, respectively, as compared with 7.8 and 6.4 mpg in the Reference case.

| ResultsIn the HDV Fuel Economy Standards case, new medium and heavy heavy-duty trucks with higher on-road fuel economy gradually penetrate the market. Progress is limited, however, due to the slow turnover in the stock of heavy trucks, which have a median lifetime of 29 years. Between 2014 and 2035, new heavy-duty truck sales per year are equal to about 6 percent of the total heavy-duty truck stock, ranging between about 600,000 and 900,000 new heavy-duty trucks sales per year out of a total stock that grows from 10 million in 2014 to 17 million in 2035. As new heavy-duty trucks are added to the total stock and older trucks with lower fuel economy are removed from service, the average on-road fuel economy for the total stock of medium and heavy heavy-duty trucks increases in the HDV Fuel Economy Standards case (Figure 24).For medium heavy-duty trucks average on-road fuel economy increases from 7.9 median mpg in 2013 to 8.0 mpg in 2017 and 8.4mpg in 2035, as compared with 7.9 mpg and 7.8 mpg, respectively, in the Reference case. For heavy heavy-duty trucks, on-road fuel economy increases from 5.7 mpg in 2013 to 5.9 mpg in 2017 and 6.3 mpg in 2035, as compared with 5.7 mpg and 6.2 mpg, respectively, in the Reference case.The higher on-road fuel economy of the heavy-duty truck stock reduces total delivered energy consumption in the Fuel Economy Standards case. Total cumulative delivered energy consumption by heavy-duty trucks from 2014 to 2035 is 3 percent lower in the Fuel Economy Standards case than in the Reference case. The dierence amounts to a cumulative reduction of slightly less than 1 percent of total delivered transportation energy consumption from 2014 to 2035. Total delivered energy consumption is 0.6percent lower in 2017, the rst year of complete implementation, and 0.5 percent lower in 2035 in the Fuel Economy Standards case than in the Reference case. Total liquids fuel consumption in 2035 is about 75 thousand barrels per day lower in the Fuel Economy Standards case than in the Reference case (Figure 25). However, heavy-duty truck total delivered energy and liquids fuel consumption climbs in both cases, as travel demand increases with growth in industrial output.Cumulative CO 2 emissions from 2014 to 2035 are lower by 276 million metric tons (about 3 percent) in the HDV Fuel Economy Standards case than in the Reference case, representing a reduction of less than 1 percent in total CO 2 emissions from the transportation sector (Figure 26).

| IssuesThe HDV Fuel Economy Standards case approximates the proposed rulemaking by aggregating vehicle body type data from the 2002 VIUS. (The survey has not been updated since 2002.) There may be signicant dierences between the heavy-duty truck market today and the market a decade ago. Further, there are data uncertainties associated with the 2002 VIUS, but the data were used because VIUS is the only source of information on vehicle body type. Also, little if any information is available on other metrics used in the proposed standards.Numerous limitations in the available data on the types and numbers of heavy trucks sold according to the vehicle classications specied in the proposed standards make it di~cult to estimate the energy impacts that could be expected as heavy-duty trucks begin to comply with the new standards. Without better and more complete data, it is di~cult to analyze the composition of the heavy-duty truck market at the level of diversity included in the proposed standards, or the e~ciency and fuel economy metrics associated with each classication in the standards. In addition, the lack of data makes it di~cult to dene an accurate baseline from which to gauge improvement.Table 5.

For purposes of the rulemaking, vocational vehicles are dened as all heavy-duty trucks that are not combination tractors or heavy-duty pickups or vans.Class 2b through Class 8 (GVWR 8,501 pounds and above) 31U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focusAnother issue is how compliance will be measured, and how well compliance testing procedures will replicate the average real-world performance of combination tractors, heavy-duty pickups and vans, and vocational vehicles. For combination tractors, which tend to spend a majority of their operation under steady conditions, such as highway driving, engine manufacturers must demonstrate compliance by using the steady-state Supplemental Engine Test [
| |
| 52]. Tractor manufacturers will then be required to install certied engines, with tractor compliance measured by an input-based truck simulation model, the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Model (GEM). GEM uses xed input values, such as payload and trailer weights. Compliance will vary with the GEM inputs for aerodynamics, weight, tires, and idle reduction and speed limiter technologies.Compliance for heavy-duty pickups and vans will be determined by a vehicle test procedure similar to the national program for LDVs, using the highway fuel economy test and the Federal test procedure for city driving, weighted 45 percent and 55 percent, respectively. Heavy-duty pickups and vans are assumed to be loaded to one-half of their payload capacity.Vocational vehicles also use the GEM simulation model to demonstrate chassis compliance, using fixed curb and payload weights for each vehicle category, with tires being the only manufacturer-specific technology that can be input into the model. The proposed rulemaking weights the test drive-cycle as 37 percent at 65 miles per hour cruise, 21 percent at 55 miles per hour cruise, and 42 percent in transient performance, which broadly covers urban conditions. Chassis manufacturers will be allowed to install only certified CO 2 and fuel consumption compliant engines based on the transient Heavy-Duty Federal Test Procedure.As validation, GEM results for fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions were compared with three SmartWay certied tractors in a chassis testing procedure. The GEM results were within 4 percent of the chassis testing results. Although the testing ReferenceFuel Economy StandardsHeavy heavy

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 32 Issues in focusmechanisms may accurately reect real-world conditions, they may either underestimate or overestimate average fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions by vehicle category. Ultimately, fuel savings will be realized from the new standards; but given data limitations it is di~cult to say with certainty the extent to which they will occur.In 2009, the residential and commercial buildings sectors used 19.6 quadrillion Btu of delivered energy, or 21 percent of total U.S. energy consumption. The residential sector accounted for 57 percent of that energy use and the commercial sector 43 percent.
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, delivered energy for buildings increases by 16 percent, to 22.8 quadrillion Btu in 2035, which is moderate relative to the rate of increase in the number of buildings and their occupants. Accordingly, energy use in the buildings sector on a per-capita basis declines in the projection. The decline of buildings energy use per capita in past years is attributable in part to improvements in the e~ciencies of appliances and building shells, and e~ciency improvements continue to play a key role in projections of buildings energy consumption.Three alternative cases in AEO2011 illustrate the impacts of appliance standards and building codes on energy delivered to the residential and commercial sectors (Figure 27). The Expanded Standards case assumes multiple rounds of updates to appliance standards for most end uses. The Expanded Standards and Codes case includes the same updates to standards and adds several rounds of updates to national building codes. These cases dier from the Extended Policies case, in that they do not include the tax credit extensions assumed in the No Sunset case. The 2010 Technology case assumes that future equipment purchases are limited to the options available in 2010, and that the 2010 building codes remain unchanged through 2035. The 2010 Technology case includes all current Federal standards, but unlike the Reference case it does not include future e~ciency levels established by equipment manufacturers and e~ciency advocates through consensus agreements.Without the benets of technology improvement, buildings energy use in the 2010 Technology case grows to more than 24quadrillion Btu in 2035, compared to under 23 quadrillion Btu in the Reference case. In the Expanded Standards and Codes case, energy delivered to the buildings sectors does not exceed 21 quadrillion Btu throughout the projection period.BackgroundGovernments at both the State and Federal levels have used appliance standards and building codes to mandate minimum levels of e~ciency in commercially available products and in new construction. California rst established standards for selected appliances in the mid-1970s, and the Federal Government followed in 1987 with the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act. Currently, most major end-use devices are covered by Federal standards, and some States have added standards for such products as televisions, audio and video equipment, swimming pool pumps, commercial holding cabinets for hot food, and bottle-type water dispensers.There are no Federal building codes; rather, codes are set at the State level. For residential buildings, most State codes are some version of the IECC. Commercial building codes are more likely to be based on specications developed jointly by the American National Standards Institute, the ASHRAE, and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. In addition, the States have sole responsibility for compliance monitoring and enforcement of the codes, and eorts vary signicantly across States.Although both contribute to e~ciency improvements and reduced energy consumption, building codes and appliance standards achieve those goals in dierent ways. Appliance standards set e~ciency levels and require new equipment to provide a given level of service output (e.g., heat, light, or refrigeration) with a reduced level of energy input.Building codes can reduce energy mainly for heating and cooling equipment by increasing insulation and decreasing air inltration. Better insulation impedes heat transfer, and better inltration control reduces air transfer between outdoor elements and indoor conditioned space. Those measures make the work done by heating and cooling equipment more eective, essentially by creating a more robust barrier between outdoor and indoor spaces.

| Appliance standardsDOE's thresholds for setting Federal standards include average energy use in excess of 150 kilowatthours (or Btu equivalent) per household for any 12-month period; aggregate household energy use in excess of 4.2 billion kilowatthours (14.3 trillion Btu); and technological feasibility of substantial e~ciency improvement for the product. For example, a typical refrigerator under the 2001 DOE standard can use up to 510 kilowatthours per year, and residential refrigeration in aggregate consumed ReferenceExpanded StandardsExpanded Standards and Codes 0 15 20 25 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 20352010 TechnologyFigure 27. Residential and commercial delivered energy consumption in four cases, 2005-2035 (quadrillion Btu) 33U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focus367 trillion Btu in 2009. Once a product is covered by DOE, the States must seek waivers from Federal preemption in order to implement their own standards.Assumptions for future e~ciency standards in the Extended Policies case and the Expanded Standards case are based on ENERGY STAR specications or, for some products in the commercial sector, FEMP guidelines. The rst round of standards in the Expanded Standards case assumes ENERGY STAR levels, but the improvements assumed for subsequent rounds are only 50 percent of those assumed for the rst round (7.5 percent in the case of dehumidiers). This approach is taken because, for example, an ENERGY STAR dehumidier uses 15 percent less energy than required by the most recent standard, but it may be unreasonable to assume that future standards for dehumidiers (or any other equipment) will always be able to achieve improvements of the same magnitude. In addition, the assumed future standards do exceed the "maximum technologically feasible" levels described in technical support documents for DOE's rulemaking.Future e~ciency levels for several products, in addition to standards already promulgated by DOE, are included in the AEO2011 Reference case. E~ciency advocates and equipment manufacturers have developed consensus agreements on regional standards for electric heat pumps, central air conditioners, and furnaces, and national standards for refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers, clothes dryers, dishwashers, and room air conditioners. In those cases, e~ciency levels in additional rounds of standards are limited to one-half the ENERGY STAR improvement increment.The ENERGY STAR program provides an annual summary of market penetration by qualied products [
| |
| 53]. For some product categories with high levels of market penetration, ENERGY STAR specications are updated more frequently, to encourage greater e~ciency. Consequently, ENERGY STAR levels may be the most up-to-date and consistent set of e~ciency levels that are plausible for future standards.The Expanded Standards case includes updated standards for currently covered products as well as new standards for products not yet covered. Updated standards for covered products are introduced according to DOE's rulemaking schedule, which typically staggers rulemakings and revisits standard levels every 6 years. Standards for products not previously covered are assumed to be added to the schedule, with the last standard being introduced in 2019. For most end uses, only one additional round of standards is applied. Exceptions in the residential sector include boilers, geothermal heat pumps, and dehumidiers, with two rounds of standards. Two additional rounds of standards are also assumed for geothermal heat pumps in the commercial sector.By law, the DOE rulemaking process requires that e~ciency improvements be imposed at neutral cost to consumers. Extensive cost-benet analysis in the process involves thorough engineering and market analyses of potential impacts on consumers and is subject to scrutiny and input from equipment manufacturers, e~ciency advocates, and other stakeholders. The sensitivity cases described here focus on the aggregate energy impacts of additional standards and codes, but do not address the impacts on consumer welfare. Future e~ciency levels are based solely on estimations of improvements for currently available products.

| Building codesResidential and commercial building energy codes [
| |
| 54] are currently applied at the State level with no consistent schedule for adoption, compliance, or enforcement. Current residential building codes vary widely: some States comply with 2009 IECC or better, while others have codes that predate the 1998 MEC / IECC or have no mandatory codes at all. On the commercial side, the most stringent States have adopted ASHRAE 90.1-2007 or better, while the least stringent States either have no mandatory code or have codes that precede ASHRAE 90.1-1999. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 required certication of building energy code updates from all States, so that residential codes would meet or exceed the (now obsolete) Council of American Building O~cials' 1992 Model Energy Code, and commercial codes would meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1-1989. As of 2010, a State-level scorecard from e~ciency advocates identied 12 States that still do not have mandatory energy codes for either residential or commercial buildings [
| |
| 55].The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides State Energy Program (SEP) funding, contingent on the updating of a State's building codes to ASHRAE 90.1-2007 and the IECC that was most recent when ARRA was passed in 2009, and on the State's providing a plan to achieve at least 90-percent compliance within 8 years. All 50 States applied for and received SEP funds with those conditions. The Reference case assumes that States comply with ARRA. The Expanded Standards and Codes case adds three rounds of building codes, the rst of which mandates a 15-percent improvement over IECC 2009 in the residential sector and a 30-percent improvement over ASHRAE 90.1-2004 in the commercial sector by 2020. Two subsequent rounds in 2023 and 2026 each add an assumed 5-percent incremental improvement.Results for the residential sectorBecause many of the products targeted by the appliance standards program are used in the residential sector, about 60 percent of the additional buildings sector e~ciency gains in the Expanded Standards and Codes case are realized there. Figure 28 shows cumulative energy savings relative to the 2010 Technology case in three cases for various groups of residential end uses.The Reference case includes technology improvement in every end use. Also, two consensus agreements among equipment manufacturers and e~ciency advocates provide additional signicant reductions in consumption. In 2009, a consensus agreement recommended regional standards for some heating and cooling equipment as an alternative to the national standards of the past. In 2010, a consensus agreement recommended standards for refrigerators, freezers, room air conditioners, clothes washers, clothes U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 34 Issues in focusdryers, and dishwashers. Those consensus agreements are included in the Reference case as de facto standards, and they contribute to the cumulative reduction in delivered energy use of 13.4 quadrillion Btu in the Reference case relative to the 2010 Technology case.The Expanded Standards case shows signicant improvement in miscellaneous energy loads, mostly as the result of an assumed standard for standby power in 2014. Standards for televisions and computer monitors are introduced in 2016, as recent improvements in display technology have oered room for energy savings. Products such as home audio equipment and DVD players that have been subject to State standards are assumed to be covered at the Federal level, further contributing to energy savings. Similarly, energy use for personal computers and related equipment, such as printers, modems, and routers, also are aected by the standards for standby power and assumed new DOE rulemakings for peripheral devices. Ultimately, the energy consumption associated with televisions, set-top boxes, personal computers, and related equipment is reduced by 1.8 quadrillion Btu in 2035 in the Expanded Standards case.Electric water heating, with an assumed standard mandating heat pump water heaters in 2021, is reduced by 2.0 quadrillion Btu in 2035 in the Expanded Standards case relative to the Reference case. Electricity use for large kitchen appliances (refrigeration and cooking) display relatively little improvement in the Expanded Standards case. Refrigeration already is subject to stringent standards in the Reference case, whereas cooking equipment has less room for technological improvement. A lighting standard is assumed to be set in 2026, establishing an e~cacy level for general-service bulbs at the level of compact uorescent lamps; however, that level is not much higher than the standard that already has been promulgated and will go into eect in 2014. Energy use for laundry and dishwashing equipment shows little direct improvement in the Expanded Standards case, because standards for those products are more likely to limit water use than energy use.The building codes in the Expanded Standards and Codes case provide an additional 2.9 quadrillion Btu of savings for space heating and cooling relative to those in the Expanded Standards case. Space heating accounts for most of the savings. In addition, some features of new building codes could focus on thermal improvements, such as reducing air inltration or increasing the solar heat gain coe~cients of windows, which may be benecial in winter months but slightly detrimental in summer months.Results for the commercial sectorBuildings in the commercial sector are less homogeneous than those in the residential sector, in terms of both form and function. The wider range of commercial equipment makes standard-setting more di~cult, and although many products have been subject to Federal e~ciency standards, FEMP guidelines, and ENERGY STAR specications, coverage is not as comprehensive as in the residential sector. Figure 29 shows cumulative energy savings relative to the 2010 Technology case in three cases for various groups of commercial end uses.Like the residential sector, commercial buildings with residential-size equipment were aected by the 2009 consensus agreement for heating and cooling products, which is included in the Reference case. This contributes to a cumulative reduction in delivered energy use for commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning of 1.5 quadrillion Btu (2 percent) in the Reference case relative to the 2010 Technology case. O~ce-related computer equipment sees signicant energy savings, primarily because laptops gain market share from desktop computers.In the Expanded Standards case, o~ce equipment again accounts for a large share of the e~ciency gains, because desktop computers and their monitors, laptops, copiers, fax machines, printers, and multi-function devices are assumed to be subject to 0 5 10 15 20 25ReferenceExpandedStandardsExpanded Standards and CodesSpace heating and ventilationSpace coolingWater heatingOtherFigure 28.

Lighting in the commercial sector is subject to a tighter standard in 2017, saving 0.6 quadrillion Btu in total through 2035. In addition, an assumed 2021 standard requiring the use of heat pump water heaters leads to a 29-percent reduction in electricity consumption for water heating in 2035.Building codes in the Expanded Standards and Codes case have nearly as much impact as the assumed standards in the Expanded Standards case, because the assumed building codes are much more stringent than those in the Reference case. Ultimately, the new codes provide almost 3 quadrillion Btu of savings in energy consumption for space heating savings and about 1 quadrillion Btu of savings for space cooling, beyond the reductions attributable to equipment standards.

| SummaryIn comparison with a case that restricts future equipment to what was available in 2010, the alternative cases described here show the potential for energy savings from the technological improvement and the application of appliance standards and building codes. In the Reference case, assumed technology improvement in general, and consensus agreements on e~ciency improvements for some end uses in particular, save 13.4 quadrillion Btu of residential delivered energy-equivalent to 4.4percent of total residential energy use-from 2010 to 2035. In the commercial sector, 5.6 quadrillion Btu of energy-equivalent to 2.2percent of total commercial delivered energy-is saved from 2010 to 2035. Assumed appliance standards in the Expanded Standards case provide additional cumulative energy savings from 2010 to 2035 of 2.8 percent and 1.4 percent in the residential and commercial sectors, respectively. On top of those savings, the tighter building codes assumed in the Expanded Standards and Codes case provide additional cumulative reductions in energy use of 1.0 percent and 1.6 percent in the residential and commercial sectors, respectively. Ultimately, in the Reference case, 19.0 quadrillion Btu of delivered energy consumption is avoided over 25 years relative to projected consumption in the 2010 Technology case. That total is roughly equivalent to the energy that the buildings sectors consumed in 2006. The Expanded Standards and Codes case goes beyond the Reference case to save an additional 19.0 quadrillion Btu of delivered energy from 2010 to 2035.6. Potential of offshore crude oil and natural gas resourcesThe 2010 Macondo oil well accident in the Gulf of Mexico heightened awareness of the risks associated with exploration and development of oshore crude oil and natural gas resources, particularly in deep water. In addition, there is signicant uncertainty about the oshore resources available in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska oshore areas. Despite the risks and uncertainties, however, oshore crude oil and natural gas production is expected to remain an important component of U.S. supply through 2035.In 2009, oshore production accounted for 1.79 million barrels per day or 33 percent of the 5.36 million barrels per day of total U.S. crude oil production and 2.70 trillion cubic feet or 13 percent of the 20.96 trillion cubic feet of U.S. natural gas production. In the AEO2011 Reference case, oshore production accounts for roughly 32 percent of total domestic crude oil production and 11 percent of total domestic natural gas production over next 25 years.
| |
| Analysis casesThree sensitivity cases were used to evaluate the impacts of key assumptions related to the availability of oshore crude oil and natural gas resources and the costs of exploring and developing them. Specic assumptions in the three cases are discussed below.High OCS Resource caseResource estimates for most of the U.S. outer continental shelf (OCS) are uncertain, particularly for resources in undeveloped regions where there has been little or no exploration and development activity, and modern seismic survey data are lacking. In several recent studies prepared for the DOE [
| |
| 56] and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners [
| |
| 57], technically recoverable resources in undeveloped areas of the OCS have been estimated at 2 to 5 times the latest (2006) estimates from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.The AEO2011 High OCS Resource case assumes a technically recoverable undiscovered crude oil resource base in the Atlantic, Pacic, and Alaska OCS and in areas of the eastern and central Gulf of Mexico (which are currently under a statutory drilling moratorium) that is triple the size of the resource base assumed in the Reference case (Table 6), resulting in a total OCS level of technically recoverable resources of 144.0 billion barrels of crude oil, as compared with 69.3 billion barrels in the Reference case. For natural gas, the High OCS Resource case triples the technically recoverable undiscovered resources in some areas, with the exception of the Alaska OCS. Projected natural gas production from the Alaska OCS is not sensitive to the level of technically undiscovered resources, because natural gas prices are not high enough to support investment in a pipeline to bring natural gas from the North Slope area to market.Reduced OCS Access caseThe Reduced OCS Access case assumes leases in the Pacic, Atlantic, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska OCS regions are not available until after 2035, as detailed in Table 7.High OCS Cost caseThe High OCS Cost case assumes that costs for exploration and development of oshore oil and natural gas resources are 30percent higher than those in the Reference case. The higher cost assumption is not intended to be an estimate of the impact of U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 36 Issues in focusany new regulatory or safety requirements, but is simply used to illustrate the potential impacts of higher costs on the production of OCS crude oil and natural gas resources.Analysis resultsIn the High OCS Resource case, the assumed increase in technically recoverable OCS resources in undeveloped areas impacts crude oil and natural gas production through 2035, primarily because of the long lead times required for resource development in the oshore, regardless of the size of the resources discovered. In most areas, depending on location and water depth, a period of 3 to 10 years for exploration, infrastructure development, and developmental drilling is required from lease acquisition to rst production. Because the assumed availability of leases in the Pacic, Atlantic, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska is the same in the Reference and High OCS Resource cases, crude oil and natural gas production is not aected by the high resource assumption until 2025 and after.In 2035, oshore crude oil production in the High OCS Resource case is 51 percent higher, at 3.25 million barrels per day, than the Reference case production level of 2.15 million barrels per day (Figure 30). The majority of the increase (65 percent) is from the Alaska OCS, based on the assumed discovery and development of a large eld with 2 billion barrels of recoverable crude oil resources. As a result, total domestic crude oil production in 2035 is 1.05 million barrels per day (18 percent) higher in the High OCS Resource case than in the Reference case. Cumulative total domestic crude oil production from 2010 to 2035 in the High OCS Resource case is only 5 percent higher than in the Reference case.Changes in domestic oil production tend to have only a modest impact on crude oil and petroleum product prices, because any change in domestic oil production is diluted in the world oil market. In 2009, the United States produced 5.36 million barrels per day of crude oil and lease condensate, or 7 percent of the world total of 72.26 million barrels per day. Unlike crude oil supply and prices, domestic natural gas supply and prices are determined largely by supply and demand for natural gas in the North American market, where the development and production of shale gas in the Lower 48 States is largely responsible for current and foreseeable future market conditions.Natural gas production in U.S. oshore areas in 2035 is 0.7 trillion cubic feet higher in the High OCS Resource case than in the Reference case, putting some downward pressure on natural gas prices (Figure 31). In 2035, the Henry Hub spot price is about 3percent lower in the High OCS Resource case than in the Reference case. However, the lower price results in only a small increase in natural gas consumption, 0.2 trillion cubic feet. Thus, the increase in OCS natural gas production is oset by a decrease of 0.5 trillion cubic feet in production from onshore domestic supply sources.In the Reduced OCS Access case, removing the Pacic, Atlantic, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska OCS from future leasing consideration lowers projected domestic production of both crude oil and natural gas. The impact on domestic crude oil production starts after 2026 as a result of the lead time between leasing and production and the economics of projects in undeveloped areas. In 2035, oshore crude oil production in the Reduced OCS Access case, at 1.78 million barrels per day, is 17 percent or 0.17 million barrels per day lower than in the Reference case, resulting in a 6 percent decrease in total domestic crude oil production.Oshore natural gas production in 2035 is 5 percent lower in the Reduced OCS Access case than in the Reference case (2.92 trillion cubic feet compared with 3.05 trillion cubic feet), resulting in a decrease in total U.S. natural gas production of less than 1 percent. Cumulatively, total domestic crude oil and natural gas production from 2010 to 2035 is less than 1 percent lower in the Reduced OCS Access case than in the Reference case. In the High OCS Cost case, exploration and development costs for crude oil and natural gas resources in all U.S. oshore regions are 30 percent higher than in the Reference case, resulting in lower levels of oshore crude oil and natural gas production throughout the projection period. The largest dierence in production levels between the two cases occurs in 2015, when total U.S. oshore crude oil production is 112,000 barrels per day (6 percent) lower and oshore natural gas production is 0.2 trillion cubic feet (9percent) lower than in the Reference case.The higher exploration and production costs in the High OCS cost case change the economics of oil and gas development projects and reduce the number of wells drilled annually in oshore areas. Because of the higher costs, exploration and development of some oshore resources occur later, when prices are higher. In 2035, lower 48 oshore crude oil production is 2 percent lower, and lower 48 oshore natural gas production is 3 percent lower, in the High OCS Cost case than in the Reference case.

In Alaska, however, the increase in costs deters the development of additional oshore resources that are economically viable in the Reference case.7. Prospects for shale gasProduction of natural gas from large underground shale formations (shale gas) in the United States grew by an average of 17percent per year from 2000 to 2006. Early successes in shale gas production occurred primarily in the Barnett Shale of north central Texas. By 2006, successful shale gas operations in the Barnett shale, improvements in shale gas recovery technologies, and attractive natural gas prices encouraged the industry to accelerate its development activity in other shale plays. The combination of two technologies-horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing-made it possible to produce shale gas economically, and from 2006 to 2010 U.S. shale gas production grew by an average of 48 percent per year. Further increases in shale gas production are expected, with total production growing by almost threefold from 2009 to 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case. However, there is a high degree of uncertainty around the projection, starting with the estimated size of the technically recoverable shale gas resource.Estimates of technically recoverable shale gas are certain to change over time as new information is gained through drilling and production, and through development of shale gas recovery technology. Over the past decade, as more shale formations have been explored and used for commercial production, estimates of technically and economically recoverable shale gas resources have skyrocketed. However, the estimates embody many assumptions that might prove to be untrue in the long term.
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, estimates of shale gas resources are based in part on an assumption that production rates achieved to date in a limited portion of a formation are representative of future production rates across the entire formation-even though experience to date has shown that production rates from neighboring shale gas wells can vary by as much as a factor of 3. Moreover, across a single shale formation, there are signicant variations in depth, thickness, porosity, carbon content, pore pressure, clay content, thermal maturity, and water content, and as a result production rates for dierent wells in the same formation can vary by as much as a factor of 10.There is also considerable uncertainty about the ultimate size of the technically and economically recoverable shale gas resource base in the onshore lower 48 States and about the amount of gas that can be recovered per well, on average, over the full extent of a shale formation. Uncertainties associated with shale gas formations include, but are not limited to, the following:
| |
| Most shale gas wells are only a few years old, and their long-term productivity is untested. Consequently, reliable data on long-term production proles and ultimate gas recovery rates for shale gas wells are lacking.
| |
| In emerging shale formations, gas production has been conned largely to "sweet spots" that have the highest known production rates for the formation. When the production rates for the sweet spot are used to infer the productive potential of an entire formation, its resource potential may be overestimated.
| |
| Many shale formations (particularly, the Marcellus shale) are so large that only a portion of the formation has been extensively production tested.
| |
| Technical advances can lead to more productive and less costly well drilling and completion.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 38 Issues in focusCurrently untested shale formations, such as thin seam formations, or untested portions of existing formations, could prove to be highly productive.Although public estimates of onshore lower 48 shale gas resources, as reported by private institutions, have grown over the past decade as more shale gas plays have been production tested, it is not known what shale formations were included in the estimates or what methodology and data were used to derive them. For example, an estimate relying only on publicly reported costs and performance proles for shale gas wells would tend to overestimate the size of the economic resource base, because public information is skewed toward high-production and high-prot wells. Given the lack of information about how private institutions have derived their resource estimates, this analysis considers a set of alternative resource estimates that are intended to provide a plausible but not denitive range of potential shale gas resources.

| Analysis casesTwo key determinants of the estimated technically recoverable shale gas resource base are (1) estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) per well and (2) an assumed recovery factor that is used to estimate how much of the acreage of shale gas plays contains recoverable natural gas. Four AEO2011 cases examine the impacts of higher and lower estimates of total recoverable shale gas resources on natural gas prices and production. The four cases are not intended to represent a condence interval for the resource base, but rather to illustrate how dierent resource assumptions aect projections of domestic production, prices, and consumption.High resource casesTwo high shale resource cases were created by increasing two dierent assumptions underlying the resource estimate. The estimated unproved technically recoverable resource base (excluding 20.1 trillion cubic feet of inferred reserves) is the same in both high shale resource cases and is 50 percent higher than in the Reference case (1,230 trillion cubic feet in the two high shale resource cases, compared with 827 trillion cubic feet in the Reference case).In the High Shale EUR case, the EUR per shale gas well is assumed to be 50 percent higher than in the Reference case. The higher estimate could result from, for example, better placement of the horizontal lateral within the formation; better completion techniques that allow more of the pore space and absorbed gas to reach the well bore; and/or determination that well recompletions are both productive and economic. In the High Shale Recovery case, 50 percent more natural gas is assumed to be recovered from each shale formation. The EUR per well is unchanged from the Reference case, and so 50 percent more wells are needed to recover the gas contained in each shale play. Higher recovery could result if a larger portion of each shale formation than originally estimated proves to be productive and economic, and/or if the drilling of more wells, more horizontal laterals, or both closer to each other proves to be productive and economic.Low shale resource casesTwo low shale resource cases were created by adjusting the same factors described above for the high shale resources cases, but in the opposite direction. The estimated unproved technically recoverable shale gas resources is 423 trillion cubic feet in both of the low shale resource cases, 50 percent lower than the 827 trillion cubic feet level in the Reference case. In the Low Shale EUR case, the EUR per shale gas well is assumed to be 50 percent lower than in the Reference case. The lower estimate could result, for example, from faster rates of decline in gas production than expected in the Reference case, and/or considerably lower ultimate recovery rates than expected for wells in areas where shale formations have not yet been tested. In the Low Shale Recovery case, 50 percent less natural gas is recovered from each shale gas play, because, for example, a large number of formations are less productive and less economic than currently anticipated. The EUR per well is unchanged from the Reference case, but the number of wells required to recover the resource is 50 percent lower, because there is 50 percent less natural gas in each shale gas play that can be recovered economically.The 50-percent variations in the shale gas cases approximate the range of shale gas resource estimates reported by the U.S. Geological Survey for 20 shale gas assessment units in 5 petroleum basins, using the Survey's 95 percent and 5 percent probability resource volumes as indicative of the degree of uncertainty in shale gas resource estimates.As discussed below, in the High Shale EUR and High Shale Recovery cases, natural gas prices are lower than in the Reference case; however, the energy models used for the AEO2011 projections do not allow for liqueed natural gas (LNG) exports from domestic facilities. Consequently, net natural gas exports in the Reference, High Shale EUR, and High Shale Recovery cases could be greater if domestic LNG export terminals were represented in the models.Analysis resultsThe four shale gas cases illustrate the uncertainties that surround shale gas resources, which could have signicant implications for future natural gas prices, production, and consumption (Table 8). They also illustrate that the type of uncertainty involved (EUR or recovery) also bears on the question of how prices, production, and consumption could unfold as uncertainties about the U.S. shale gas resource base are resolved over time.

| 39U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focusThe largest variations from the Reference case are in the High and Low Shale EUR cases, where lower and higher costs per unit of shale gas production have the eect of increasing and decreasing total production from U.S. shale gas wells. In the Low Shale EUR case, the Henry Hub natural gas price in 2035 is $2.19 per million Btu or 31 percent higher than the Reference case price of $7.07 per million Btu (2009 dollars). Conversely, in the High Shale EUR case, the Henry Hub price in 2035 is $1.72 per million Btu or 24percent lower than in the Reference case.In 2035, shale gas production is more than three times as high in the High Shale EUR case as in the Low Shale EUR case, at 17.1 trillion cubic feet and 5.5 trillion cubic feet, respectively, as compared with 12.2 trillion cubic feet in the Reference case. The High and Low Shale EUR cases show the largest variation in shale gas production, as well as the greatest variation in natural gas prices. The High and Low Shale Recovery cases show less variation in production and natural gas prices. In the Low Shale Recovery case, shale gas production totals 8.2 trillion cubic feet in 2035, as compared with 15.1 trillion cubic feet in the High Shale Recovery case. Even in the Low Shale EUR case, however, with the lowest production projections, overall growth in U.S. natural gas production is still primarily the result of an increase in shale gas production from the 2009 level of 3.3 trillion cubic feet.Price impacts in the High and Low Shale Recovery cases are less pronounced, because the cost per unit of production from each shale formation is the same as in the Reference case. Instead, the recoverable shale gas volume associated with each formation is varied, leading to a corresponding change in the level of drilling required to recover the gas. In the Low Shale Recovery case, the Henry Hub natural gas price in 2035 is $1.10 per million Btu or 16 percent higher than in the Reference case. In the High Shale Recovery case, the Henry Hub price is $1.04 per million Btu or 15 percent lower than in the Reference case. As discussed below, other types of domestic natural gas production and imports are aected by, and reected in, changes in natural gas prices across the shale gas analysis cases.In the Low Shale EUR and Low Shale Recovery cases, with higher natural gas prices, total U.S. natural gas consumption in 2035 is 2.4 trillion cubic feet and 1.2 trillion cubic feet lower, respectively, than the Reference case projection of 26.6 trillion cubic feet. Conversely, in the High Shale EUR and High Shale Recovery cases, with lower natural gas prices, total U.S. natural gas consumption in 2035 is 3.1 trillion cubic feet and 1.7 trillion cubic feet higher, respectively, than the Reference case projection.Natural gas consumption in the specic end-use sectors varies similarly with changes in natural gas prices: higher prices result in less consumption, and lower prices result in more consumption. The electric power sector shows the greatest sensitivity to changes in natural gas prices. In the Low Shale EUR and Low Shale Recovery cases, natural gas use for electric power generation in 2035 is 6.4 trillion cubic feet and 7.1 trillion cubic feet, respectively, compared with 7.9 trillion cubic feet in the Reference case in 2035. In the High Shale EUR and High Shale Recovery cases, total natural gas use for electricity generation in 2035 is 9.6 trillion cubic feet and 8.9 trillion cubic feet, respectively (higher than in the Reference case).Natural gas consumption in the electric power sector is more responsive to price changes than in the other sectors, because much of the electric power sector's fuel consumption is determined by the dispatching of existing generation units based on the operating cost of each unit, which in turn is determined largely by the costs of competing fuels, such as coal and ProjectionLow Shale EURLow Shale RecoveryReferenceHigh Shale Recovery High Shale EURHenry Hub spot natural gas prices (2009 dollars per million Btu) 9.26 8.17 7.07 6.03 5.35Total U.S. natural gas production (trillion cubic feet) 22.4 24.6 26.3 28.5 30.1Onshore lower 48 17.2 19.6 23.1 25.5 27.2Shale gas 5.5 8.2 12.2 15.1 17.1Other gas11.711.4 10.8 10.4 10.1Oshore lower 48 3.5 3.2 3.1 2.8 2.7Alaska 1.8 1.8 0.2 0.2 0.2Total net U.S. natural gas imports (trillion cubic feet) 1.7 0.7 0.2-0.3-0.5Total U.S. natural gas consumption (trillion cubic feet) 24.1 25.4 26.6 28.3 29.6Electric power 6.4 7.1 7.9 8.9 9.6Residential 4.6 4.7 4.8 4.9 4.9Commercial 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.1 Industrial 7.5 7.8 8.0 8.4 8.7 Other 2.0 2.1 2.1 2.2 2.3 U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 40 Issues in focusnatural gas. Natural gas use in the end-use consumption sectors is generally less responsive to variations in fuel prices, because opportunities to switch to other fuels typically arise only when a new facility is built, or when an existing facility's equipment is retired or replaced.Other sources of natural gas supply also respond to changes in shale gas production and natural gas prices across the shale gas analysis cases. Higher shale gas production tends to imply lower production of other natural gas. For example, other onshore lower 48 natural gas production in 2035 varies by 1.6 trillion cubic feet, and oshore lower 48 natural gas production varies by 0.8 trillion cubic feet, between the High and Low Shale EUR cases.The volume of Alaska natural gas production is determined largely by the presence or absence of an Alaska natural gas pipeline to transport gas into Alberta, Canada, where the gas would be transshipped to the lower 48 States. Whether and when an Alaska gas pipeline is built depends on whether lower 48 natural gas prices are su~ciently high to allow recovery of the pipeline's capital and operating expenses while also providing a su~cient natural gas price at the North Slope wellhead. In the Low Shale EUR and Low Shale Recovery cases, an Alaska gas pipeline begins operation in 2026 and in 2030, respectively, delivering 3.8 billion cubic feet per day into the lower 48 natural gas market.Just as natural gas prices determine the levels of domestic gas production and consumption, they also determine the level of net natural gas imports, with higher gas prices resulting in higher net natural gas imports. The High Shale EUR and High Shale Recovery cases are particularly noteworthy, because projected natural gas prices in those cases are su~ciently low to cause increases in Mexico's imports of U.S. natural gas that, in 2035, make the United States a net exporter of natural gas, with net exports totaling about 0.5 and 0.3 trillion cubic feet, respectively. U.S. net exports could be even greater if domestic LNG export terminals were developed, but this is not represented in the AEO models in the High Shale EUR and High Shale Recovery cases. Under the higher prices associated with the Low Shale EUR and Low Shale Recovery cases, the United States is a net importer of natural gas in 2035, with net imports totaling 1.7 and 0.7 trillion cubic feet year (7 percent and 3 percent of consumption), respectively.8. Cost uncertainties for new electric power plantsCapital costs are a key consideration in decisions about the type of new generating plant or capacity addition that will be built to meet future demand for electricity. Capital costs for new power plants include materials, skilled labor, and generating equipment. For AEO2011, EIA commissioned a study of the cost components for dierent utility-scale electric power technologies, with the goal of presenting costs for dierent plant types in a common set of cost categories to facilitate comparison of capital costs. A major change from previous years in assumptions for the cost study included a signicant increase in the assumed costs for coal and nuclear power projects [
| |
| 58].There is, however, a great deal of uncertainty about future capital costs for all generating technologies. The completion of initial projects could yield experience that enables costs for future projects to be reduced, through a "learning by doing" process. A slow economic recovery could soften demand for the materials and labor used in building new power plants, which also could lower construction costs. Conversely, a failure to "learn" increases in the costs of labor and key commodities, or an uncertain outlook for the economy in general could increase the costs of future projects.Because some plant types-coal, nuclear, and most renewables-are more capital-intensive than others (in particular, natural gas), the mix of future capacity installations and consequently the fuels used for power generation depends on both the relative and absolute level of capital costs. If construction costs increase proportionately for plants of all types, leaving relative costs unchanged, natural-gas-fired capacity will be more economical than the more capital-intensive coal and nuclear technologies. Over the longer term, higher construction costs could lead to higher electricity prices, which could slow the growth of electricity consumption.
| |
| Case descriptionsSeveral alternative cases assuming dierent trends in capital costs for power plant construction were used to examine the implications of dierent cost paths for new power plant construction. Because there is a correlation between rising power plant construction costs and rising commodity prices, construction costs in AEO2011 are tied to a producer price index for metals and metal products.The nominal index is converted to a real annual cost factor, using 2013 as the base year. The resulting cost factor for the Reference case remains nearly at in the early years of the projection, then declines through the end of the projection, so that the construction cost factors in 2035 are nearly 20 percent lower than in 2011. As a result, future capital costs are lower even before technology learning adjustments are applied. The cost factor remains constant across all technology types.
| |
| In the Frozen Plant Capital Cost case, base overnight construction costs for all new electricity generating technologies are assumed to remain constant at 2015 levels, when the cost factor peaks in the Reference case. Cost decreases can still occur as a result of technology learning, but overall decreases are slower than in the Reference case. In 2035, capital costs for each technology are roughly 25 percent higher in the Frozen Plant Capital Cost case than in the Reference case.
| |
| 41U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focus In the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case, base overnight construction costs for each generating technology in 2010 is 20 percent lower than in the Reference case in 2010, and they decline more rapidly in the projection. In 2035, capital costs for all technologies are about 40 percent lower in the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case than in the Reference case.Other alternative cost cases focus on specic technologies to examine the eects of cost reductions that could occur more rapidly for a given technology (for example, as a result of research and development funding or international learning experience).
| |
| In the Low Nuclear Cost case, capital and operating costs for new nuclear capacity are 20 percent lower than in the Reference case in 2010, and they fall to 40 percent lower in 2035.
| |
| In the Low Fossil Technology Cost case, capital and operating costs for each new fossil-red generating technology is 20 percent lower than in the Reference case in 2010, and they fall to 40 percent lower in 2035.
| |
| Capacity additionsOverall capacity requirements and the mix of generating types change across the cases. In the Reference case, 223 gigawatts of new generating capacity are added from 2010 to 2035, as compared with 216 gigawatts in the Frozen Capital Cost case and 272gigawatts in the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case, where higher and lower electricity prices, respectively, lead to changes in total electricity demand. In addition, slightly more existing capacity is retired in the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case, because new capacity is less expensive, and some older plants are retired and replaced with new capacity.In all the cost cases, the majority of new capacity is natural-gas-red (Figure 32). In the Frozen Plant Capital Cost case, builds of all types drop slightly from the level in the Reference case, but the mix of new generating capacity is similar to that in the Reference case. In the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case, more new capacity of all types is built than in the Reference case, with nuclear and renewables both capturing slightly higher shares of total capacity builds. The increase in renewable capacity builds the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case consists primarily of wind capacity.In the cases that focus on specic technologies, the mix of capacity builds changes to favor those with declining costs. In the Low Fossil Technology Cost case, all coal- and natural-gas red capacity is less expensive to build than in the Reference case, but the costs for nuclear and renewable capacity are the same as those in the Reference case. As a result, more coal and natural gas capacity is built, and less renewable capacity. Similarly, in the Low Nuclear Cost case, total additions of new nuclear capacity increase to 25 gigawatts, from 6 gigawatts in the Reference case. The new nuclear capacity primarily displaces natural-gas-red capacity.
| |
| Electricity generation and pricesThe alternative capital cost cases have smaller impacts on the overall mix of generation by fuel type, because capital cost assumptions do not aect the operation of existing capacity. Coal maintains the largest share of total generation in 2035 in all the cases, varying only from 42 percent to 44 percent across all the cases (Figure 33). The renewable share of generation in 2035 also remains fairly constant at 14 percent to 15 percent in all the cases, because the requirements of dierent State and regional RPS programs still must be met. In the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case, generation from biomass co-ring is lower than in the Reference case, and wind generation provides more of the renewable requirement, because generating costs for new technologies, including wind, are lower than the costs for biomass co-ring. The nuclear share of total generation in 2035 is between 17 and 18 percent in all but one of the cases, increasing to 20 percent in the Low Nuclear Cost case.

In the Decreasing Plant Capital Cost case, electricity prices in 2035 are 4 percent lower than in the Reference case. In the Lower Nuclear Cost and Low Fossil Technology Cost cases, where only those two technologies are aected, price changes are smaller than those in the cases where all technologies were adjusted (Figure 34).9. Carbon capture and storage: Economics and issuesBackgroundCarbon capture and storage (CCS) is a process in which CO 2 is separated from emission streams and injected into geologic formations, avoiding its release into the atmosphere. Typically, the captured CO 2 is transported by pipeline from the emissions source to a suitable storage site.Capturing and storing CO 2 from power plants and industrial processes adds signicant capital and operating costs. In some cases, captured CO 2 may have considerable value-for example, it may be sold to oil producers for use in CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In some mature oil elds, producers can recover signicantly more of the oil in place by injecting CO 2 into a well. CO 2-EOR has been used in the United States for more than 30 years, providing experience in transporting and injecting CO 2 as well as increasing petroleum production [
| |
| 59]. However, broad deployment of CCS technology would require additional incentives to be economical, beyond the value added from CO 2-EOR. At present, CCS activity is limited to a few large-scale tests around the world, largely funded by governments.Wide-scale adoption of CCS could allow for continued widespread use of fossil fuels in a low-carbon energy system. Signicant barriers to the technology remain, however, such as the cost of building and operating capture-ready industrial facilities, the feasibility of permanently storing CO 2 underground, and the di~culty of constructing signicant infrastructure to transport CO 2 to injection sites. Such challenges would have to be overcome in order to enable widespread deployment of CCS. The preponderance of expected costs for CCS deployment are for capturing and compressing the CO
| |
| : 2. However, uncertainty in the cost of permanent storage is also signicant.Current research on CCS is focused on lowering the cost of carbon capture and validating the feasibility of permanent CO 2 storage. The primary goal of the research is to make CCS viable for fossil fuel power plants, which are the largest potential source of CO 2 for CCS and present the most di~cult technical hurdles in making CCS economically feasible. A few industrial processes, such as ethanol and ammonia production, yield emissions that are nearly pure CO 2, mitigating the technical challenge and energy intensity of CO 2 capture.In 2009, CO 2-EOR operators injected nearly 50 million metric tons of CO 2 into operating domestic oil wells, most of which was obtained from natural sources. However, the limited supply of natural CO 2 has provided enough incentive for a few facilities to capture anthropogenic CO
| |
| : 2. This activity has also nanced the construction of several pipelines to transport CO 2 to oil elds. There is potential for more early adopters of CCS to continue receiving payments from CO 2-EOR operators, but the quantity of CO 2 that potentially could be used for EOR is small in comparison with the 2.2 billion metric tons emitted in the U.S. power sector in 2009.Table 9 lists the ve commercial-scale CCS projects now in operation worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency. All the projects shown in Table 9 are being monitored over the long term, to ensure that the stored CO 2 does not leak. This is why the Rangely Weber and Weyburn-Midale projects are counted as CCS demonstrations even though they are primarily EOR projects [
| |
| 60].Carbon captureIn order for CO 2 to be transported and stored, it must be isolated from emissions sources and compressed to a supercritical state [
| |
| 61]. For fossil fuel power plants, this is the most expensive component of CCS, because the ue gases of existing coal-red power plants contain only 12 to 14 percent CO 2, and those from existing natural-gas-red power plants contain only 3 to 4 percent CO 2 [62]. Existing technologies for capturing the CO 2 from dilute ue gases are energy-intensive, and consequently their operating costs are high. The National Energy Technology Laboratory is supporting research focused on the development of technologies that can lower the cost of capture, either by developing techniques to lower the cost of purifying dilute CO 2 streams or by increasing the purity of CO 2 in the ue gases of fossil fuel power plants.

| |
| 63].CO 2 emissions from fossil-fuel power plants can be captured through pre-combustion, post-combustion, or oxy-combustion processes. In the near term, the most likely approach for capturing CO 2 from existing coal-red power plants is to retrot them with post-combustion capture systems, in which ue gas is treated with a solvent (usually, an amine or chilled ammonia) to separate CO 2 from the ue gas before it is released to the atmosphere. Not all existing fossil fuel power plants can be retrotted for CCS, however, given the costs, space requirements, and need for access to cooling water, all of which can contribute to making a project infeasible.CCS technology may be more easily integrated as part of a new fossil-fuel plant, where cost and e~ciency savings could be realized by including CCS in the initial design. New coal-red plants with CCS can be built with post-combustion capture systems, similar to retrots, or with pre-combustion capture systems that gasify the coal and capture CO 2 from the newly formed syngas before combustion. Retrotting natural-gas-red combined-cycle plants with post-combustion technology is also a possibility, as are new natural gas power plants with pre-combustion capture. Carbon capture technologies currently are in the early stages of development, and it is unclear which may be developed on a commercial scale.
| |
| CO 2 pipelinesOnce captured, CO 2 must be transported to a suitable site for sequestration or EOR. The most cost-eective method is to move CO 2 , compressed to a supercritical state, by pipeline. The technology for building pipelines to transport gases over long distances is mature, based on experience with natural gas pipelines, as well as more than 3,000 miles of CO 2 pipelines currently in use to supply CO 2-EOR elds. Large-scale adoption of CCS is likely to require signicant construction of new pipelines. Interstate CO 2 pipelines (unlike natural gas pipelines) are not regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the lack of national eminent domain authority to ease construction [
| |
| 64] represents a possible impediment to the development of a national pipeline network.Geologic sequestration and CO 2-EORSeveral types of geologic formation have been identied as being suitable for permanent carbon sequestration. Key requirements for a formation that can be used for CO 2 storage include being able to store CO 2 cost-eectively, prevent leakage of injected CO 2, and avoiding interference with other valuable geologic formations, such as freshwater aquifers. The largest contributors to the costs of sequestration are the drilling, operating, and monitoring of wells. Cost-eective storage depends largely on the ability of a eld to store the CO 2 densely so as to limit the number of injection wells required. Permanent storage capabilities depend on the presence of an impermeable cap rock and lack of faults or uncapped well bores to the surface. Depleted oil and gas elds, deep saline aquifers, and unmineable coal seams all meet these criteria, and all have been identied as good candidates for sequestration. Basalt formations and oshore sediments may also prove to be feasible in the future [
| |
| 65].In the United States, many specic formations have been identied as suitable for sequestration; however, their potential costs and capacities are uncertain. With the exception of depleted oil and gas elds, the geology of sequestration opportunities is not well characterized, and the behavior of injected supercritical CO 2 is not completely understood. It has been estimated that the cost of injection in a saline aquifer can vary by a factor of 3 within a single formation, depending on the geology of the aquifer. Furthermore, injection costs can vary between reservoirs by orders of magnitude [

Current research is focused on characterizing the geology of sequestration sites and developing methods to estimate capacities and the feasibility of permanently storing CO 2 in specic formations accurately.Until now, U.S. experience with injecting CO 2 underground has largely been limited to CO 2-EOR. Natural sources of CO 2 comprise a majority of current supply, but some anthropogenic CO 2, largely from natural gas processing plants, is captured and used for CO 2-EOR [67]. As long as CO 2 is a valuable commodity, CO 2-EOR operators will maximize oil production to the extent possible and attempt to recover as much injected CO 2 as they can, but there will be little interest in permanent storage. However, CO 2-EOR has helped to establish a market for captured CO 2 and has provided a better understanding of the technical issues involved in injecting CO 2.Table 9.

In the Reference case oil producers are assumed to purchase CO 2 from emitters in several industries at a price that gives emitters su~cient economic incentive to capture their emissions. Interregional CO 2 pipelines may be constructed if oil prices and EOR opportunities make them economical. Pipeline construction is delayed, however, by the time required to get permits and construct such large projects.In the Reference case, CO 2-EOR plays an increasing role in U.S. petroleum production. Early in the projection period, most CO 2 is obtained from natural sources (Figure 35). As demand for CO 2 increases beyond the capacity of natural sources, industrial emitters with relatively pure streams of CO 2 begin to capture and sell the CO 2 to EOR operators. No anthropogenic CO 2 is captured from power plants beyond the 2 gigawatts of advanced coal with sequestration that is assumed to be supported by Federal incentives, because the cost is too high for oil producers to implicitly fund the construction of a CCS-capable power plant. CO 2-EOR supports more than 1.1 million barrels per day of domestic oil production in 2035 in the Reference case, nearly 4 times the CO 2-EOR production level in 2009. CO 2-EOR provides 19 percent of total U.S. crude oil production in 2035.Oil prices represent a key uncertainty for future CO 2-EOR projects, because they are the most signicant factor in determining the economic feasibility of projects. Other major uncertainties are the amount of CO 2 available to oil producers and the CO 2 emissions cost required to give emitters enough incentive to capture it. In 2035, more than 125 million metric tons CO 2 per year is captured from anthropogenic sources outside the power sector-equivalent to more than 10 percent of the 1,147 million metric tons of direct CO 2 emissions from the industrial sector in 2035. Because not all industrial emissions are su~ciently pure to be captured cheaply, the Reference case results for CO 2-EOR imply that a large proportion of all CO 2 emissions from ethanol fermentation, CTL and BTL plants, hydrogen production in reneries, ammonia plants, and natural gas processing plants will be captured for sale.GHG Price Economywide caseAn additional case, which includes a CO 2 price, illustrates the potential role for CCS in mitigating U.S. CO 2 emissions. In the GHG Price Economywide case, the CO 2 price (in 2009 dollars) rises from $25 per ton in 2013 to $77 per ton in 2035, encouraging the deployment of CCS technology in the power sector. Due to lower capital costs and relatively low natural gas prices, natural gas combined-cycle plants with sequestration are cheaper to build than advanced coal plants with sequestration (Figure 36), although a signicant number of existing coal-red power plants are retrotted for CCS after 2030. Additional carbon capture capability is constructed for CTL and BTL plants in the rening sector. Commercial-scale CTL and BTL plants with CCS provide a relatively inexpensive source of CO 2 that can be used for EOR.One factor that could limit future CO 2-EOR activity is the availability of CO

| : 2. In the GHG Price Economywide case, emitters have an economic incentive to capture and store CO 2, given the cost of emitting CO 2 into the atmosphere. In this case, oil producers can purchase CO 2 captured from power plants, with the price to oil producers decreasing as the amount of CO 2 captured increases due to the higher CO 2 supply.0 50 100 150 200 250 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035Natural sources (EOR)Anthropogenic sources (EOR)Power sector (non

CCS capacity additions in the U.S. electric power sector in the GHG Price Economywide case, 2015-2035 (gigawatts) 45U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focusOil producers cannot use all the CO 2 that is captured in the electricity and rening sectors in the GHG Price Economywide case, especially in the later years of the projection period. As a result, signicant quantities of CO 2 are sequestered in non-EOR geologic elds (Figure 37). However, despite the low-cost sources of CO 2 for oil producers that come on line after 2015 in the GHG Price Economywide case, there is only a relatively small increase (127,000 barrels per day) in domestic petroleum production, primarily because of the relatively late timing of CCS installations in the power sector and a limit to the number of oil elds suitable for CO 2-EOR that are not already developed in the Reference case.An alternative viewpoint on the eect that a U.S. carbon mitigation policy could have on CO 2-EOR production is provided in a recent report by Advanced Resources International (ARI) [
| |
| 68], which suggests that as much as 3.6 million barrels per day of incremental oil production could have been stimulated if the American Clean Energy and Security Act had passed in 2009. That analysis is not fully comparable with the AEO2011 projections, however, because the ARI projection was based in part on an earlier version of the National Energy Modeling System that did not fully incorporate a comprehensive framework for developing EOR elds, pipeline infrastructure, and deployment of the technology.Other sensitivity casesTwo sensitivity cases illustrate the uncertainties in the Reference case projections for CO 2-EOR production. The Low EOR case assumes that the amount of inexpensive, anthropogenic CO 2 that can be accessed by oil producers is lower than in the Reference case. The Low EOR/GHG Price Economywide case adds the GHG Price Economywide case assumptions to those of the Low EOR case.Figure 38 shows projected CO 2-EOR volumes in the Reference case, GHG Price Economywide case, Low EOR case, and Low EOR/GHG Price Economywide case. The Low EOR case and the Low EOR/GHG Price Economywide case show a stronger response of CO 2-EOR to the increase in availability of CO 2 from carbon capture as a result of the assumed carbon policy. In the Low EOR case, there is signicant unsatised demand for CO 2 at elds that are suitable for EOR. The GHG price provides a means for that demand to be satised.10. Power sector environmental regulations on the horizonThe EPA is expected to enact several key regulations in the coming decade-pertaining to air emissions, solid waste, and cooling water intake-that will aect the U.S. electric power sector, particularly the eet of coal-red power plants. In order to comply with those new regulations, existing coal-red plants may need extensive environmental control retrots if they are to remain in operation [
| |
| 69]. Because the nal makeup of the expected rules is uncertain, AEO2011 includes alternative cases that assume dierent variations of possible retrot requirements. They should be viewed as sensitivity cases, rather than projections of what is likely to happen.Background on rulesTransport RuleThe Transport Rule, proposed by the EPA in July 2010 [
| |
| 70], is designed to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO
| |
| : 2) and nitrous oxide (NO x) from electric power plants in the eastern half of the United States. The purpose of the rule is to assist States in complying with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ne particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ground-level ozone

| [71]. The EPA determined that a major reason many States were not meeting the NAAQS for PM 2.5 and ozone was emissions from 0 200 400 600 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035Electric power sector:

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 46 Issues in focuspower plants in upwind States. Accordingly, the Transport Rule establishes State-level emissions caps designed to limit the eects of power plant emissions on the air quality of neighboring States.The Transport Rule was developed to address legal aws in the EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), which was vacated by the U.S. District Court of Appeals in 2008 [
| |
| 72]. First proposed in 2005, CAIR would have established an interstate cap-and-trade system for SO 2 and NO x emissions in 28 eastern States, designed to meet the same goals as the Transport Rule. The court ruled that CAIR could not be implemented under the Clean Air Act, concluding that a broad regional cap-and-trade system would not guarantee improved air quality in specic local regions, as required by CAA. The court temporarily reinstated CAIR in December 2008, but it ordered the EPA to revise the rule to address the aws cited. The EPA included limits on interstate trading in the newly proposed Transport Rule specically for that purpose.In June 2010, the EPA proposed three versions of the Transport Rule. The EPA's preferred option would cap emissions in each participating State, allow for a limited amount of emissions trading between States, and permit unlimited intrastate trading. A second alternative would prohibit any interstate trading but allow intrastate trading. A third option would disallow all emissions trading. The EPA is expected to announce a nal rule in the spring of 2011.In designing the Transport Rule, the EPA determined that 28 States have SO 2 emissions levels high enough to contribute signicantly to PM 2.5 nonattainment in downwind States, and that 26 States have NO x emissions levels high enough to contribute to ozone nonattainment. The Transport Rule would require each of those States to reduce emissions to a dened cap by 2012. An additional 15 States would be required to reduce SO 2 emissions further by 2014 (Table 10).In addition, the EPA is considering lowering the NAAQS for annual ozone concentrations from the current limit of 75 parts per billion. If it does, additional reductions in NO x emissions from power plants probably will be required beyond the sensitivity case evaluated here. The EPA has hinted that this would be done by increasing the stringency of the Transport Rule for NO x at some point in the future.There are several possible strategies for reducing SO 2 emissions from coal-red power plants: plant owners can use lower sulfur coal in their boilers, retire plants without emissions controls, or install emissions control equipment-primarily, ue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers. There are two key types of FGD scrubbers, wet and dry. Wet scrubbers remove SO 2 from post-combustion ue gas by using a wet alkaline solution, typically containing limestone. Dry scrubbers send the ue gas through a semi-dry alkaline sorbent that removes the SO 2 [73]. AEO2011 assumes that all future SO 2 control systems will consist of wet FGD scrubbers.For NO x there are two basic emissions reduction technologies: combustion and post-combustion. Combustion technologies adjust the combustion reaction so that less NO x is produced. Post-combustion technologies remove NO x from the exhaust after it is produced. The choice of control technology is based on plant-specic characteristics, such as unit capacity, boiler conguration, and coal type. Combustion retrots generally are accomplished by modifying existing boilers so that less NO x is produced in the combustion process-usually a less costly option but also less eective at removing emissions than post-combustion controls.There are two types of post combustion NO x controls: selective catalytic converters (SCRs) and selective noncatalytic converters (SNCRs). Both technologies use a reagent (typically ammonia or urea) to react with the ue gas in order to reduce NO x to nitrogen and water. In SCRs the reaction occurs in the presence of a catalyst bed; in SNCRs the catalyst bed is not included. The catalyst increases the cost and scale of a retrot project, but it also increases the e~ciency of NO x removal. SCRs also are more easily scaled up, which makes them a more eective option for larger plants. The most stringent pollution control case in AEO2011 assumes that all plants not currently using NO x controls will be required to install SCRs.Utility boiler MACTIn March 2011, the EPA proposed rules to regulate emissions of mercury, other metals, and acid gases from power plants. The rules are intended to enforce Section 112 of the Clean Air Act's limits on emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from electric power plants. The rule requires that all power plants larger than 25 megawatts capacity install the MACT needed to reduce emissions of aected pollutants to levels that match the performance of top-performing plants of the same type. Hydrogen chloride (HCl) and PM 2.5 were used as proxies for all acid gases and for metals other than mercury, respectively, because they would tend to be captured by the same control devices. The rule is intended to result in the removal of 91 percent of mercury and HCl from the emissions of coal-red power plants and the installation of fabric lters at all plants in order to meet the PM limits.Table 10.

In 2005, the EPA proposed a cap-and-trade system for mercury under the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR). However, regulating with a cap-and-trade policy required that the EPA rst remove mercury from the HAPs list. That action was challenged in court by several States and environmental organizations, and as a result the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated CAMR in 2008 [
| |
| 75].Despite the court's ruling, the EPA still is required by the CAA to regulate mercury emissions from power plants. The utility boiler MACT rules are intended to fulll that obligation. Currently, there are 189 listed HAPs. In developing the MACT standards, the EPA determines the emissions of each of those pollutants from power plant boilers. In its proposed rule, the EPA has designated certain pollutants as "proxy" pollutants, meaning that the regulation of one substance could serve to cover others. The rule is expected to be nalized by November 2011. After it is issued, power plant owners will have until 2015 to comply, although extensions of up to 2 years may be granted.Mercury emissions from power plants can be reduced by fabric lters and activated carbon injection (ACI) systems, which work by injecting powdered carbon into ue gases to bind the mercury and then using particulate control equipment, such as fabric lters, to remove it. Mercury can also be removed by equipment designed to reduce other pollutants, such as FGD scrubbers. FGD scrubbers are especially eective in reducing mercury from bituminous coal emissions, due to its particular chemical makeup. ACI systems may be necessary to remove mercury from subbituminous and lignite coal emissions. In the sensitivity cases discussed here, all coal-red plants are required to reduce mercury emissions by 90 percent.Acid gas can be removed through the use of FGD scrubbers or direct sorbent injection (DSI). DSI has lower capital costs than FGD scrubbers, but the technology has not yet been widely deployed in the power sector. In its regulatory impact analysis of the Air Toxics Rule, the EPA assumes signicant deployment of DSI [
| |
| 76]. Because of DSI's relatively low capital costs, the EPA sees it as an attractive, low-cost way for smaller coal plants with lower utilization factors to comply with the rule and continue operating. Other analyses are not as optimistic on the prospect of DSI. For example, a study by the Edison Electric Institute on the impacts of several proposed EPA rules for the power sector shows DSI being installed on only 9 gigawatts of capacity to comply with the utility boiler MACT [77]. In order to represent a more stringent case, AEO2011 assumes that FGDs will be needed for compliance with the rule.Several key economic factors can inuence owners' decisions as to whether older power plants should be retrotted or retired. The stringency of regulations, compliance costs, remaining life of a plant, fuel prices, and expectations regarding electricity demand and prices all may be considered. Plant owners must determine whether expected future revenues from their plants over their remaining lives will be su~cient to recover the investment in new equipment needed to comply with environmental regulations. Key variables in the determination are the costs of retrot equipment and future electricity prices.Because natural gas often is the marginal fuel for electricity generation, low natural gas prices make it more likely that older coal-red plants will be retired. Low natural gas prices reduce the overall cost of generating electricity, eventually leading to reduced revenues from coal-red plants. The updated estimates of capital costs for coal and nuclear power plants in AEO2011 are 25 to 37 percent higher than those used in AEO2010, whereas capital costs for natural gas combined-cycle plants are essentially unchanged Potential regulation of coal combustion residualsIn June 2010, the EPA released a proposal for regulating coal combustion residuals (CCRs) from electric power plants under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Two options given by the EPA were to regulate CCRs under Subtitle C of the RCRA, which would classify CCRs as a hazardous waste pollutant, or Subtitle D, which would classify them as a nonhazardous waste pollutant. By dening CCRs as hazardous, Subtitle C would place more stringent regulations on the storage of coal ash, which probably would result in the closure of surface ash impoundments.Subtitle D would require the EPA to establish a national criterion for permitting CCR disposal but would leave implementation of such a system to the States. Under Subtitle D, the EPA is considering two options for existing surface impoundments, which are referred to as "Subtitle D" and "Subtitle D Prime." The primary dierence between the two options is that, under Subtitle D, existing surface impoundments would either have to be retrotted with composite liners or cease receiving CCRs within 5 years, while under the Subtitle D Prime, existing surface impoundments could continue to operate to the end of their useful lifetimes without the installation of composite liners. RCRA Subtitle C would require active regulation by the EPA. Under Subtitle D, the main vehicle for enforcement would be citizen lawsuits. As of January 2011, the EPA was reviewing comments on the proposed rule, with a nal rule expected to be released in 2011.In complying with the proposed regulations for CCRs, plants could face increased costs for CCR disposal, depending on specic plant characteristics. Plants with on-site coal ash impounds could incur costs for retrots or replacements. Plants with wet ash handling systems could be required to switch to dry ash handling systems. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has already announced that it will replace all wet ash handling systems with dry systems across its entire coal-red eet (about 17 gigawatts total capacity). TVA estimates that the investment required for the conversion will be between $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion over the next 10 years [
| |
| 74]. However, because of uncertainty about the makeup of the nal rule and the di~culty of assessing project costs, which are inherently site-specic, the potential CCR regulations are not included in any AEO2011 cases.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 48 Issues in focusfrom AEO2010. In addition, projected natural gas prices in the AEO2011 Reference case are lower than those in AEO2010, reducing the levelized costs of generation for new natural gas power plants. Consequently, new combined-cycle plants are an attractive alternative for replacing capacity lost as a result of coal-red plant retirements.Uncertainty about future GHG regulations continues to loom in power sector investment decisions. Despite a lack of Congressional action, many utilities include a CO 2 emissions price in their long-term investment decisions [
| |
| 79]. A carbon price would increase the cost of generation for all fossil fuel plants, but the largest impact would be on coal-red generation. Thus, plant owners could be reluctant to retrot existing coal plants, given the possibility that GHG regulations might be enacted in the near future. This uncertainty may inuence the expectations of plant owners about the economic lives of particular facilities.In the Reference case and most of the alternative cases for AEO2011, existing power plants are assumed to continue operating for at least 20 years, allowing the costs of environmental retrots to be recovered over a 20-year period. In addition, AEO2011 includes two cases described below, which assume that investors will implement retrots only if their costs can be recovered over a 5-year period, given their concern that future laws or regulations aimed at limiting GHG emissions present a signicant risk to the long-term operation of the aected units.

| Analysis casesTransport Rule Mercury MACT 20 caseThe Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 case assumes that the Transport Rule will be enacted in 2014, placing limits on SO 2 and NO x emissions. It also assumes a 90-percent MACT for mercury starting in 2015. This case assumes a 20-year capital recovery period for nancing FGD scrubbers and SCRs.Transport Rule Mercury MACT 5 caseThis case is identical to the Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 case, except that it assumes a 5-year capital recovery period for nancing FGD scrubbers and SCRs.Retro~t Required 20 caseThe Retrot Required 20 case assumes more stringent regulation of air emissions from coal-red plants and utility boilers, requiring the installation of FGD scrubbers and SCRs. It is based on assumptions of more stringent utility boiler MACT requirements and future NO x emissions limits. Utility boiler MACT regulations are scheduled to be eective in 2015, but this case assumes a lag of several years to account for possible delays in implementation.Potential regulation of cooling water intakesSection 316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires facilities with cooling water intake structures to use the best technology available (BTA) to mitigate the environmental impacts of the systems-specically, damage to aquatic wildlife. In 2004, the EPA originally proposed regulation of existing power plants under Section 316(b), which is intended to apply to all facilities that remove at least 50 million gallons of water per day from the environment and use at least 25 percent of the water for cooling. A typical 500-megawatt plant with once-through cooling uses approximately 500 million gallons of cooling water per day. However, determining BTA as it applies to the CWA has been the subject of extensive legal delays, culminating in a Supreme Court case, which has delayed implementation of the rule [
| |
| 78]. Because of the Court's ruling, the EPA is able to consider both the costs and benets in the design of its nal rule. The EPA issued proposed standards for comment on March 28, 2011.In a once-through system, intake structures withdraw water for use in a thermal power plant's cooling system. Once used, the water is discharged back into the body of water at a higher temperature. Both the water intake and thermal discharge can cause signicant damage to local sh populations. In a closed-cycle cooling system, heat from the power plant is removed through evaporation in a nearby cooling tower. Closed-cycle systems require signicantly less water intake than once-through systems, mitigating much of the environmental damage associated with the cooling system.The determination of BTA for cooling water in power plants could have a substantial eect on the entire power sector. New York State and California already have issued rules that essentially require all plants in their States to have closed-loop cooling systems. If the same standard were implemented nationwide, extensive retrots would be required. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has estimated that 312 gigawatts of capacity currently in operation (252 gigawatts of fossil fuel capacity and 60 gigawatts of nuclear capacity) would be aected by such a rule. In some cases it may not be possible to install a closed-loop cooling system, and such a requirement could, therefore, cause some plants to be retired.Closed-loop cooling is considered the most stringent form of compliance with Section 316(b) of the CWA. Other methods of reducing sh mortality, such as wedge wires, variable speed pumps, and traveling water screens, may not be as eective as cooling towers, but they can be installed at much lower cost. In view of that uncertainty, the AEO2011 cases do not include compliance with Section 316(b).

The domestic shale gas resource assumption in this case comes from the AEO2011 High Shale EUR case (Figure 39).Low Gas Price Retro~t Required 5 caseThis case is identical to the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 case, except that it assumes a 5-year capital recovery period for nancing FGD scrubbers and SCRs.GHG Price Economywide caseThe GHG Price Economywide case assumes a price on CO 2 emissions that rises from $25 per ton (2009 dollars) in 2013 to $77 per ton in 2035. It does not include any specic provisions of the proposed Kerry-Lieberman and Waxman-Markey bills [

| ResultsCoal-~red plant retirementsRetirements of coal-red power plants in the dierent analysis cases vary with the assumed stringency of environmental rules, the assumed cost recovery period for retrot investments, natural gas price levels, and assumptions regarding future GHG regulations. Of the 316 gigawatts of coal-red capacity currently in operation in the United States, 117 gigawatts has no FGD scrubbers installed or currently under construction [
| |
| 81]. Lacking some of the controls necessary to comply with potential future regulations, those coal plants may be candidates for retirement if the regulations are enacted. Generally, the poorest performing plants, with the highest heat rates and lowest utilization rates, are the rst that might be retired. Table 11 shows the amount of capacity retired along with the retired plants average heat rates and capacity factors in each case.Projected retirements of coal-red capacity are higher in each of the analysis cases shown in Table 11 than in the Reference case. Because the emissions reduction requirements in CAIR and the Transport Rule are similar, increased retirements in the Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 and MACT 5 cases can be attributed to restrictions on allowance trading and to the Mercury MACT. In the Retrot Required 20 and Retrot Required 5 cases, explicit mandates are assumed to require the installation of FGDs and SCRs, so that retirement decisions are based on the costs of retrots. In the Retrot Required 20 case, most coal-red plants continue operating beyond 2020. In the Retrot Required 5 case, with only 5 years to recover the costs of installing retrots, the amount of coal-red capacity retired is more than double the amount retired in the Retrot Required 20 case.Lower natural gas prices in the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and Low Gas Price Retrot Required 5 cases lead to comparatively more retirements of coal-red capacity-39.5 and 72.6 gigawatts, respectively. Lower natural gas prices reduce the price of electricity in general, lowering power plant revenues. For natural-gas-red plants, revenue reductions are largely oset by lower fuel costs. For coal-red plants, assuming that coal prices do not change, there is no oset for the revenue declines, and retrot projects become uneconomical in some instances. The GHG Price Economywide case assumes a price on CO 2 emissions, which renders many existing coal-red plants uneconomical. As a result, retirements of coal-red capacity total 135 gigawatts by 2035.Retro~t equipment installationsIn the Retrot Required 20 and Retrot Required 5 cases, power plants are required to install FGD scrubbers and SCRs in order to continue operating after 2020, based on the assumption that stringent controls will be required by the EPA for compliance with clean air rules. The combined cost of the two retrots could range from $500 to $1,000 per kilowatt of capacity, depending on plant size and characteristics [
| |
| 82]. More retrots occur in the Retrot Required 20 case than in the Retrot Required 5 case, because the economics of retrot projects improve with the longer capital recovery period.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 50 Issues in focusThe Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 and Transport Rule Mercury MACT 5 cases mandate emissions reductions, but they do not require the installation of any particular control equipment. Therefore, while there are more retrot projects in these cases than in the Reference case, there are not nearly as many as in the Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, because there are other options for compliance with the rule, such as using more low-sulfur coal and dispatching uncontrolled plants less often-options that are not available in the Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases. In the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, lower prices for natural gas lead to lower overall electricity prices and lower plant revenues. There are fewer retrots in the Low Gas Price cases, because lower revenues make it less likely that plant owners will be able to recover their investments in the equipment.In the GHG Price Economywide case, 16 gigawatts of existing coal-red capacity is retrotted with CCS equipment. CCS is still unproven on a commercial scale, but AEO2011 assumes that the technology will be available as a carbon mitigation option if a su~cient CO 2 price is in place.Generation by fuelDespite the decline in coal-red capacity in all the analysis cases above, coal remains the largest single source of generation through 2035 in all but one of the cases (Figure 40). Even with more stringent emission caps, once a coal plant has been retrotted it becomes more economical to run, because SO 2 and NO x emission allowance costs are no longer incurred. Many of the coal plants that are retired have low utilization factors and high heat rates, and their contribution to overall coal generation is relatively small. In the Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, coal-red generation increases in 2020, as plants that overcome the regulatory hurdle and install retrots are run more frequently. In the Retrot Required 20 case, coal-red generation in 2035 is higher than in the Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 and 5 cases, as the retrotted plants are heavily utilized. Other than in the GHG Price Economywide case, electricity generation from coal is lowest in the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, where low natural gas prices stimulate construction of new natural gas plants to replace retired coal capacity, and existing gas-red capacity is dispatched more frequently, displacing additional coal-red generation. In the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, generation from coal in 2035 is 10 percent and 19 percent below the Reference case level, respectively. In the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 5 case, the natural gas and coal shares of total generation in 2035 are the same, at 34 percent.Natural-gas-fired electricity generation in 2035 is higher in all the cases (although it is lower in some earlier years) than in the Reference case. Rapid growth in gas-fired generation is supported by low natural gas prices and relatively low capital costs for new natural gas plants, which improve the relative economics of natural gas when regulatory pressure is placed on the existing coal fleet. Natural gas emits virtually no SO 2 and less NO x than does coal, making it a more attractive fuel for environmental compliance.In the Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 and 5 cases, generation from natural gas grows steadily throughout the projection. In the early years, gas-red generation is slightly higher than in the Reference case, because fuel switching is used as an option to comply with the exible requirements of the Transport Rule. In the Retrot Required 20 case, electricity generation from natural gas increases more slowly, and it is 4 percent lower than the Reference case level in 2025, when retrotted coal plants no longer incur costs for SO 2 and NO x emissions allowances (Figure 41). In the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, utilization of existing combined-cycle natural gas plants is higher throughout the projections, resulting in more gas-red generation. In all the cases, increases in natural-gas-red generation after 2025 result predominantly from the construction of new combined-cycle plants to meet growing demand for electricity and replace retired coal capacity.In the GHG Price Economywide case, coal-red generation declines steadily throughout the projection. In 2035, generation from coal is approximately 54 percent below the 2009 level, and 11 percent of the electricity generated from coal comes from either new or retrotted coal plants with CCS. Generation from natural gas increases by more than 90 percent from 2009 to 2035 in the GHG Price Economywide case. Natural gas is a more attractive fuel for complying with a GHG price, because when it is used Analysis caseCoal-~red capacity retired (gigawatts)Average size of coal-~red plants retired (megawatts)Average heat rate of coal-~red plants retired (million Btu per kilowatthour)Reference 8.8 93.0Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 13.5 91.4Transport Rule Mercury MACT 5 17.8 83.3Retrot Required 20 19.2 84.5Retrot Required 5 44.8 91.2Low Gas Price 15.6 104.0Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 39.5 97.8Low Gas Price Retrot Required 5 72.6 109.6GHG Price Economywide 135.2 157.0 51U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Issues in focusin an e~cient combined-cycle plant, it emits approximately 60 percent less CO 2 per kilowatthour of generation than coal burned in a typical existing plant. Toward the end of the projection, new natural gas plants with CCS are also built in the GHG Price Economywide case, and in 2035 13 percent of gas-red electricity generation is from plants with CCS.Generation from nuclear power is the same as in the AEO2011 Reference case in all cases, with the exception of the GHG Price Economywide and Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 cases. In the GHG Price Economywide case, generation from nuclear capacity increases as a result of additional capacity builds. In the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 case, 2.9 gigawatts of nuclear capacity is retired because electricity prices are low. Generation from renewables remains relatively unchanged from the Reference case level through 2035 in all cases.Fuel useHigh levels of electricity generation from natural gas generally mean more natural gas consumption. In all cases examined here, natural gas use in 2035 is higher than in the Reference case (Figure 42). The largest increase in natural gas consumption occurs in the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases, where natural gas consumption in 2035 is 23 percent and 36 percent higher, respectively, than in the Reference case, as well as in the GHG Price Economywide case, where natural gas consumption is 30 percent higher in 2035.Capacity additionsThe retirement of signicant amounts of coal-red capacity, combined with growth in electricity demand, necessitates the construction of additional generation capacity. Natural gas plants with lower generating costs make up the majority of new capacity in all cases, with the largest amount of new natural gas capacity constructed in the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases. Most of the new coal-red plants that are built have already been announced and are in either planning or construction stages. All new nuclear plants are built as a result of public policies (such as PTCs and the loan guarantee programs). A small amount of new coal-red capacity is built in the last few years of the Reference case projection, because natural gas prices rise. Renewable capacity additions are similar to the Reference case in all cases.In the GHG Price Economywide case there is signicantly more new capacity construction than in any of the other cases, as coal-red plants are retired and need to be replaced with low CO 2-emitting technologies (Figure 43). This includes 29 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity added through 2035. In the cases without a CO 2 emissions price, new nuclear power plants are built beyond those explicitly helped by the loan guarantee program. However, a price on CO 2 emissions raises the cost of electricity su~ciently for nuclear power (which releases no CO

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 52 Issues in focuscapacity, also a low-CO 2 source of electricity, are 36 percent higher in the GHG Price Economywide case than in the Reference case in 2035.EmissionsEmissions of SO 2 decline from Reference case levels in all cases, with more dramatic declines in the Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases. With the Transport Rule in force, SO 2 emissions decline to levels slightly below the Reference case level. The Reference case already includes CAIR, which remains in eect until the Transport Rule takes eect. CAIR features a exible trading system and allowance banking, resulting in slightly higher annual emissions toward the end of the projection and more variability in year-to-year emissions levels. Trading is more limited with the Transport Rule because of restrictions on the banking of allowances, which levels out emissions over the projection. NO x emissions are slightly higher with the Transport Rule than in the Reference case, because fewer NO x control retrots are built as a result of the higher NO x allowance prices under CAIR than under the Transport Rule. There are signicant reductions in SO 2 and NO x emissions in the four Retrot Required cases, where all coal-red plants that continue to operate through 2020 are required to be equipped with FGD and SCR. The Retrot Required 20 and 5 cases are assumed to be implemented nationwide, whereas the Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 and 5 cases apply only to the targeted States. Except for the Low Gas Price and GHG Price Economywide cases, all cases assume a 90-percent mercury MACT, which reduces mercury emissions signicantly from Reference case levels after 2015.

| CO 2 emissions from the electric power sector in 2035 are lower in all cases than in the Reference case because of the shift from coal-red to natural-gas-red generation, but with electricity demand increasing throughout the projection period they are higher than the 2009 level except in the GHG Price Economywide case (Figure 44). Coal-red plants that are not retired are used heavily, and natural gas plants still emit CO 2 albeit at a signicantly lower rate per kilowatthour than coal plants. In the GHG Price Economywide case, signicantly more coal-red capacity is retired than in the other cases, and more nuclear and renewable capacity, as well as coal and natural gas capacity equipped with CCS, is deployed.Electricity pricesElectricity prices in 2035 are less than 2 percent above the Reference case level in the Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20, Retrot Required 20, and Retrot Required 5 cases. The increase is relatively modest because several low-cost alternatives for complying with the regulations are available. When lower natural gas prices are assumed, the real price of electricity price declines relative to the Reference case price, as lower natural gas prices are reected in electricity prices. In the GHG Policy case, which assumes that the cost of CO 2 emissions allowances is passed through directly to customers, average electricity prices in 2035 are 38 percent higher than in the Reference case. However, the GHG Price Economywide case does not include any of the consumer rebates from the Waxman-Markey and Kerry-Lieberman bills, which have the eect of signicantly lowering electric prices.ReliabilityThe possible retirement of signicant amounts of coal-red generating capacity has raised concerns about reliability of the electric power grid. For example, the North American Electric Reliability Council has warned that EPA regulation of emissions from the power sector is a threat to reliability standards. Specic plants may be important to the reliability of a specic region, and if they are shut down before replacement capacity has been constructed, local reliability shortfalls could ensue. However, several safeguards exist to prevent such problems. Merchant plant owners must obtain permission from grid operators before retiring capacity [

From 2000 to 2009, about 190 gigawatts of natural-gas-red capacity was added in the U.S. electric power sector. In the AEO2011 Reference case another 135 gigawatts of natural-gas-red capacity is added from 2010 to 2035, and in the Low Gas Price case 154 gigawatts of new natural-gas-red capacity is added. Most of the new capacity is built after 2020 in both cases.

| If a wet FGD proves prohibitively expensive for smaller coal plants, other retrot options exist. Alternative SO 2 control technologies, such as DSI, have lower initial capital cost but higher operating costs than FGD's, making them potentially attractive for smaller to medium size coal plants. While some DSI systems are currently operating, the technology is still in early stages of commercialization. Since it is di~cult to assess their long term impact on the coal eet, they are not included in AEO2011.78.

| THIS PAGE IN TEN TIONALLY LEF T BLANK Market trendsProjections by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) are not statements of what will happen but of what might happen, given the assumptions and methodologies used for any particular case. The Reference case projection is a business-as-usual estimate, given known technology, technological, market, and demographic trends. The main cases in the Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) generally assume that current laws and regulations are maintained throughout the projec
| |
| -tions. Thus, the projections provide a baseline starting point that can be used to analyze policy initiatives. EIA explores the impacts of alternative assumptions in other cases with dierent macroeconomic growth rates, world oil prices, rates of technology progress, and policy changes. While energy markets are complex, energy models are simplied representations of energy production and consumption, regulations, and producer and consumer behavior. Projections are highly dependent on the data, methodologies, model structures, and assumptions used in their development. Behavioral characteristics are indicative of real-world tendencies rather than representations of specic outcomes.Energy market projections are subject to much uncertainty. Many of the events that shape energy markets are random and cannot be anticipated. In addition, future developments in technologies, demographics, and resources cannot be foreseen with certainty. Many key uncertainties in the AEO2011 projections are addressed through alternative cases.EIA has endeavored to make these projections as objective, reliable, and useful as possible; however, they should serve as an adjunct to, not a substitute for, a complete and focused analysis of public policy initiatives.

In the High Economic Growth case, population, and labor productivity grow faster than in the Reference case, leading to faster growth in capital stock, labor force, and employment. Potential output growth is faster, and as a result the annual growth rate of real GDP is 0.5 percent higher than in the Reference case. In the Low Economic Growth case, productiv

By 2020, real GDP and ination settle into the long-run 26-year average growth rates of 2.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. During the last ve years of the projection (2030-2035), real GDP growth slows to 2.5percent, reecting slowing growth in population. The Treasury note yield and unemployment rate average 5.8 percent and 5.1 per

Export growth supports U.S. employment, leading to lower unemployment rates and an improving trade balance over the projection period.AEO2011 presents three views of economic growth (Figure 45). The rate of growth in real gross domestic product (GDP) depends on assumptions about labor force growth and productivity. In the Reference case, growth in real GDP averages 2.7 percent per year due to a 0.7percent per year growth in the labor force and a 2.1 percent per year growth in labor productivity.GDP growth in 2010 partially osets the decline in 2009, helping GDP to recover to pre-recession levels by 2011. In the AEO2011 Reference case, economic recovery accelerates in 2012, while employment recovers more slowly. With the percentage losses in employment during the 2007-2009 recession roughly double those of the 1982 recession, the unemployment rate remains elevated for an extended period, returning to its pre-recession 2003 to 2007 average of 5.2 percent by 2022.The AEO2011 High and Low Economic Growth cases examine the impacts of alternative assumptions on the economy. The High Economic Growth case includes more rapid expansion of the labor force, nonfarm employment, and productivity, with real GDP growth averaging 3.2 percent per year from 2009 to 2035. With higher productivity gains and employment growth, ina

In the Low Economic Growth case, real GDP growth averages 2.1 percent per year from 2009 to 2035, with slower growth rates for the labor force, nonfarm employment, and labor productivity. Consequently, the Low Economic Growth case shows higher ination and interest rates and slower growth in industrial output.ReferenceLow Economic GrowthHigh Economic Growth 01.02.03.04.0Real GDPLabor forceProductivityFigure 45.

As the economy recovers and energy prices rise, energy expenditures grow to $1.7 trillion in 2035 in the Reference case, $1.9 trillion in the High Growth case, and $1.5 trillion in the Low Growth case (Figure 48). The energy intensity of the economy (thousand British thermal units [Btu] of energy consumed per dollar of real GDP) was 7.4 in 2009. With structural shifts in the economy, improving energy e~ciency, and higher real energy prices, U.S. energy intensity falls to 4.4 in 2035.From 2003 to 2008, rising oil and natural gas prices increased the energy expenditure share of nominal GDP; the 9.8-percent share in 2008 was the highest since 1985. In 2009, the average cost of oil to reners fell to $54 per barrel [
| |
| 85], natural gas prices fell by about half, and the energy expenditure share fell to 7.4 percent. The energy expenditure share declines throughout the projection (Figure 49), reecting economic growth and declines in energy intensity.Industrial sector output has grown more slowly than the over

| |
| -ing component grow by 1.7 percent per year and 1.9 percent per year, respectively (Figure 47). As the economy recovers from the recent recession, growth in U.S. manufacturing output in the Reference case accelerates from 2011 through 2020. After 2020, growth in both GDP and manufacturing output return to rates closer to the historical trend. Increased foreign com

| -petition, slow expansion of domestic production capacity, and higher energy prices increase competitive pressure on most manufacturing industries after 2020. These factors weigh par

From 2009 to 2035, real exports of goods and services grow at an average annual rate of 6.3 percent, and real imports of goods and services grow by an average of 4.6 percent per year.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 60The energy markets of the three North American nations (United States, Canada, and Mexico) are well integrated, with extensive infrastructure that allows cross-border trade between the United States and both Canada and Mexico. The United States, which is by far the region's largest energy consumer, relies on Canada and Mexico for supplies of liquid fuels. Canada and Mexico were the largest suppliers of U.S. liquids imports in 2009, providing 2.5 and 1.2 million barrels per day, respectively. In addition, Canada supplies the United States with substantial natural gas supplies, exporting 3.2 trillion cubic feet to U.S. markets in 2009 (Figure 51).
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, the existing trade relationships between the United States and the two other North American countries continue. In 2035, the United States still imports 2.6million barrels per day of liquid fuels from Canada and about 1.0 million barrels per day from Mexico. The improving prospects for domestic U.S. natural gas production, however, mean a smaller natural gas import requirement. In 2035, U.S. imports of Canadian natural gas fall to 2.8 trillion cubic feet. On the other hand, U.S. natural gas exports to both Canada and Mexico increase. Canada's imports of U.S. natural gas rise from 0.7 trillion cubic feet in 2009 to 1.0 trillion cubic feet in 2035, and Mexico's imports rise from 0.3 trillion cubic feet in 2009 to 1.6 trillion cubic feet in 2035.EIA's International Energy Outlook shows world marketed energy consumption increasing strongly over the projection period, rising by nearly 50 percent from 2009 through 2035 (Figure 50). Most of the growth occurs in emerging economies outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), especially in non-OECD Asia. Total non-OECD energy use increases by 84 percent in the Reference case, compared with a 14-percent increase in the developed OECD nations.Energy use in non-OECD Asia, led by China and India, shows the most robust growth among the non-OECD regions, rising by 118 percent over the projection period. However, strong growth is also projected for much of the rest of the non-OECD regions: 82 percent growth in the Middle East, 63 percent in Africa, and 63 percent in Central and South America. The slowest growth among the non-OECD regions is projected for non-OECD Europe and Eurasia (including Russia), where substantial gains in energy e~ciency are achieved through replacement of inef
| |
| -cient Soviet-era capital equipment.Worldwide, the use of energy from all sources increases over the projection. Given expectations that oil prices will remain relatively high, petroleum and other liquids are the world's slowest-growing energy sources. High energy prices and con
| |
| -cerns about the environmental consequences of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions lead a number of national governments to provide incentives in support of the development of alternative energy sources, making renewables the world's fastest-growing source of energy in the outlook.

North American natural gas trade, 2009-2035 (trillion cubic feet) 61U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Total use of liquids is similar in the Reference, High Oil Price, and Low Oil Price cases, ranging from 108 to 115 million barrels per day in 2035, respectively. This occurs because the alternative oil price cases reect a shifting of both supply and demand, with a result
| |
| -ing consumption and production level that is similar. Although total GDP growth in the OECD countries is assumed to be the same in all three cases, non-OECD GDP growth is lower in the Low Oil Price case and higher in the High Oil Price case, changing the shares of global liquids use by OECD and non-OECD countries among the three cases (Figure 53). Thus the cases reect a future where the impact of income growth as a demand driver of oil prices over
| |
| -whelms any countervailing impact of oil prices as a driver of growth.In the Reference case, OECD liquids use grows to 47.9 million barrels per day, while non-OECD liquids use grows to 62.9 mil
| |
| -lion barrels per day, in 2035. In the Low Oil Price case, OECD liquids use in 2035 is higher than in the Reference case, whereas non-OECD use is lower. In the High Oil Price case, OECD use falls to 45.1 million barrels per day in 2035. In contrast, non-OECD use, driven by higher GDP growth, increases to nearly 70million barrels per day in 2035. Non-OECD Asia and the Middle East account for most of the dierence from the Reference case, but liquids use in Central and South America in 2035 is also 1.1mil
| |
| -lion barrels per day higher than in the Reference case.Total liquids production is nearly identical in the Reference and High Oil Price cases, with the most signicant dierence com
| |
| -ing from increased unconventional production in the High Oil Price case as some advanced production technologies become economical. In the Low Oil Price case, lower demand and lower prices shutter more expensive conventional liquids projects and reduce unconventional liquids production.

The AEO2011 price paths are not intended to reect absolute bounds for future oil prices, but rather to allow analysis of the implications of world oil market conditions that dier from those assumed in the AEO2011 Reference case. The Reference case assumes a continuation of current trends in terms of economic access to resources outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the OPEC market share of world production, and global economic growth.The High Oil Price case depicts a world oil market in which total GDP growth in the non-OECD countries is faster than in the Reference case, driving up demand for liquids. On the sup
| |
| -ply side, conventional production is more restricted by politi
| |
| -cal decisions and limits on economic access to resources (e.g., use of quotas, scal regimes, and other approaches that restrict access) compared to the Reference case. Oil production in the major producing countries is reduced (e.g., OPEC share falls to 37 percent), and the consuming countries turn to high-cost unconventional liquids production to satisfy demand.In the Low Oil Price case, GDP growth in non-OPEC countries is slower than in the Reference case, resulting in lower demand for liquids. Regarding supply, producing countries develop stable scal policies and investment regimes directed at encouraging development of their resources. OPEC nations increase produc

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 62Growth in energy use is linked to population growth through increases in housing, commercial oorspace, transportation, and goods and services. These changes aect not only the level of energy use, but also the mix of fuels used. Energy consump
| |
| -tion per capita declined from 337 million Btu in 2007 to 308 million Btu in 2009, the lowest level since 1967. In the AEO2011 Reference case, energy use per capita increases slightly through 2013, as the economy recovers from the 2008-2009 economic downturn. After 2013, energy use per capita declines by 0.3 percent per year on average, to 293 million Btu in 2035, as higher e~ciency standards for vehicles and appliances take eect (Figure 55).Energy intensity (Btu of energy use per dollar of real GDP) falls as a result of structural changes and e~ciency improvements. Since 1990, a growing share of U.S. output has come from less energy-intensive services. In 1990, 68 percent of the total value of output came from services, 8 percent from energy-intensive manufacturing industries, and the balance from non-energy-intensive manufacturing and the nonmanufacturing industries (e.g., agriculture, mining, and construction). In 2009, services accounted for 76 percent of total output and energy-intensive industries only 6 percent. Services continue to play a growing role in the AEO2011 Reference case, accounting for 79 percent of total output in 2035, with energy-intensive manufactur
| |
| -ing accounting for less than 5 percent. In combination with improvements in energy e~ciency in all sectors, the shift away from energy-intensive industries pushes overall energy intensity down by an average of 1.9 percent per year from 2009 to 2035.World production of liquid fuels from unconventional resources in 2009 was 4.1 million barrels per day, or about 5 percent of total liquids production. In the AEO2011 projections, produc
| |
| -tion from unconventional sources grows to about 10.4, 13.5, and 19.4 million barrels per day in 2035 in the Low Oil Price, Reference, and High Oil Price cases, respectively, accounting for about 10, 12, and 17 percent of total world liquids produc
| |
| -tion (Figure 54).The factors most likely to aect production levels vary for the dierent types of unconventional liquid. Price is the most impor
| |
| -tant factor for bitumen production from Canadian oil sands, because the scal regime and extraction technologies remain relatively constant, regardless of world oil prices. Production of Venezuela's extra-heavy oil depends more on the prevail
| |
| -ing investment environment and the assumed government-imposed levels of economic access to resources in the dierent price cases. In the Low Oil Price case, with more foreign invest
| |
| -ment in extra-heavy oil, production in 2035 climbs to 3.6 million barrels per day. In the Reference and High Oil Price cases, with growing investment restrictions, extra-heavy oil production is limited to 1.5 million barrels per day and 1.7 million barrels per day, respectively, in 2035.Production levels for biofuels, coal-to-liquids (CTL), and gas-to-liquids (GTL) are driven largely by the price level and the extent of the need to compensate for restrictions on economic access to conventional liquid resources in other nations. In the Low Oil Price and High Oil Price cases, production from those three sources in 2035 totals 3.6 million barrels per day and 9.0 million barrels per day, respectively.

The renewable share of total energy use increases from 8 percent in 2009 to 13 percent in 2035, in response to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA2007) RFS, availability of Federal tax credits for renewable electricity generation and capacity early in the projection period, and State renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs.Consumption of all liquid fuels increases by 0.5 percent per year from 2009 to 2035, with most of the increase accounted for by biofuels. The petroleum share of liquid fuel use declines as consumption of alternative fuels increases and petroleum use is roughly at. Nearly all use of liquid biofuels occurs in the transportation sector. Biodiesel blended into diesel, motor fuel containing up to 85 percent ethanol (E85), and ethanol blended into motor gasoline account for 54 per
| |
| -cent of the growth in liquids fuel consumption from 2009 to 2035.Natural gas consumption grows by about 0.6 percent per year from 2009 to 2035, as the large amount of shale gas resources that can be produced at prices under $7 per thousand cubic feet keeps natural gas prices from 2009 through 2035 below the levels seen from 2005 to 2008.Coal consumption increases by 0.8 percent per year in the Refer

| -ence case from 2009 to 2035, or by 0.2 percent per year starting from the 2007 consumption level. Several coal-red power plants currently under construction, with combined capacity totaling 11.5 gigawatts, come on line by 2012. Nuclear power capacity expands by 9.5 gigawatts, but the nuclear share of primary energy falls from 8.8 percent in 2009 to 8.0 percent in 2035.

The largest increase, 7.2 quadrillion Btu from 2009 to 2035, is in the industrial sector, which was the end-use sector most severely aected by the economic downturn in 2009. When 2008 is used as the base year, the total increase in indus

Light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have accounted for more than 16 percent of total U.S. energy consumption since 2002, and their share declines slightly to 15.5 percent in 2020 as fuel economy standards increase to meet the statutory requirements of EISA2007. Growth in energy consumption by LDVs averages 0.3 percent per year from 2009 to 2035.

Improvements in e~ciency are oset to some degree, however, by a trend toward larger screen sizes.The EISA2007 Federal lighting standards will lead to a decline in energy use for lighting, as low-e~cacy incandescent lamps are replaced by compact uorescent, LED, and high-e~ciency incandescent lamps (Figure 59). In 2020, delivered energy use for lighting per household in the Reference case is 33 percent below the 2009 level.Residential sector energy demandResidential energy use per capita varies with end-use technology assumptionsElectricity use increases despite improved

Population shifts to warmer and drier climates also reduce energy demand for space heating.Three alternative cases show the potential role of energy-e~

The High Technology case assumes earlier availability, lower cost, higher e~ciency, and more energy-e~cient consumer purchasing decisions for some advanced equipment. The Best Available Technology case limits purchases of new and replace

As technologies improve and policies change, however, the limitations, which vary by State, are assumed to be reduced over time, allowing for faster growth in residential distributed generation (DG).The current Federal investment tax credit (ITC) for renewable energy installations is available through 2016. When the ITC expires, average growth in solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in the AEO2011 Reference case slows from 39 percent per year to less than 1 percent per year. A total of 8.9 gigawatts of pho
| |
| -tovoltaic capacity is installed by 2035. Likewise, installed wind capacity grows by 48 percent per year from 2009 through 2016, but without the ITC the growth slows to nearly zero percent per year from 2017 to 2035. In the AEO2011 Extended Policies case, which assumes extension of the ITC through 2035, PV capac
| |
| -ity grows by 17 percent per year from 2009 to 2035, and total installed capacity reaches 47.8 gigawatts in 2035.The number of homes heated by ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) increases by more than 19 percent per year from 2009 to 2016 in the Reference case, then slows to 3 percent per year after the ITC expires. In 2035, GSHPs account for 2.3 percent of all heating systems installed in single-family homes (Figure 61). In the Extended Policies case, however, sustained tax cred
| |
| -its lead to a continued 8.8-percent average annual increase in total installations, from 389,000 units in 2009 to 3,504,000 units in 2035, when GSHPs make up 3.4 percent of all residen

| -ciency gains.The largest gains in e~ciency are expected for lighting, based on EISA2007 standards that require the phased replacement of most incandescent lamps with technologies that by 2020 are roughly three times more e~cient than those widely marketed today (Figure 60). Refrigerators and water heaters also have been the subject of recent U.S. Department of Energy rulemak

| -ber of households increase by an average of 1 percent per year.The Best Available Technology case-which does not consider cost-demonstrates even greater gains in energy e~ciency, especially for electric equipment, which has greater potential for improvement. In that case, delivered energy consumption per household declines by 1.7 percent per year from 2009 to 2035, and the total in 2035 is 1.8 quadrillion Btu lower than the 2009 level.A variety of other products-mostly consumer electronics-are not subject to existing standards, although voluntary programs, such as ENERGY STAR, still lead to some e~ciency gains in the AEO2011 Reference case.

"Other" electric end uses, some of which are not subject to Federal standards, account for much of the growth in commercial electricity consumption.

The Best Available Technology case limits future equipment choices to the most e~cient model for each technology available in the year of replacement and assumes more improvement in the e~ciency of building shells for new and existing buildings than in the High Technology case.Commercial energy consumption per capita in 2035 is 3.9 per

Current limits on the maximum capacity that can be interconnected are expected to decrease with improvements in technology and the spread of RPS policies and goals over time.In addition to declining limits on DG interconnection, ITCs for various renewable and nonrenewable DG technologies continue through 2016. With the exception of a permanent 10-percent credit following the expiration of the current 30-percent credit for solar PVs, the AEO2011 Reference case assumes no ITCs for DG after 2016. The Extended Policies case, on the other hand, assumes that current tax credits continue through 2035.Total commercial DG capacity in the Reference case increases from 1.9 gigawatts in 2009 to more than 6.8 gigawatts in 2035. In the Extended Policies case, capacity increases to 9.8 giga
| |
| -watts in 2035. Microturbines show the fastest capacity growth among the DG technologies in the Reference case, averaging 16percent per year. Commercial sector wind capacity grows by 11 percent per year in the Extended Policies case, more than double the annual growth in the Reference case, as a result of continued tax credits. In 2035, renewable energy accounts for 50 percent of all commercial DG capacity in the Extended Policies case, as compared with less than 35 percent in the Reference case (Figure 65).Delivered energy consumption for core space heating, ventila

These core end uses, which frequently have been targets of energy e~ciency standards, accounted for just over 60 percent of commercial delivered energy demand in 2009 and are projected to fall to 55 percent of delivered energy in 2035. Energy consumption for the remain

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 68Industrial sector energy demandHeat and power energy consumption increases in manufacturing industries Industrial fuel mix changes as demand increases from low levels in 2009Despite a 54-percent increase in industrial shipments, industrial energy consumption increases by only 19 percent from 2009 to 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case. Energy consumption growth is moderated by a shift in the mix of output, as growth in energy-intensive manufacturing output (aluminum, steel, bulk chemicals, paper, and rening) slows and growth in high-value (but less energy-intensive) industries, such as computers and transportation equipment, accelerates.There is also a relative shift in industrial energy use to manufac
| |
| -turing from nonmanufacturing industries. Manufacturing heat and power as a percentage of total industrial delivered energy consumption grows from 65 percent in 2009 to 71 percent in 2035 (Figure 66). Nonmanufacturing (agriculture, mining, and construction) heat and power energy consumption as a per
| |
| -centage of total energy drops by 2 percent over the projection. The remaining fuel consumption, consisting of nonfuel uses of energy (primarily as feedstocks in chemical manufacturing and asphalt for construction), also declines by about 4 percent.The rise in manufacturing heat and power consumption in the AEO2011 Reference case is due primarily to an increase of 1.7 quadrillion Btu in total energy use for production of liquid fuels-both petroleum and nonpetroleum liquids-in the ren
| |
| -ing industry. From 2009 to 2035, CTL, coal- and biomass-to-liquids (CBTL), and biofuels production accounts for the bulk of the increase, which corresponds to a 48-percent increase in energy consumption for liquid fuels production, although total renery shipments increase by only 16 percent.

Nearly one-half of industrial liquid fuel consumption is for feedstocks in the production of chemicals, and another 20 per

Natural gas use in the industrial sector grows by 27 percent from 2009 to 2035, reecting the recovery in industrial output and relatively low natural gas prices, which spur a large increase in natural gas consumption for CHP generation that osets a decline in natural gas use for feedstock.After 2025, increased use of coal for CTL and CBTL produc

| -tion osets a decline in traditional industrial uses of coal (including steam generation and coke production) as a result of e~ciency improvements that reduce the need for process steam.

From 2009 to 2035, industrial energy consumption grows by 7 percent in the Low Economic Growth case, 19 percent in the Reference case, and 31 percent in the High Economic Growth case (Figure 69).The most signicant changes in energy use are in the ren
| |
| -ing, bulk chemicals, and iron and steel industries. The rening industry (both petroleum and nonpetroleum liquids reneries) shows the strongest growth in the Reference, Low Economic Growth, and High Economic Growth cases. Although total renery output grows by less than 1 percent per year, the indus
| |
| -try's energy use increases modestly in all cases, with contin
| |
| -ued eorts to remove sulfur from oil inputs, energy-intensive coal liquefaction beginning in 2025, and strong growth in the production of other nonpetroleum liquids. In the Low Economic Growth case, energy use in the bulk chemical industry declines from 2009 to 2035 as its output declines in the face of ris
| |
| -ing costs for domestic inputs in a globally competitive market. Similarly, energy consumption in the iron and steel industry declines in the Low Economic Growth case as penetration of energy-saving production technologies completely osets out
| |
| -put growth from 2009 to 2035.Overall energy intensity in the industrial sector declines by 21percent in the Low Economic Growth case, 23 percent in the Reference case, and 25 percent in the High Economic Growth case. The projections are consistent with the expectation that energy intensity will decline as the economic recovery facili

| |
| -turn and continues to grow over the long term in the AEO2011 Reference case. The recovery and long-term growth are uneven, however, with the strongest growth in iron and steel and non-energy-intensive manufacturing industries. The remaining industries also recover from the recession, but their production begins to decline after 2025. Over the entire projection, total industrial shipments increase by 54 percent in the Reference case, 35 percent in the Low Economic Growth case, and 75 per
| |
| -cent in the High Economic Growth case.A few energy-intensive manufacturing industries account for the majority of total industrial energy consumption. Ranked by their total energy use, the top ve energy-consuming industries-bulk chemicals, rening, paper, steel, and food-accounted for 61 percent of industrial energy consumption and 25 percent of total value of shipments in 2009. With the exception of bulk chemicals, most industries experience overall growth from 2009 to 2035 (Figure 68). Chemical industry output recovers to pre-recession levels by 2015 but then declines by 16 percent from 2015 to 2035.A rebound in industrial output is being seen already in selected industries, driven by increasing demand based on relative weak

| |
| -drillion Btu to 31.8 quadrillion Btu), slower than the 1.2 percent average rate from 1975 to 2009. The slower growth is a result of changing demographics, increased LDV fuel economy, and saturation of personal travel demand.Energy demand for LDVs increases by 10 percent, or 1.7 quadril
| |
| -lion Btu (1.3 million barrels per day), from 2009 to 2035 (Figure 71). Moderate growth in fuel prices compared with recent his
| |
| -tory and rising real disposable income combine to increase annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT), although personal travel demand increases at a slower rate than historically. Growth in delivered energy consumption by LDVs is tempered by more stringent standards for vehicle GHG emissions through model year (MY) 2016 and fuel economy through MY 2020. Energy demand for heavy-duty vehicles (including primarily freight trucks but also buses) increases by 48 percent, or 2.2 quadril

Growth in air travel is driven by increases in income and moderate growth in fuel costs, tempered by gains in aircraft fuel e~ciency, while growth in air freight movement (caused by export growth) also increases fuel use by aircraft.

The largest share of feedstock energy consumption occurs in the chemical industry, primarily for the production of ethylene and propylene, which are used to make plastics, fertilizers, and a variety of inorganic chemicals.Industrial energy consumption trends in the AEO2011 Reference case reect growth in consumption of all feedstocks after the 2008-2009 economic downturn, followed by a long-term decline as production of basic chemicals falls. Increased use of ethane and propane as alternatives to naphtha and gas oil reects a recent switch to lighter feedstocks with the rise in crude oil prices relative to natural gas prices. With increasing production of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs), lighter feedstocks become readily available on a continuing basis (Figure 70).Consumption of all feedstocks is higher in 2035 than in 2009, except for natural gas use, which drops by 14 percent from 2009 to 2035. The use of natural gas as a feedstock falls after 2014, when domestic production of hydrogen, methanol, and ammo

| |
| -ing the workforce). Since 2007, VMT per licensed driver has declined slightly because of the sudden spike in the cost of driving per mile followed by the economic downturn. However, VMT per licensed driver begins to grow again in the Reference case, but at a more moderate average annual rate of 0.6 per
| |
| -cent, reaching over 15,280 miles in 2035 (Figure 73).The projected growth in VMT per licensed driver results from a return to rising real disposable personal income, which increases by 90 percent between 2009 and 2035. While motor gasoline prices rise by 60 percent over the period, faster income growth ensures that the impact on travel demand is blunted by a reduc
| |
| -tion in the percentage of income spent on fuel. In addition, the eect of rising fuel costs is moderated by a 30-percent improve
| |
| -ment in new vehicle fuel economy following the implementation of more stringent GHG and CAFE standards for LDVs.Several demographic forces also play a role in moderating the growth in VMT per licensed driver despite the rise in real dis
| |
| -posable income. Although LDV sales increase through 2035, the number of vehicles per licensed driver remains relatively constant (at just over 1). In addition, unemployment remains above pre-recession levels in the Reference case until late in the projection period, further tempering the increase in personal travel demand.After the introduction of corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards in 1978, the fuel economy for all LDVs increased from 19.9 miles per gallon (mpg) in 1978 to 26.2 in 1987. Despite con
| |
| -tinued technological improvement, fuel economy fell to between 24 and 26mpg over the next two decades, with sales of light trucks increasing from about 20 percent of new LDV sales in 1980 to 55percent in 2004 [
| |
| 88]. From 2004 to 2008, fuel prices increased, sales of light trucks slowed, and tighter fuel economy standards for light-duty trucks were introduced. As a result, average fuel economy for LDVs rose to 28.0 mpg in 2008.The National Highway Tra~c Safety Administration (NHTSA) introduced new attribute-based CAFE standards for MY 2011 LDVs in 2009, and in 2010 NHTSA and the U.S. Environmen
| |
| -tal Protection Agency (EPA) jointly announced CAFE and GHG emissions standards for MY 2012 to MY 2016. EISA2007 also requires that LDVs reach an average fuel economy of 35 mpg by MY 2020 [89]. In the Reference case, the average fuel economy of new LDVs (including credits for alternative-fuel vehicles and banked credits) rises to 29.8 mpg in 2011, 33.3 mpg in 2016, and 35.8 mpg in 2020 (Figure 72). After 2020, CAFE standards for LDVs remain constant in the Reference case, and LDV fuel economy increases only moderately, to 37.8 mpg in 2035.In the Reference case, cars represent 65 percent of LDV sales in 2035, compared with 69 percent in the High Oil Price case and 55 percent in the Low Oil Price case. The economics of fuel-saving technologies improve in the High Technology and High Oil Price cases, but the eects on average fuel economy relative to the Reference case are tempered by the fact that CAFE stan

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 72Unconventional vehicles (those that use diesel, alternative fuels, and/or hybrid electric systems) play a signicant role in meeting more stringent fuel economy standards and oering fuel savings in the face of relatively higher fuel prices, growing from 15 percent of new vehicle sales in 2009 to 42 percent by 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case.Flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs), which can use blends of ethanol up to 85 percent, represent the largest share of unconventional LDV sales in 2035, at 19 percent of total new vehicle sales and 47 per
| |
| -cent of unconventional vehicle sales (Figure 75). Manufacturers selling FFVs currently receive incentives in the form of fuel econ
| |
| -omy credits earned for CAFE compliance through MY 2016. FFVs also play a critical role in meeting the RFS for biofuels.Sales of electric and hybrid vehicles that use stored electric energy grow considerably in the Reference case. Micro hybrids, which use start/stop technology to manage engine operation while at idle, account for 8 percent of all conventional gasoline vehicle sales by 2035, the largest share for vehicles that use electric storage. Gasoline-electric and diesel-electric hybrid vehicles account for 5 percent of total LDV sales and 13percent of unconventional vehicle sales in 2035, and plug-in and all-electric hybrid vehicles account for 3percent of LDV sales and 8percent of unconventional vehicle sales. Sales of diesel vehi

| -cles also increase, to 5 percent of total LDV sales and 13 percent of unconventional vehicle sales in 2035. Light duty natural gas vehicles account for less than 0.1percent of new vehicle sales throughout the projection due to their high incremental cost and limited fuel infrastructure.Transportation sector energy demandNew technologies promise better

| | |
| Unconventional vehicle technologies exceed 40 percent of new sales in 2035The market adoption of advanced technologies in conventional vehicles facilitates the improvement in fuel economy that is necessary to meet more stringent CAFE standards through MY 2020 and reduce fuel costs thereafter. In the AEO2011 Reference case, the CAFE compliance of new LDVs rises from 29.1 mpg in 2009 to 35.8 mpg in 2020 and 37.8 mpg in 2035, due in part to greater penetration of unconventionally fueled vehicles and in part to the addition of individual technologies in conventional vehicles (Figure 74).In 2035, advanced drag reduction, which provides fuel econ
| |
| -omy improvements by reducing vehicle air resistance at higher speeds, is implemented in 98 percent of new LDVs. In addition, with the adoption of light-weight materials through material substitution, the average weights of new cars and light trucks decline by 4.9 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively, from 2009 to 2035, providing additional improvements in fuel economy.Advanced transmission technologies also improve fuel economy by improving the e~ciency of vehicle drive trains. Aggressive shift logic is used in 73 percent of new LDVs in 2035; and other advanced technologies, such as continuously variable, auto

Generation from coal increases by 25per

| -cent from 2009 to 2035, but only 10 percent from pre-recession 2007 levels, largely as a result of increased use of existing capacity. Its share of the total generation mix, however, falls from 45 percent to 43 percent as a result of more rapid increases in generation from nat

| -ural gas and renewables. Growth in gas-red generation is supported by low natural gas prices and stable capital costs for new plants. Low natural gas prices make the dispatch of existing plants and construc
| |
| -tion of new natural-gas-red plants more competitive.Generation from U.S. nuclear power plants increases by 9 percent from 2009 to 2035, but its share of total generation falls from 20percent in 2009 to 17 percent in 2035. The Reference case assumes that existing nuclear power plants will continue operat

Most of the growth in renewable electricity generation in the power sector consists of generation from wind and biomass facilities. The growth in wind generation is primarily driven by State RPS and Federal tax credits. Generation from biomass comes from both dedicated biomass plants and co-ring in coal plants. Its growth is driven by State RPS, the availability of low-cost feedstocks, and the RFS, which results in signicant production of electricity at plants producing biofuels.

After 9.8-percent annual growth in the 1950s, demand (including retail sales and direct use) increased 2.4 percent per year in the 1990s. From 2000 to 2009 (including the 2008-2009 economic downturn) demand grew by 0.5 percent per year. In the Reference case, electricity demand growth rebounds but remains relatively slow, as growing demand for electricity services is o

With growing electricity demand and the retirement of 39 gigawatts of existing capacity, 223 gigawatts of new generating capacity (including end-use combined heat and power) will be needed between 2010 and 2035 (Figure 78).Natural-gas-red plants account for 60 percent of capacity additions between 2010 and 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case, compared with 25 percent for renewables, 11 percent for coal-red plants, and 3 percent for nuclear. Escalating construc

| -nologies, including nuclear, coal, and renewables. However, Federal tax incentives, State energy programs, and rising prices for fossil fuels increase the competitiveness of renewable and nuclear capacity. In contrast, uncertainty about future limits on GHG emissions and other possible environmental regulations reduces the competitiveness of coal-red plants (reected in the AEO2011 Reference case by adding 3 percentage points to the cost of capital for new coal-red capacity).Capacity additions also are aected by demand growth and by fuel prices, which are uncertain. Total capacity additions from 2010 to 2035 range from 172 gigawatts in the Low Economic Growth case to 290 gigawatts in the High Economic Growth case. With higher natu
| |
| -ral gas prices, such as in the AEO2011 Low Shale Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) case, fewer natural-gas-red plants are added than in the Reference case. In the High Shale EUR case, where delivered natural gas prices are 21 percent lower than in the Reference case by 2035, total gas-red capacity additions increase to 154 giga

Electricity generation capacity additions by fuel type, 2010-2035 (gigawatts)Typically, investments in electricity generation capacity have gone through "boom and bust" cycles, with periods of slower growth followed by strong growth, in response to changing expectations for future electricity demand and fuel prices, as well as changes in the industry, such as restructuring (Figure 79). A construction boom in the early 2000s saw capacity addi

| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, capacity additions from 2010 to 2035 total 223 gigawatts, including new plants built not only in the power sector but also by end-use generators. Annual addi
| |
| -tions in 2010, 2011, and 2012 average 17 gigawatts per year, with at least 40 percent of that capacity already under construction. Of those early builds, about 46 percent are renewable capacity built to take advantage of Federal tax incentives and to meet State renewable standards.Annual builds drop signicantly after 2012 and remain below 7 gigawatts per year until 2025. During that period, exist
| |
| -ing reserves are adequate to meet growth in demand in most regions, given the earlier construction boom and relatively low demand growth following the economic recession. Between 2025 and 2035, average annual builds increase to 11 gigawatts per year, as excess reserves are depleted and total capacity growth is more consistent with demand growth. About 80 per
| |

Coal, nuclear, and renewable plants are capital-intensive (Figure 81), while operating (fuel) expenditures make up most of the costs for gas-red capacity [
| |
| 91]. Capital costs depend on such factors as equipment costs, interest rates, and cost-recovery periods. Fuel costs vary with operating e~ciency, fuel price, resource availability, and transportation costs.In addition to levelized cost considerations [
| |
| 92], some technol
| |
| -ogies and fuels receive subsidies, such as production tax cred
| |
| -its (PTCs) and ITCs. Also, new plants must satisy local and Federal emissions standards and must be compatible with the utility's load prole.Regulatory uncertainty also aects capacity planning. New coal plants may require carbon control and sequestration equip
| |
| -ment, resulting in higher material, labor, and operating costs. Alternatively, coal plants without carbon controls could incur higher costs for siting and permitting. Because nuclear and renewable power plants (including wind plants) do not emit greenhouse gases, their costs are not directly aected by regu

| |
| -ers gain experience. The decline continues at a progressively slower rate as more units are built. Operating e~ciencies also are assumed to improve over time, resulting in reduced variable costs unless increases in fuel costs exceed the savings from e~ciency gains.

Levelized electricity costs for new power plants, 2020 and 2035 (2009 cents per kilowatthour)Over the long term, growth in electricity generating capacity and growth in end-use demand for electricity track one another. However, unexpected shifts in demand or dramatic changes aecting capacity investment decisions can cause imbalances for a period of time. Because long-term planning is required for large-scale investments in new capacity, such periods of imbal
| |
| -ance can take years to work out.Figure 80 shows indexes summarizing relative changes in total generating capacity and demand. During the 1950s and 1960s, the capacity and demand indexes tracked very closely. The energy crises of the 1970s and 1980s, together with other fac
| |
| -tors, slowed electricity demand growth, and capacity growth out
| |
| -paced demand for more than 10 years afterward, as planned units continued to come on line. Demand and capacity did not align again until the mid-1990s. Then, in the late 1990s, uncertainty about deregulation of the electricity industry caused a downturn in capacity expansion, and another period of imbalance followed, with growth in demand exceeding capacity growth.In 2000, a boom in construction of new natural-gas-red plants began, quickly bringing capacity back into balance with demand and, in fact, creating excess capacity. More recently, the eco
| |
| -nomic recession in 2008 and 2009 caused a signicant drop in electricity demand. As a result, the lower demand projected for the near term in the AEO2011 Reference case again results in excess generating capacity. Capacity that is currently under construction is completed in the Reference case, but only a limited amount of additional capacity is built through 2025. In 2025, capacity growth and demand growth are in balance again, and they grow at similar rates through 2035.

| |
| -ity generation from 2009 to 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case (Figure 83). The increase is supported by RFS, State-level renewable electricity standards, and Federal tax credits. In the Reference case, generation from wind power nearly doubles its share of total generation, while generation from geothermal resources triples as a result of technology advances that make previously marginal sites attractive for development, as well as increasing the resources available at existing geothermal sites.Renewable electricity generation in the end-use sectors also continues to grow. As a result of the Federal RFS that requires increased use of biofuels, there is an attractive opportunity to use waste heat from biofuel production to generate electricity. Consequently, generation from biomass more than triples from 2009 to 2035, when it accounts for 39 percent of total non
| |
| -hydroelectric renewable electricity generation. Generation from solar resources increases from 2 percent of nonhydroelectric renewable generation in 2009 to more than 5 percent in 2035, as capital costs, especially for PV technologies in the end-use sectors, decrease over time. End-use solar generation grows from 2.3 billion kilowatthours in 2009 to 16.8 billion kilowatt
| |
| -hours in 2035, and additional growth in solar generation comes from utility-scale PV plants, which begin to become competitive in the later years of the projection.
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, nuclear power capacity increases from 101.0 gigawatts in 2009 to 110.5 gigawatts in 2035 (Figure 82), including 3.8 gigawatts of expansion at existing plants and 6.3 gigawatts of new capacity. The new capacity includes com
| |
| -pletion of a second unit at the Watts Bar site, where construc
| |
| -tion on a partially completed plant has resumed. Increases in the estimated costs for new nuclear plants make new investments in nuclear power uncertain. Four new nuclear power plants are completed in the Reference case, all of which are brought on line by 2020 to take advantage of Federal nancial incentives. High construction costs for nuclear plants, especially relative to natu
| |
| -ral-gas-red plants, make other options for new nuclear capac
| |
| -ity uneconomical even in the alternative electricity demand and fuel price cases. In the GHG Price Economywide case, which attaches a price to reductions in carbon dioxide, total nuclear capacity additions from 2010 to 2035 increase to 29 gigawatts as a consequence of the higher costs for operating fossil-fueled capacity.One nuclear unit, Oyster Creek, is expected to be retired at the end of 2019, as announced by Exelon in December 2010. All other existing nuclear units continue to operate through 2035 in the Reference case, which assumes that they will apply for, and receive, operating license renewals, including in some cases a second 20-year extension after they reach 60 years of opera
| |
| -tion. As discussed in last year's "Issues in focus" section, it will likely be a decade or more before signicant insight can be gained regarding what will happen beyond 60 years. With costs for natural-gas-red generation rising and future regulation of GHG emissions uncertain, the economics of keeping existing nuclear power plants in operation are favorable.

| -all increase in wind capacity (18.2 gigawatts) occurs between 2009 and 2012. From 2012 through 2035, only an additional 6.9 gigawatts of wind capacity is added.Biomass generating capacity grows from 7 gigawatts in 2009 (15 percent of total nonhydropower renewable capacity) to 20.2 gigawatts in 2035 (20 percent). All the growth in biomass capacity occurs in the end-use sectors, mainly at bioreneries, where electricity generation capacity increases as a result of mandates in the Federal RFS that require increased use of biofu

Geothermal capacity also grows as a result of increased site availability, more favorable resource estimates, and lower costs for construction of geothermal facilities.

The most prominent change was California's RPS modication, which now requires renewable energy (including hydroelectric plants smaller than 30 megawatts capacity) to make up 33 percent of electricity generation, strengthening the prior 20-percent requirement that was supported by a limited fund.The WECC California region (CAMX), whose area approxi

Those two regions are not known for a strong solar resource base, and the installations are in response to the ITC in the early years of the projection period and high electricity prices during the later years.

| |
| -ural gas exploration and production technologies. Technology improvement can reduce drilling and operating costs, expand the economically recoverable resource base, and aect the tim
| |
| -ing of production increases. It is particularly important to the production of natural gas from shale formations. The Reference case assumes that annual technology improvements follow his
| |
| -torical trends. In the Rapid Oil and Gas Technology case, explo

| -ration and development costs decline at a faster rate, acceler
| |
| -ating growth in production, which puts downward pressure on prices. In the Slow Oil and Gas Technology case, slower respec
| |
| -tive cost declines lead to higher natural gas prices and lower levels of consumption than in the Reference case (Figure 88).The same type of impact can be seen from changes in economic growth and demand technologies. In the High Economic Growth and Integrated Low Technology cases, higher levels of demand result in increased production, which puts upward pressure on natural gas prices. In the Low Economic Growth and Integrated High Technology cases, the opposite impact is seen. Lower lev
| |

In the other cases, natural gas prices remain too low to make the Alaska pipeline economical before 2035.

| Natural gas prices Price disparity between crude oil and natural gas shifts drilling to liquids-rich shales Natural gas prices vary with economic growth and technology progressUnlike crude oil prices, natural gas prices do not return to the higher levels recorded before the 2007-2009 recession (Figure 86). Although some supply factors continue to relate the two markets loosely, the two do not track directly (Figure 87).

As a result, the average wellhead price for natural gas increases by an average of 2.1 percent per year, to $6.26 per million Btu in 2035 (2009 dollars). Henry Hub prices increase by 2.3 percent per year, to $7.07 per million Btu in 2035. Nonetheless, the Henry Hub price and average wellhead prices do not pass $5.00 per million Btu until 2020 and 2024, respectively.

Shale gas is the largest contributor to production growth, while production from tight sands, coalbed methane deposits, and oshore waters remains stable. Shale gas makes up 47 per
| |
| -cent of total U.S. production in 2035, nearly triple its 16-per
| |
| -cent share in 2009. The estimate for technically recoverable unproved shale gas resources in the AEO2011 Reference case is 827 trillion cubic feet. Although more information has become available as a result of increased drilling activity in developing shale gas plays, estimates of technically recoverable resources and well productivity remain highly uncertain. The "Issues in focus" section explores several sensitivity cases that alter the outlook for shale gas resources.Oshore natural gas production in the Reference case declines initially, reecting delays in near-term projects in the Gulf of Mexico. According to the latest leasing plan from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), lease sales in the Mid- and South Atlantic outer continental shelf (OCS) will not occur before 2017. Because the Pacic OCS is considered to have low economic potential, AEO2011 assumes that leasing in the Pacic will occur only in the southern California oshore and only after 2023.Production from coalbeds and tight sands does not contrib

| |
| -sumption. Changes in the rate of technology improvement aect natural gas drilling and production costs, which in turn can aect productive capacity of natural gas wells and change the number of successful wells, resulting in lower or higher production.From 2009 to 2035, average annual natural gas consumption is 1.1trillion cubic feet higher in the High Economic Growth case than in the Reference case. Domestic production accounts for 90 per
| |
| -cent of this increase, with imports from Canada supplying most of the rest. On average in the High Economic Growth case, 64 percent of the increase in domestic production from 2009 to 2035 comes from shale gas, 15 percent from tight sands, and the remainder from oshore wells, coalbeds, and an Alaska pipeline completed in 2034.Average annual natural gas production from 2009 to 2035 is 0.7trillion cubic feet higher and 0.9 trillion cubic feet lower in the Rapid and Slow Technology cases, respectively, than in the Reference case (Figure 90). Shale gas production accounts for most of the dierence, increasing by 0.8 trillion cubic feet per year on average from Reference case levels in the High Technology case and decreasing by 0.9 trillion cubic feet per year on average in the Slow Technology case. Higher prices in the Slow Technology case enable the Alaska pipeline to be completed in 2032, displac
| |
| -ing more expensive production from tight sands and coalbed methane sources in the Rocky Mountain region, where shale gas is less abundant. Lower production levels in the Slow Technology case result from higher costs, lower resource availability, and, ulti

Signicant increases in shale gas production occur in the Northeast and Gulf Coast regions. (See Figure F4 in Appendix F for a map of the regions.) Resource estimates for the Marcellus, Haynesville, and Eagle Ford plays have continued to increase as new information becomes available from explora
| |
| -tion and development in those areas.Dry gas production in the Northeast region increases in the Reference case nearly ve-fold from 2009 to 2035 (Figure 91). The majority of the increase comes from the Marcellus shale gas play, which has an estimated technically recoverable resource base of about 400 trillion cubic feet. Because the growth in shale gas production displaces much of the natural gas that currently is supplied to the Northeast from the Gulf Coast and Canada, Gulf Coast gas tends to saturate the Henry Hub market and put downward pressure on natural gas prices.Even with signicant growth in shale gas production, total pro
| |
| -duction in the Gulf Coast and Midcontinent regions falls, reect
| |
| -ing signicant declines in sources other than shale formations. In particular, rigs previously used for drilling in tight sands are being moved to shale deposits. In the Southwest, as shale pro

The reduction consists primarily of lower imports from Canada and higher net exports to Mexico (Figure 92), as a result of demand growth in both countries that outpace growth in their production.Supplies of natural gas from Canada's conventional sources decline from 2009 to 2035, but those declines are oset by increased production from coalbeds, tight formations, and shale gas deposits, allowing for a relatively constant level of exports to the United States through 2018 before they begin to decline. In addition, net imports to the United States from Canada are oset somewhat by an increase in exports from the United States to eastern Canada.Mexico's natural gas consumption shows robust growth through 2035, and expected increases in its domestic production are not su~cient to meet demand growth. As a result, Mexico will need to import natural gas to ll the gap. Some of the increased sup

Motor gasoline consumption increases by approximately 0.3 million barrels per day from 2009 to 2035 in the Reference case, while diesel fuel and E85 consumption increase by 1.3 and 0.8 million barrels per day, respectively, over the period.Biodiesel and a number of next-generation biofuels account for about 0.6 million barrels per day of the increase in liquid fuels consumption for transportation in 2035. The growth in bio

From 2009 to 2035, U.S. crude oil production increases by about 600,000 barrels per day.As a result of the EISA2007 RFS, bio fuels production increases by almost 1.5 million barrel per day, with ethanol accounting for the largest share of the increase. Ethanol production increases by more than 800,000 barrels per day from 2009 to 2035, dis

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 82Rising world oil prices, growing shale oil resources (i.e., liquid oil embedded in non-porous shale rock), and increased production using EOR techniques contribute to increased domestic crude oil production from 2009 to 2035 in the AEO2011 Reference case (Figure 95). The Bakken shale oil formation contributes to growth in crude oil production in the Rocky Mountain Region, and growth in the Gulf Coast region is spurred by the resources in the Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk formations. Some of the decline in oil production in the Southwest region is oset by production coming from the Avalon shale formation.Production with CO 2-EOR increases beginning in 2015 (largely using natural CO 2 sources), continues to grow through 2025 as anthropogenic CO 2 sources increase, and eventually dominates CO 2 production, supporting just over 20percent of total crude oil production in 2035.Lower 48 oshore production increases by 13 percent from 2009 to 2035 in the Reference case. According to the recent BOEM leasing plan, lease sales in the Mid- and South-Atlantic OCS will not occur before 2017. In the Pacic OCS, leasing is assumed to occur only o the coast of Southern California and not until after 2023 in the Reference case, because the Pacic OCS is considered to have low potential [
| |

From 2015 to 2035, when compared with the Reference case, crude oil production using CO 2 EOR is 17 percent higher on average in the High Oil Price case. In comparison, in the Rapid Technology case, CO 2 EOR technology shows little change, in part because of the limited availability of CO 2 supplies.Oil production from oshore areas, Alaska, and oil shale depos

In the AEO2011 Reference and High Oil Price cases, imports of liquid fuels continue to decline from 2009 to 2035, although they provide a major part of total U.S. liquids supply over the period. Tighter fuel e~ciency standards and higher prices for liquid fuels moderate the growth in liquids demand, even as the combination of higher prices and renewable fuel mandates leads to increased domestic production of both oil and biofuels. Consequently, while consumption of liquid fuels increases steadily in the Reference case from 2009 to 2035, the growth in demand is met by domestic production.The net import share of U.S. liquid fuels consumption fell from 60 percent in 2005 to 52 percent in 2009. The net import share continues to decline in the Reference case, to 42 percent in 2035 (Figure 97). In the High Oil Price case, the net import share falls to an even lower 24 percent in 2035. Increased penetration of biofuels in the liquids market reduces the need for imports of crude oil and petroleum products in the High Oil Price case. In the Low Oil Price case, the net import share remains at in the near term, then rises to 56 percent in 2035 as demand increases and imports become cheaper than crude oil produced domestically.

In 2022, cellulosic ethanol contributes 3.5 billion gallons of credits towards the RFS mandate, and biodiesel and imported ethanol contribute 2.0 and 2.8 billion gallons of credits, respectively.The Reference case assumes that the EPA will continue to set RFS targets after 2022, leading to more capacity builds than would have occurred otherwise. The mandate for 36 billion gallons of biofuel is met by 2030, and total biofuel production increases to 37.2 billion ethanol-equivalent gallons in 2035.

Recent EPA actions have increased the blending limit to 15 percent (E15) for vehicles built in 2001 and after. Although the higher blending limit allows ethanol consumption to increase in the near term, a number of issues may constrain its immediate impact.One of the primary issues expected to slow the widespread adoption of E15 is liability for potential misfueling and infra

| -cles that may result from misfueling, as well as malfunctions of storage equipment or infrastructure that may be caused by the higher ethanol blend. Consumer acceptance will also play a part; warning labels could deter customers from risking any potential damage from the use of E15.Given the issues above, ethanol blending in gasoline increases only gradually in the AEO2011 Reference case (Figure 100), from 13.1 billion gallons in 2010 (about 9 percent of the gasoline pool) to 17.8 billion gallons in 2020 (about 12 percent of the gaso

In the AEO2011 Reference case, production does not return to its 2008 level until after 2025. Between 2008 and 2014 a potential recovery in coal production is kept in check by continued low natural gas prices and increased generation from renewables and nuclear capacity. After 2014, coal production grows at an average annual rate of 1.1 percent through 2035, with increases in coal use for electricity generation and for the production of synthetic liquids.Western coal production increases through 2035 (Figure 101) but at a much slower rate than in the past, as demand grows slowly. Low-cost supplies of coal from the West satisfy much of the additional fuel needs at coal-red power plants east of the Mississippi River and supply most of the coal needed at new CTL and CBTL plants.Coal production in the Interior region, which has trended slightly downward since the early 1990s, rebounds somewhat in the Reference case, increasing from 2.9 quadrillion Btu in 2009 to 3.5 quadrillion Btu in 2035. Most of the additional production from this region originates from mines tapping into the substan
| |
| -tial reserves of mid- and high-sulfur bituminous coal in Illinois, Indiana, and western Kentucky. Appalachian coal production declines substantially from current levels, as coal produced from the extensively mined, higher cost reserves of Central Appalachia is supplanted by lower cost coal from other supply regions. Increasing production in the northern part of the basin, however, does help to moderate the overall production decline in Appalachia.

| |

In contrast, assumptions about the costs of producing and transporting coal primarily aect the choice of technologies for electricity generation, with coal capturing a larger share of the U.S. electricity market in the Low Coal Cost case and a smaller share in the High Coal Cost case. In the High Oil Price case, higher oil prices stimulate the demand for coal-based synthetic liquids, leading to a substan
| |
| -tial expansion of coal use at CTL and CBTL plants. Production of coal-based synthetic liquids totals 1.6 million barrels per day in 2035 in the High Oil Price case, nearly three times the amount in the Reference case.Coal production in the Reference case increases by 21 per
| |

In the earlier years of the projection, from 2009 to 2020, variations in coal production across the cases are smaller, ranging from a decline of 4 percent to an increase of 8 per

Two Coal Cost cases developed for AEO2011 examine the impacts on U.S. coal markets of alternative assumptions about mining productiv
| |
| -ity, labor costs, mine equipment costs, and coal transportation rates (Figure 104). Although alternative assumptions about economic growth and world oil prices lead to some variations in the price paths for coal, the dierences from the Reference case are relatively small in those cases.In the High Coal Cost case, the average delivered coal price is $4.08 per million Btu (2009 dollars) in 2035-65 percent higher than in the Reference case, where the average price is $2.47 per million Btu in 2035. Because the higher coal prices result in switching from coal to natural gas and renewables in the electricity sector, U.S. coal consumption in 2035 is 16 per
| |
| -cent (3.8 quadrillion Btu) lower in the High Coal Cost case than in the Reference case. In the Low Coal Cost case, delivered coal prices in 2035 average $1.53 per million Btu-38 percent lower than in the Reference case-and total coal consumption is 4per
| |
| -cent (0.9 quadrillion Btu) higher than in the Reference case.Because the Economic Growth and Oil Price cases use the Reference case assumptions for coal mining and rail transpor
| |
| -tation costs, they show smaller variations in average delivered coal prices than do the two coal cost cases. Dierences in coal price projections in the Economic Growth and Oil Price cases result mainly from higher and lower levels of demand for coal. In the Oil Price cases, higher and lower fuel costs for both coal producers and railroads also contribute to the slight variations in coal prices.In the Reference case, the average real minemouth price for U.S. coal remains nearly unchanged, declining from $1.67 per million Btu in 2009 to $1.65 in 2020, and then rising to $1.73 in 2035-an increase of 0.2 percent per year over the entire projection period. In contrast, there were sizable increases in coal prices from 2000 to 2009, averaging 6.0 percent per year, and declines from 1990 to 2000 that averaged 4.2 percent per year. The moderation of coal prices in the Reference case results from a variety of factors, including a shift in production from Appalachia to the Interior and Western regions, which have lower costs of production, and a relatively at outlook for coal mining productivity, which acts to keep mine production costs close to current levels. In the Western and Interior coal supply regions, slight declines in mining productivity, combined with increased production, result in higher real minemouth prices in the AEO2011 Reference case, with prices increasing at average annual rates of 1.1 per
| |
| -cent in the Western region and 0.5 percent in the Interior region from 2009 to 2035 (Figure 103).In the Appalachian region, the average real minemouth coal price increases by 0.2 percent per year from 2009 to 2035. The price outlook for Appalachian coal primarily reects continuing but slower declines in coal mining productivity. Recent increases in the average price of Appalachian coal, from $1.27 per million Btu in 2000 to $2.56 per million Btu in 2009, in part as a result of signicant declines in mining productivity over the decade, have substantially reduced the competitiveness of Appalachian coal with coal from other producing regions.

Because key details of the Air Transport Rule have not been nalized, however, it is not included in the AEO2011 Reference case. A temporary version of CAIR remains binding until the Air Transport Rule can be nalized, and the Reference case assumes that CAIR remains in eect through 2035.

| |
| -ing number of coal-red power plants being tted with NO x control equipment, NO x emissions are maintained at the levels needed to meet the CAIR target.Coal-red power plants can be retrotted with any of the three types of NO x control technologies: selective catalytic converter (SCR), selective noncatalytic converter (SCNR), or low-NO x burners. The type of retrot used depends on the specic char
| |
| -acteristics of the plant, including the boiler conguration and the type of coal used. From 2009 to 2035, 155 gigawatts of coal-red capacity is retrotted with NO x controls in the Reference case: 61 percent with SCR, 5 percent with SCNR, and 33 percent with low-NO x burners.Since the U.S. District Court of Appeals overturned the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) in July 2008 [
| |
| 95], followed by its temporary reinstatement of the rule 6 months later, there has been tremendous uncertainty about regulation of sulfur diox
| |
| -ide (SO 2) emissions from electric power plants. In July 2010, the EPA proposed the Air Transport Rule, which would require emissions reductions similar to those in CAIR, but is designed to address the court's objections to CAIR. Currently, the EPA is reviewing public comments on the Air Transport Rule, and many key details of the regulation have not been determined. Because of the uncertainty about the ultimate makeup of the Air Transport Rule, AEO2011 assumes that the temporary CAIR rule, which still is the binding rule on SO 2 emissions from power plants, remains in eect through 2035.
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, SO 2 emissions from the U.S. electric power sector fall to between 3.8 and 4.1 million short tons from 2015 to 2035, or an average of about 30 percent below 2009 levels (Figure 107). The reduction occurs as a result of CAIR limits. Emissions uctuate slightly from year to year after 2020 as a result of allowance banking, which is allowed under CAIR but probably will be more limited under the Air Transport Rule, given its restrictions on allowance trading. In order to meet the emission reduction requirements in CAIR, new ue gas desulfurization (FGD) retrots are installed on 54 gigawatts of coal capacity from 2009 to 2035, increasing the total amount of generating capacity with FGD equipment installed to approximately 222 gigawatts, or 70 percent of coal-red generating capacity in the electric power sector, in 2035. In the Reference case, 8.8 gigawatts of coal-red capacity is retired from 2009 to 2035.HistoryProjections 0 2 4 6 2000 2005 2009 2015 2020 2025 2030 20355.333.641.991.981.982.002.012.03Figure 108.

| THIS PAGE IN TEN TIONALLY LEF T BLANK Comparison with other projections U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 92Comparison with other projectionsOnly IHS Global Insight (IHSGI) produces a comprehensive energy projection with a time horizon similar to that of the Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011). Other organizations, however, address one or more aspects of the U.S. energy market. The most recent projection from IHSGI, as well as others that concentrate on economic growth, international oil prices, energy consumption, electricity, natural gas, petroleum, and coal, are compared here with the AEO2011 Reference case.1. Economic growthThe range of projected economic growth tends to be wider for the earlier years of the projection period and then narrows in the long run, because the group of concepts-such as population, productivity, and labor force growth-that explain long-run growth trends is smaller than the group of variables that aect projections of short-run growth. From 2009 to 2011, projections for the average annual rate of growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States range from -0.1 percent to 3.0 percent (Table 12).
| |
| In the AEO2011 Reference case, real GDP grows at a 2.4-percent average annual rate over the 2009-2011 period, lower than projected by the O~ce of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Interindustry Forecasting Project at the University of Maryland (INFORUM); however, not all of those projections have been updated to take account of the faster pace of economic recovery that became evident late in 2010. The AEO2011 projection of GDP growth is slightly lower than the projections by IHSGI and higher than projection by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), although the BLS macroeconomic projections are made only every 2 years. In March 2010, the consensus Blue Chip projection was for 3.0-percent average annual growth in GDP from 2009 to 2011.The range of GDP growth rates narrows over the period from 2011 to 2015, with projections ranging from 3.0 to 4.0 percent per year. The average annual GDP growth of 3.2 percent in the AEO2011 Reference case from 2011 to 2015 falls in the middle of the range, with the OMB projecting a stronger recovery from the recession. OMB projects average annual GDP growth of 4.0 percent from 2011 to 2015. INFORUM, IHSGI, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) all project growth rates that are below that in the AEO2011 Reference case.There are few public or private projections of GDP growth for the United States that extend to 2035. The AEO2011 Reference case projects 2.7-percent average annual GDP growth from 2009 to 2035, consistent with trends in labor force and productivity growth. IHSGI projects GDP growth averaging 2.7 percent per year from 2009 to 2035, and INFORUM projects lower GDP growth of 2.5 percent over the same period. INFORUM also projects lower growth in productivity and labor force.2. World oil prices In the AEO2011 Reference case, world oil prices rise from $62 per barrel to approximately $95 per barrel in 2015 and $108 per barrel in 2020 (Table 13). From 2020 to 2035, prices increase slowly to $125 per barrel in 2035. This price trend is slightly lower than the trend shown in the AEO2010 Reference case.Table 12.

| 93U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Comparison with other projectionsMarket volatility and diering assumptions about the future of the world economy are reected in the range of price projections for both the short term and the long term; however, most projections show prices rising over the entire course of the projection period although slowing after 2025. The other projections range from $78 per barrel to $95 per barrel in 2015, a span of $17 per barrel; and from $78 per barrel to $135 per barrel in 2035, a span of $57 per barrel. The wide range underscores the uncertainty inherent in the projections. The range of the other projections is encompassed in the range of the AEO2011 Low and High Oil Price cases, from $55 per barrel to $146 per barrel in 2015 and from $50 per barrel to $200 per barrel in 2035.World oil price measures are, by and large, comparable across projections. EIA reports the price of imported low-sulfur, light crude oil, approximately the same as the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price widely cited in the trade press as a proxy for world oil prices. The only series that do not report projections in WTI terms are IEA's World Energy Outlook 2010, where prices are expressed as the IEA crude oil import price, and INFORUM, where prices are expressed as the average U.S. rener acquisition cost of imported crude oil.3. Total energy consumptionThree of the projections, IHSGI, INFORUM, and ExxonMobil, feature consumption by sector. However, to allow comparison with the IHSGI projection, the AEO2011 Reference case was adjusted to remove coal-to-liquids (CTL) heat and power, biofuels heat and co-products, and natural gas feedstock use. The ExxonMobil projections do not include electricity consumption in the sectoral consumption breakout. Both the IHSGI and INFORUM projections feature higher total energy consumption than AEO2011 , while ExxonMobil features lower consumption (Table 14).Both INFORUM and IHSGI have signicantly higher projections of electricity consumption than AEO2011, which explains much of the dierence in the levels of energy consumption among the three projections: the generation of electricity uses approximately three times the amount of energy from fuel as the amount of useful energy provided to end users. In both the INFORUM and IHSGI projections, the electric power sector consumes 10 quadrillion Btu more energy than projected in AEO2011. The greater use of electricity, predominantly for more conventional applications, results in higher electricity prices.None of the electricity projections includes more than modest penetration of electric vehicles in the transportation sector by 2035 (IHSGI projects almost 300 trillion Btu of electricity consumed in the transportation sector in 2035). The ExxonMobil projection for electricity does not detail electricity consumption, but the amount of energy used to generate electricity is at the 2008 level in 2025 and 2030, with electricity producers aggressively switching to natural gas from coal (the amount of coal used by electricity generators ranks third behind natural gas and nuclear in 2030).Projected commercial and transportation sector electricity consumption in INFORUM is comparable to that in AEO2011, but electricity consumption in the residential and industrial sectors in the INFORUM projection grows to a level more than 50 percent above consumption in 2009, much greater than the increase in AEO2011 (about 20 percent in the residential sector and 10 percent in the industrial sector). Residential and industrial sector electricity consumption in the IHSGI projection also grows faster than in AEO2011 , but at a somewhat slower rate than in the INFORUM projection. However, commercial sector electricity consumption grows more rapidly in the IHSGI projection than in both the INFORUM and AEO2011 projections. AEO2011 includes the consensus agreement to implement one round of appliance standard updates that holds down residential electricity growth, as well as growth in industrial natural gas usage for combined heat and power, which shifts some industrial energy demand from electricity to natural gas.Despite the much higher level of electricity consumption in the IHSGI projection, projected total energy consumption is only about 1.2 quadrillion Btu higher than in AEO2011. The dierence is moderated by lower growth in motor gasoline consumption in the transportation sector in the IHSGI forecast. Motor gasoline consumption in the IHSGI projection in 2035 is almost 3 quads lower than in AEO2011, however, the lower level of gasoline consumption is partially oset by about one quad higher diesel fuel consumption. The IHSGI projection includes about 3 million more light-duty truck sales in 2035 (but comparable numbers of light-duty car sales) than AEO2011.INFORUM projects higher prices for motor gasoline than AEO2011 (more than $1 higher in 2035), with more e~cient light-duty vehicles (the vehicle stock average is about 1.8 mpg higher in 2035). However, the total stock of vehicles is larger (due mainly to a stock dierence in 2009), and they are driven more miles, leading to a higher level of consumption in the INFORUM forecast than shown in AEO2011. The ExxonMobil projection has energy use in each sector level or declining from the level in 2008, which leads to lower overall energy consumption than in the AEO2011 Reference case.

| : 4. ElectricityTable 15 provides a summary of the results from the AEO2011 Reference case and compares them with the other projections. Electricity sales increase on average by 1.1 percent per year through 2015 in AEO2011, reaching 3,811 billion kilowatthours, which is lower than the other projections. Electricity sales in 2015 range from a low of 3,811 billion kilowatthours in AEO2011 to a high of 4,500 billion kilowatthours in INFORUM. The IHSGI projection of electricity sales, at 4,119 billion kilowatthours in 2015, also projects higher sales than AEO2011 for the residential and commercial sectors, while industrial sector sales are slightly less than in AEO2011. Both IHSGI and INFORUM project higher sales in 2035 than AEO2011. In 2035, IHSGI projects sales of 5,551 billion kilowatthours, INFORUM projects 5,935 billion kilowatthours, and AEO2011 projects 4,483 billion kilowatthours. Although INFORUM does not provide sales by sector, IHSGI projects higher sales than AEO2011 for all sectors in 2035.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 94Comparison with other projectionsThe average retail electricity price in AEO2011 falls from 9.8 cents per kilowatthour in 2009 to 8.9 cents per kilowatthour in 2015. IHSGI projects a higher average retail price of 10.4 cents per kilowatthour in 2015, consistent with the higher level of demand in that projection. The average retail electricity price remains relatively at after 2015 in AEO2011, rising to only 9.2 cents per kilowatthour in 2035. In comparison, the average retail electricity price increases to 12.9 cents per kilowatthour in the IHSGI projection, again reecting the much higher level of electricity sales in that projection.Although the average retail electricity price in the residential sector falls in AEO2011 from 11.5 cents per kilowatthour in 2009 to 10.6cents per kilowatthour in 2025 before rising to 10.8 cents per kilowatthour in 2035, it rises steadily in the Energy Ventures Analysis (EVA) and IHSGI projections, to 18.5 cents per kilowatthour and 13.2 cents per kilowatthour in 2025, respectively. The average residential retail electricity price in the INFORUM projection is similar to those in AEO2011. The relative patterns of change in retail electricity prices in the commercial and industrial sectors in the AEO2011, EVA, IHSGI, and INFORUM projections are similar to those in the residential sector.The change in total generation and imports of electricity in 2015 is consistent with sales, ranging from 4,286 billion kilowatthours in AEO2011 to 4,522 billion kilowatthours in the IHSGI projection. The level of generation continues to increase with the growth Table 14.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 96Comparison with other projectionsin sales. In 2035, the total electricity supply from generation plus imports ranges from 5,181 billion kilowatthours in AEO2011 to 6,025billion kilowatthours in the IHSGI projection, over 16 percent higher than in AEO2011.AEO2011 projects more coal-red generation in 2035 than IHSGI-2,218 billion kilowatthours compared with 1,487 billion kilowatthours. The dierence in the IHSGI projection, which includes greater electricity demand, is made up by increased generation primarily from natural gas but also from nuclear and hydroelectric/other energy sources. While AEO2011 shows 1,288billion kilowatthours of natural-gas-red generation in 2035, IHSGI shows 2,261 billion kilowatthours. Nuclear generation in 2035 totals 874 billion kilowatthours in AEO2011, compared with 1,163 billion kilowatthours in the IHSGI projection, and hydroelectric/other generation in 2035 is 740 billion kilowatthours in AEO2011, compared with 1,069 billion kilowatthours in the IHSGI projection.The mix of generating capability by fuel is relatively similar across the projections in 2015. By 2025, however, the mix of generating capacity begins to change, due to variations in the projected rates of growth in electricity demand and more aggressive retirements of coal capacity in the EVA and ICF International (ICF) projections. Although little coal-red capacity is retired in the IHSGI projection by 2025, the greater growth in electricity demand is met by a sharp increase in natural gas and hydroelectric/other capacity. Natural-gas- and oil-red capacity in 2025 totals 574 gigawatts in the IHSGI projection, compared with 489 gigawatts in AEO2011. While the ICF projection shows less growth in demand, it shows more retirements of coal capacity by 2025. As a result, ICF shows the highest level of natural-gas- and oil-red capacity in 2025, at 579 gigawatts.The faster growth in natural gas and hydroelectric/other capacity continues through 2035 in the IHSGI and ICF projections. Natural-gas- and oil-red capacity reaches 675 gigawatts and 655 gigawatts in 2035 in the IHSGI and IFC projections, respectively. By comparison, natural-gas- and oil-red capacity grows to only 572 gigawatts in AEO2011 in 2035. Hydroelectric/other capacity continues to grow in each of the three projections after 2025, to 384 gigawatts and 297 gigawatts in the IHSGI and ICF projections, Table 15.

The IHSGI projection shows the most growth in U.S. nuclear power capacity, to 147 gigawatts in 2035, compared with 111 gigawatts in AEO2011. ICF shows 108 gigawatts of nuclear capacity in 2035.Environmental regulations are an important factor in the selection of technologies for electricity generation. While complete information on the regulations assumed in each of the projection is not available. AEO2011 includes only current laws and regulations; it does not assume a cap or tax on carbon dioxide (CO

| |
| : 5. Natural gasThe variation among published projections of natural gas consumption, production, imports, and prices (Table 16) can be signicant. It results from dierences in the assumptions that underlie the projections. For example, the natural gas projection in the AEO2011 Reference case assumes, for the most part, that current laws and regulations will continue through the projection period, whereas other natural gas projections may include anticipated policy developments over the next 25 years. In particular, AEO2011 does not assume the implementation of regulations limiting CO 2 emissions or other types of emissions beyond those already in eect.Each of the projections examined here shows an increase in overall natural gas consumption from 2009 to 2035, with the ICF and IHSGI projections having the most signicant increases, at 43 percent and 41 percent, respectively. Total natural gas consumption in the INFORUM and ExxonMobil projections remains at from 2009 to 2015 but grows to a level comparable with those in the AEO2011, Deutsche Bank (DB), and EVA projections in 2025. In the later years of all the projections, total natural gas consumption grows despite increasing natural gas prices, with the exception of the DB projection, which shows a decline in consumption from 2025 to 2035. Total natural gas consumption in 2035 in the ICF and IHSGI projections is about 30 percent higher than in the DB projection, which shows the lowest level of total natural gas consumption.The ICF, ExxonMobil, and IHSGI projections for natural gas consumption by electricity generators are signicantly dierent from the other projections. In 2035, IHGSI is more than double the lowest projection, the AEO2011 Reference case. AEO2011, DB, EVA, and INFORUM show similar projections of natural gas consumption for the electricity generation sector, with annual growth rates of 1 percent across the projection period; the ICF, ExxonMobil, and IHSGI projections show 3-percent annual growth. The slow growth in AEO2011 reects slow growth for electricity generation due to the construction of planned coal, renewable, and nuclear capacity builds. Industrial natural gas consumption varies greatly across the dierent projections. ICF, INFORUM, EVA, and the AEO2011 Reference case show growing industrial natural gas consumption throughout the projection period. Industrial natural gas consumption in AEO2011, however, increases by 31 percent from 2009 to 2015 and then levels o for the remainder of the projection, whereas in the other projections it grows more steadily. The growth in industrial natural gas consumption in AEO2011 is attributable to relatively low industrial natural gas prices, a strong increase in natural gas use in combined heat and power plants, and a signicant increase in the use of natural gas as a feedstock in the chemical and hydrogen industries. Industrial natural gas consumption remains constant in the ExxonMobil projection throughout the projection period, while industrial natural gas consumption in the IHSGI and DB projections increases initially, then declines from 2015 to 2035. The projections of industrial natural gas consumption in 2035 range from 36 percent above the 2009 level (INFORUM) to 11 percent below the 2009 level (DB).The basic consumption patterns and levels of natural gas consumption are relatively similar across the residential sector projections, with the exception of DB. (It should be noted that ExxonMobil's projection for residential consumption includes commercial consumption.) Residential sector natural gas consumption in the DB projection increases steadily, growing to 26 percent above the 2009 level in 2035. Three of the six projections (INFORUM, AEO2011, and EVA) show relatively similar growth in commercial consumption in the projection period. The projections of commercial natural gas consumption in the ICF, DB and IHSGI projections are initially similar to the other projections, but demand eventually declines, resulting in 2035 projections of commercial natural gas consumption that are below 2009 levels. (INFORUM's 2009 commercial consumption level is 3.68 trillion cubic feet, signicantly higher than the others.) The DB projection includes the most signicant decline, falling to 23 percent below 2009 levels in 2035.With the exception of the DB and INFORUM projections for the period after 2025, all the projections show growing domestic natural gas production throughout the projection period, although at dierent rates. The greatest growth in natural gas production is in the ICF projection, and the lowest is in the INFORUM projection. Natural gas production in the ICF projection exceeds that in the INFORUM projection by 28 percent in 2025. With signicant declines in net pipeline imports, ICF and the AEO2011 Reference case project strong increases in the domestic production share of total natural gas supply. The rest of the projections show domestic natural gas production maintaining a relatively stable share of total natural gas supply, with the exception of the DB projection, where domestic production drops o notably in 2035 with a big increase in LNG imports. In all the other projections, net LNG imports remain well under 1 trillion cubic feet throughout the projection period. Some of the projections show declines in net pipeline imports relative to the 2009 level. The exception is IHSGI, which shows increasing net pipeline imports after 2015, following an initial dip. In comparison with EVA and DB, the AEO2011 and ICF projections show severe declines in pipeline imports.

In contrast, DB projects lower but more stable production levels, with greater price increases; and IHSGI projects stronger growth in natural gas production than AEO2011, EVA, and ICF, with lower and more stable prices.Only three of the projections provide delivered natural gas prices for comparison: the AEO2011 Reference case, ICF, and IHSGI. However, the ICF and IHSGI price projections are di~cult to compare with the AEO2011 prices because of apparent denitional dierences. In the ICF projection, end-use sector prices for the 2009 base year are very dierent from those in the AEO2011 and IHSGI projections. Further, the IHSGI industrial delivered natural gas price is di~cult to compare. The IHSGI industrial delivered natural gas price in 2009 is $1.23 higher than the 2009 price in AEO2011 and $1.35 higher than the 2009 price in the ICF projection (all prices in 2009 dollars per thousand cubic feet). The AEO2011 historical delivered industrial natural gas price is based on the Manufacturing-Industrial Energy Production Survey (rather than EIA's Natural Gas Monthly, which represents prices paid to local distribution companies by industrial customers). To put the prices on a more common basis, price margins (the dierence between delivered prices and average wellhead prices) can be compared.For the residential and commercial sectors, each of the projections shows an initial decline in natural gas price margins from 2009 levels. The margins in the AEO2011 Reference case, however, recover 86 percent of the decline from the 2009 level by 2035, while the ICF and IHSGI margins continue declining throughout the projection period at relatively similar rates. The increase in residential and commercial margins in AEO2011 is attributable to a signicant decline in consumption per customer. From 2015 forward, the projected industrial margins are relatively stable in all three projections, although at signicantly dierent levels. The AEO2011 and IHSGI natural gas price margins for the electricity sector are similar, with IHSGI showing Table 16.

| : 6. Liquid fuels In the AEO2011 Reference case, the U.S. imported rener's acquisition cost (RAC) for crude oil (in 2009 dollars) increases to $86.83 per barrel in 2015, $107.40 barrel in 2025, and $113.70 per barrel in 2035 (Table 17). Prices are lower in all years in the DB, ICF, and IHSGI projections, ranging from $70 per barrel to $106 per barrel in 2035. In fact, the IHSGI price in 2035 is 9 percent lower than the 2015 price. The ICF price remains steady at $70 per barrel over the entire projection. The prices in the INFORUM projection are slightly higher in 2025 and 2035, reaching $125 per barrel in 2035. Purvin & Gertz (P&G) did not provide a projection of RAC prices.Domestic crude oil production increases by 11 percent from 2009 to 2035 in the AEO2011 projection. The INFORUM projection shows production varying within a slightly wider band but remaining at a lower overall level than in AEO2011. DB, IHSGI, and P&G all project decreasing domestic crude production. DB's projection for 2035 is 40 percent lower than the AEO2011 projection, and IHSGI's is 43 percent lower. In the AEO2011 Reference case, total net imports of crude oil and petroleum products in 2035 are 9percent lower than in 2009, consistent with projected increases in domestic production of crude oil. IHSGI and INFORUM both project higher total net imports in 2035.Prices for motor gasoline prices and diesel fuel increase steadily through 2035 in the AEO2011 projection. INFORUM also projects rising prices but at a faster rate than in AEO2011. IHSGI projects decreasing prices. Biofuels supply is listed separately only in the AEO2011 Reference case and in the P&G projection. In AEO2011, biofuels supply increases steadily through 2035 in response to the Renewable Fuels Standard mandate. In the P&G projection, biofuel supply remains steady. Total product demand, including both petroleum products and biofuels, is similar in the AEO2011 and P&G projections.

| : 7. CoalThe coal projections provided by DB, EVA, ICF, INFORUM, and Wood Mackenzie (WM) present interesting contrasts with the AEO2011 Reference case. Only AEO2011 and INFORUM show growth in coal consumption; the other projections show declines ranging between 10 percent and 38 percent from 2009 levels by the end of their respective projection horizons.Of the six coal projections, only ICF and WM explicitly state that they include a price on carbon. In the ICF projection, coal consumption in 2015 (before implementation of the carbon price) is 3 percent higher than projected in AEO2011. In 2025, however, coal consumption in the ICF projection is 19 percent lower than ICF's projection for 2015 and 27 percent lower than the AEO2011 projection for 2025 (on a Btu basis); this dierence is most likely attributable to inclusion of the carbon price in 2025 along with other assumed regulations aecting coal use that are specied in the notes for Table 18. In 2030 and 2035, ICF's outlook for coal consumption is the lowest of the projections.For most years, the WM projection shows less coal consumption and production than in the AEO2011 projection, consistent with the impact of a carbon price. The WM projection also showed a decline in regional coal production, again consistent with the assumed carbon price. Coal production both east and west of the Mississippi declines in 2025 relative to 2015 in the WM projection. In 2030, total coal production (excluding coking coal) in the WM projection is 27 percent lower than in the AEO2011 projection. (WM provides projections only for thermal coal, thus excluding coking coal, which is used in steelmaking. In 2009, coking coal production occurred only in the East, and it accounted for 11 percent of eastern coal production.)Excluding coking coal, the average minemouth price of coal per ton in 2015 in the WM projection is 19 percent higher than the corresponding price in the AEO2011 projection. The price dierence narrows after 2015, however, and in 2030 the AEO2011 and WM prices are nearly identical, despite very dierent coal production outlooks. The WM projection has generally lower production levels than the AEO2011 projection throughout the period, implying that WM includes higher production costs.The AEO2011 and WM projections show similar levels of eastern coal production (excluding coking coal) in 2030, diering by only 0.5 percent, which is noteworthy given the carbon price assumption in the WM projection. It appears that production west of the Mississippi falls more (in terms of tonnage) in the WM projection as a result of the carbon price, but the regional shares of total production remain constant over the projection. Coal production east of the Mississippi (excluding coking coal) represents 38 to 39 percent of total production in all years in the WM projection, consistent with the historical share, but in the AEO2011 projection coal production east of the Mississippi falls to a 28-percent share in 2030. In AEO2011, more favorable pricing of western coal than eastern coal facilitates growth in western coal's share of total production.Steam coal exports fall to only 8 million tons in 2015 in the WM projection, a decline of 63 percent from 2009 levels, and then exceed 2009 levels by 2025. While steam coal exports show modest gains after 2015, they never reach the higher levels seen in 2008. In contrast, steam coal exports in the AEO2011 projection vary little, ranging between 18 and 20 million tons from 2009 to 2035 and remaining well below the volumes exported in 2008.In the INFORUM projection, coal exports total 177 million tons in 2035, the equivalent of about 11 percent of total U.S. production in 2035 and 64 million tons higher than the historical record set in 1981. Total coal exports in 2035 in the INFORUM case are more than double the total in the AEO2011 projection. Imports are also notably higher in the INFORUM projection, at 113 million tons in 2035-triple the highest historical level of U.S. imports.
| |
| 101U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011Comparison with other projectionsAlthough ICF does not explicitly provide a coal export projection, coal consumption (in Btu) declines at a far faster rate than coal production (provided in tons only), implying strong growth in exports. For example, from 2015 to 2025, coal production east of the Mississippi-historically, where most U.S. coal exports originate-rises by nearly 100 million tons; and while total coal production falls by 4 percent (47 million tons), coal consumption (in Btu) declines by a much larger 19 percent. The gap between production and consumption closes somewhat by 2035, with production 29 percent lower and consumption 39 percent lower than ICF's projection for 2015. EVA also projects strong coal exports that remain in the range of 80 million tons, similar to 2008 export levels, for the projection years shown. In the AEO2011 Reference case, exports hover in the 70 million ton range.Table 17.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 104Comparison with other projectionsIn the INFORUM projection, the average minemouth price of coal (in constant 2009 dollars) increases by about 140 percent from 2009 to 2035. The rise may be due in part to higher mining costs and expectations of growth in domestic coal demand, but it may also be due to strong international demand for U.S. coal. Larger exports of coking coal-which typically command higher prices than thermal coal exports-might also explain some of the increase in the average coal minemouth price in the INFORUM projection.ICF projects a minemouth coal price on 2015 that is 8 percent lower on a Btu basis than the AEO2011 price in 2015, although coal production in 2015 is 11 percent higher in the ICF projection. All of the increase in production in 2015 relative to AEO2011 is attributed to production east of the Mississippi, possibly for export. Over the projection, as ICF's total production falls relative to AEO2011, its average minemouth price still continues to rise, so that in 2035 it is only 4 percent lower than the corresponding price in AEO2011. The rise in minemouth prices in the ICF projection could be the result of strong international demand, a larger share of higher-cost eastern production, or rising mining costs. In contrast, ICF's delivered coal price to the electricity sector falls slightly from 2015 levels, possibly reecting either a larger proportion of eastern coal production, which would have lower total transport costs, or generally lower transportation rates for all U.S. coal shipments. AEO2011 projects an increase in the delivered price of coal to the electricity sector, reecting higher transportation costs for western coal, as well as higher projected minemouth prices for coal from most basins.The strongest growth in coal production is projected by INFORUM. In 2035, coal production in the INFORUM projection is 24percent above the AEO2011 projection. Similarly, coal consumption in the INFORUM projection is the highest among all the projections regardless of the projection year.Total coal consumption declines at a rate of 0.5 percent per year (on a tonnage basis) from 2009 to 2030 in the EVA projection, as compared with an average increase of 1.1 percent per year in AEO2011. For the same period, thermal coal consumption (excluding coking coal) declines by 0.7 percent per year in the WM projection but increases by 1.1 percent per year in the AEO2011 projection. From 2009 to 2035, coal consumption increases by 1.7 percent per year (on a tonnage basis) in the INFORUM projection and by 1.1percent per year in the AEO2011 Reference case. Also over the 2009-2035 period, coal consumption in the DB and ICF projections (on a Btu basis) declines at by 0.4 percent per year and 1.8 percent per year, respectively, compared with an increase of 0.8 percent per year in the AEO2011 projection.

| |
| [1], developed and maintained by the O~ce of Energy Analysis (OEA), formerly known as the O~ce Integrated Analysis and Forecasting (OIAF), of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) [
| |
| 2]. In addition to its use in developing the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) projections, NEMS is also used to complete analytical studies for the U.S. Congress, the Executive O~ce of the President, other o~ces within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and other Federal agencies. NEMS is also used by other nongovernment groups, such as the Electric Power Research Institute, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and OnLocation, Inc. In addition, the AEO projections are used by analysts and planners in other government agencies and nongovernment organizations.The projections in NEMS are developed with the use of a market-based approach to energy analysis. For each fuel and consuming sector, NEMS balances energy supply and demand, accounting for economic competition among the various energy fuels and sources. The time horizon of NEMS is the period through 2035, approximately 25 years into the future. In order to represent regional dierences in energy markets, the component modules of NEMS function at the regional level: the nine Census divisions for the end-use demand modules; production regions specic to oil, natural gas, and coal supply and distribution; 22 subregions of the North American Electric Reliability Council regions and subregions for electricity [
| |
| 3]; and the 5 Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs) for reneries.NEMS is organized and implemented as a modular system. The modules represent each of the fuel supply markets, conversion sectors, and end-use consumption sectors of the energy system. NEMS also includes delivered prices of energy to end users and the quantities consumed, by product, region, and sector. The delivered fuel prices encompass all the activities necessary to produce, import, and transport fuels to end users. The information ows also include other data on such areas as economic activity, domestic production, and international petroleum supply.The Integrating Module controls the execution of each of the component modules. To facilitate modularity, the components do not pass information to each other directly but communicate through a central data structure. This modular design provides the capability to execute modules individually, thus allowing decentralized development of the system and independent analysis and testing of individual modules. The modular design also permits the use of the methodology and level of detail most appropriate for each energy sector. NEMS calls each supply, conversion, and end-use demand module in sequence until the delivered prices of energy and the quantities demanded have converged within tolerance, thus achieving an economic equilibrium of supply and demand in the consuming sectors. A solution is reached annually through the projection horizon. Other variables, such as petroleum product imports, crude oil imports, and several macroeconomic indicators, also are evaluated for convergence.Each NEMS component represents the impacts and costs of legislation and environmental regulations that aect that sector. NEMS accounts for all combustion-related carbon dioxide (CO
| |
| : 2) emissions, as well as emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2), nitrogen oxides (NO x), and mercury from the electricity generation sector.The version of NEMS used for AEO2011 represents current legislation and environmental regulations as of January 31, 2011, such as: the October 13, 2010, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waiver that allows the use of E15 in light-duty vehicles (LDVs) built in 2007 or later; EPA guidelines regarding compliance of surface coal mining operations in Appalachia, issued on April 1, 2010; the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which was enacted in mid-February 2009; the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 (EIEA2008), signed into law on October 3, 2008; the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA2007), signed into law on December 19, 2007. The AEO2011 models do not represent the Clean Air Mercury Rule, which was vacated and remanded by the D.C. Circuit Court of the U.S. Court of Appeals on February 8, 2008, but it does represent State requirements for reduction of mercury emissions.The AEO2011 Reference case reects the temporary reinstatement of the NO x and SO 2 cap-and-trade programs included in the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) as a result of the ruling issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on December 23, 2008. The potential impacts of proposed Federal and State legislation, regulations, or standards-or of sections of legislation that have been enacted but require funds or implementing regulations that have not been provided or specied-are not reected in NEMS. However, many pending provisions are examined in alternatives cases included in AEO2011 or in other analyses completed by EIA.In general, the historical data used for the AEO2011 projections are based on EIA's Annual Energy Review 2009, published in August 2010 [4]; however, data were taken from multiple sources. In some cases, only partial or preliminary data were available for 2009.
| |
| CO 2 emissions were calculated by using CO 2 coe~cients from the EIA report, Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2009, published in April 2011 [
| |
| 5]. Historical numbers are presented for comparison only and may be estimates. Source documents should be consulted for the o~cial data values. Footnotes to the AEO2011 appendix tables indicate the denitions and sources of historical data.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 210 NEMS overview and brief description of casesThe AEO2011 projections for 2010 and 2011 incorporate short-term projections from EIA's October 2010 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). For short-term energy projections, readers are referred to monthly updates of the STEO [6].Component modulesThe component modules of NEMS represent the individual supply, demand, and conversion sectors of domestic energy markets and also include international and macroeconomic modules. In general, the modules interact through values representing prices or expenditures for energy delivered to the consuming sectors and the quantities of end-use energy consumption.Macroeconomic Activity ModuleThe Macroeconomic Activity Module (MAM) provides a set of macroeconomic drivers to the energy modules and receives energy-related indicators from the NEMS energy components as part of the macroeconomic feedback mechanism within NEMS. Key macroeconomic variables used in the energy modules include gross domestic product (GDP), disposable income, value of industrial shipments, new housing starts, sales of new LDVs, interest rates, and employment. Key energy indicators fed back to the MAM include aggregate energy prices and costs. The MAM uses the following models from IHS Global Insight: Macroeconomic Model of the U.S. Economy, National Industry Model, and National Employment Model. In addition, EIA has constructed a Regional Economic and Industry Model to project regional economic drivers, and a Commercial Floorspace Model to project 13 oorspace types in 9 Census divisions. The accounting framework for industrial value of shipments uses the North American Industry Classication System (NAICS).
| |
| International Energy ModuleThe International Energy Module (IEM) uses assumptions of economic growth and expectations of future U.S. and world petroleum liquids production and consumption, by year, to project the interaction of U.S. and international liquids markets. The IEM computes world oil prices, provides a world crude-like liquids supply curve, generates a worldwide oil supply/demand balance for each year of the projection period, and computes initial estimates of crude oil and light and heavy petroleum product imports to the United States by PADD regions. The supply-curve calculations are based on historical market data and a world oil supply/demand balance, which is developed from reduced-form models of international liquids supply and demand, current investment trends in exploration and development, and long-term resource economics for 221 countries and territories. The oil production estimates include both conventional and unconventional supply recovery technologies.In interacting with the rest of NEMS, the IEM changes the world oil price-which is dened as the price of foreign light, low-sulfur crude oil delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma (Petroleum Allocation Defense District 2)-in response to changes in expected production and consumption of crude oil and product liquids in the United States.Residential and Commercial Demand ModulesThe Residential Demand Module projects energy consumption in the residential sector by housing type and end use, based on delivered energy prices, the menu of equipment available, the availability and cost of renewable sources of energy, and housing starts. The Commercial Demand Module projects energy consumption in the commercial sector by building type and non-building uses of energy and by category of end use, based on delivered prices of energy, availability of renewable sources of energy, and macroeconomic variables representing interest rates and oorspace construction.Both modules estimate the equipment stock for the major end-use services, incorporating assessments of advanced technologies, including representations of renewable energy technologies, and the eects of both building shell and appliance standards, including the recent consensus agreement reached between manufacturers and environmental interest groups. The Commercial Demand Module incorporates combined heat and power (CHP) technology. The modules also include projections of distributed generation. Both modules incorporate changes to "normal" heating and cooling degree-days by Census division, based on a 10-year average and on State-level population projections. The Residential Demand Module projects an increase in the average square footage of both new construction and existing structures, based on trends in new construction and remodeling.
| |
| Industrial Demand ModuleThe Industrial Demand Module (IDM) projects the consumption of energy for heat and power, feedstocks, and raw materials in each of 21 industries, subject to the delivered prices of energy and the values of macroeconomic variables representing employment and the value of shipments for each industry. As noted in the description of the MAM, the value of shipments is based on NAICS. The industries are classied into three groups-energy-intensive manufacturing, non-energy-intensive manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Of the eight energy-intensive industries, seven are modeled in the IDM, with energy-consuming components for boiler/steam/cogeneration, buildings, and process/assembly use of energy. The use of energy for petroleum rening is modeled in the Petroleum Market Module (PMM), as described below, and the projected consumption is included in the industrial totals.A generalized representation of cogeneration and a recycling component also are included. A new economic calculation for CHP systems was implemented for AEO2011. The evaluation of CHP systems now uses a discount rate, which depends on the 10-year Treasury bill rate plus a risk premium, replacing the previous calculation that used simple payback. Also, the base year of the IDM was updated to 2006 in keeping with an update to EIA's 2006 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey [

| 211U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 NEMS overview and brief description of casesTransportation Demand ModuleThe Transportation Demand Module projects consumption of fuels in the transportation sector, including petroleum products, electricity, methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, and hydrogen, by transportation mode, vehicle vintage, and size class, subject to delivered prices of energy fuels and macroeconomic variables representing disposable personal income, GDP, population, interest rates, and industrial shipments. Fleet vehicles are represented separately to allow analysis of other legislation and legislative proposals specic to those market segments. The Transportation Demand Module also includes a component to assess the penetration of alternative-fuel vehicles. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT2005) and EIEA2008 are reected in the assessment of impacts of tax credits on the purchase of hybrid gas-electric, alternative-fuel, and fuel-cell vehicles. Representations of corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards and of biofuel consumption in the module reect standards enacted by the National Highway Tra~c Safety Administration (NHTSA) and EPA, and provisions in EISA2007.The air transportation component of the Transportation Demand Module explicitly represents air travel in domestic and foreign markets and includes the industry practice of parking aircraft in both domestic and international markets to reduce operating costs, as well as the movement of aging aircraft from passenger to cargo markets. For passenger travel and air freight shipments, the module represents regional fuel use in regional, narrow-body, and wide-body aircraft. An infrastructure constraint, which is also modeled, can potentially limit overall growth in passenger and freight air travel to levels commensurate with industry-projected infrastructure expansion and capacity growth.
| |
| Electricity Market ModuleThere are three primary submodules of the Electricity Market Module-capacity planning, fuel dispatching, and nance and pricing. The capacity expansion submodule uses the stock of existing generation capacity; the menu, cost, and performance of future generation capacity; expected fuel prices; expected nancial parameters; expected electricity demand; and expected environmental regulations to project the optimal mix of new generation capacity that should be added in future years. The fuel dispatching submodule uses the existing stock of generation equipment types, their operation and maintenance costs and performance, fuel prices to the electricity sector, electricity demand, and all applicable environmental regulations to determine the least-cost way to meet that demand. The submodule also determines transmission and pricing of electricity. The nance and pricing submodule uses capital costs, fuel costs, macroeconomic parameters, environmental regulations, and load shapes to estimate generation costs for each technology.All specically identied options promulgated by the EPA for compliance with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA90) are explicitly represented in the capacity expansion and dispatch decisions; those that have not been promulgated (e.g., ne particulate proposals) are not incorporated. All nancial incentives for power generation expansion and dispatch specically identied in EPACT2005 have been implemented. Several States, primarily in the Northeast, have recently enacted air emission regulations for CO 2 that aect the electricity generation sector, and those regulations are represented in AEO2011. The AEO2011 Reference case reects the temporary reinstatement of the NO x and SO 2 cap-and-trade programs included in CAIR due to the ruling issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on December 23, 2008. State regulations on mercury also are reected in AEO2011.Although currently there is no Federal legislation in place that restricts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, regulators and the investment community have continued to push energy companies to invest in technologies that are less GHG-intensive. The trend is captured in the AEO2011 Reference case through a 3-percentage-point increase in the cost of capital when evaluating investments in new coal-red power plants and new coal-to-liquids (CTL) plants without carbon capture and storage (CCS).

| Renewable Fuels ModuleThe Renewable Fuels Module (RFM) includes submodules representing renewable resource supply and technology input information for central-station, grid-connected electricity generation technologies, including conventional hydroelectricity, biomass (dedicated biomass plants and co-ring in existing coal plants), geothermal, landll gas, solar thermal electricity, solar photovoltaics (PV), and wind energy. The RFM contains renewable resource supply estimates representing the regional opportunities for renewable energy development. Investment tax credits (ITCs) for renewable fuels are incorporated, as currently enacted, including a permanent 10-percent ITC for business investment in solar energy (thermal nonpower uses as well as power uses) and geothermal power (available only to those projects not accepting the production tax credit [PTC] for geothermal power). In addition, the module reects the increase in the ITC to 30 percent for solar energy systems installed before January 1, 2017, and the extension of the credit to individual homeowners under EIEA2008.PTCs for wind, geothermal, landll gas, and some types of hydroelectric and biomass-fueled plants also are represented. They provide a credit of up to 2.1 cents per kilowatthour for electricity produced in the rst 10 years of plant operation. For AEO2011, new wind plants coming on line before January 1, 2013, are eligible to receive the PTC; other eligible plants must be in service before January 1, 2014. As part of the ARRA, plants eligible for the PTC may instead elect to receive a 30-percent ITC or an equivalent direct grant. AEO2011 also accounts for new renewable energy capacity resulting from State renewable portfolio standard (RPS) programs, mandates, and goals, as described in Assumptions to the Annual Energy Outlook 2011

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 212 NEMS overview and brief description of cases Oil and Gas Supply ModuleThe Oil and Gas Supply Module represents domestic crude oil and natural gas supply within an integrated framework that captures the interrelationships among the various sources of supply-onshore, oshore, and Alaska-by all production techniques, including natural gas recovery from coalbeds and low-permeability formations of sandstone and shale. The framework analyzes cash ow and protability to compute investment and drilling for each of the supply sources, based on the prices for crude oil and natural gas, the domestic recoverable resource base, and the state of technology. Oil and natural gas production activities are modeled for 12 supply regions, including 6 onshore, 3 oshore, and 3 Alaskan regions.The Onshore Lower 48 Oil and Gas Supply Submodule evaluates the economics of future exploration and development projects for crude oil and natural gas at the play level. Crude oil resources are divided into known plays and undiscovered plays, including highly fractured continuous zones, such as the Austin chalk and Bakken shale formations. Production potential from advanced secondary recovery techniques (such as inll drilling, horizontal continuity, and horizontal prole) and enhanced oil recovery (such as CO 2 ooding, steam ooding, polymer ooding, and prole modication) are explicitly represented. Natural gas resources are divided into known producing plays, known developing plays, and undiscovered plays in high-permeability carbonate and sandstone, tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane.Domestic crude oil production quantities are used as inputs to the PMM in NEMS for conversion and blending into rened petroleum products. Supply curves for natural gas are used as inputs to the Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution Module (NGTDM) for determining natural gas wellhead prices and domestic production.Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution ModuleThe NGTDM represents the transmission, distribution, and pricing of natural gas, subject to end-use demand for natural gas and the availability of domestic natural gas and natural gas traded on the international market. The module tracks the ows of natural gas and determines the associated capacity expansion requirements in an aggregate pipeline network, connecting the domestic and foreign supply regions with 12 U.S. lower 48 demand regions. The 12 regions align with the 9 Census divisions, with three subdivided and Alaska handled separately. The ow of natural gas is determined for both a peak and o-peak period in the year, assuming a historically based seasonal distribution of natural gas demand. Key components of pipeline and distributor taris are included in separate pricing algorithms. An algorithm is included to project the addition of compressed natural gas retail fueling capability. The module also accounts for foreign sources of natural gas, including pipeline imports and exports to Canada and Mexico, as well as liqueed natural gas (LNG) imports and exports.Petroleum Market ModuleThe PMM projects prices of petroleum products, crude oil and product import activity, and domestic renery operations, subject to demand for petroleum products, availability and price of imported petroleum, and domestic production of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and biofuels-ethanol, biodiesel, biomass-to-liquids (BTL), CTL, and gas-to-liquids (GTL). Costs, performance, and rst dates of commercial availability for the advanced alternative liquids technologies [

| 9] are reviewed and updated annually.The module represents rening activities in the ve PADDs, as well as a less detailed representation of rening activities in the rest of the world. It models the costs of automotive fuels, such as conventional and reformulated gasoline, and includes production of biofuels for blending in gasoline and diesel. Fuel ethanol and biodiesel are included in the PMM, because they are commonly blended into petroleum products. The module allows ethanol blending into gasoline at 10 percent or less by volume (E10), 15 percent by volume (E15) in States that lack explicit language capping ethanol volume or oxygen content, and up to 85 percent by volume (E85) for use in ex-fuel vehicles.The PMM includes representation of the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) included in EISA2007, which mandates the use of 36billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022. Both domestic and imported ethanol count toward the RFS. Domestic ethanol production is modeled for three feedstock categories: corn, cellulosic plant materials, and advanced feedstock materials. Corn-based ethanol plants are numerous (more than 180 are now in operation, with a total operating production capacity of more than 13 billion gallons annually), and they are based on a well-known technology that converts starch and sugar into ethanol. Ethanol from cellulosic sources is a new technology with only a few small pilot plants in operation.Fuels produced by gasication and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and through a pyrolysis process are also modeled in the PMM, based on their economics relative to competing feedstocks and products. The ve processes modeled are CTL, GTL, BTL, coal- and biomass-to-liquids, and pyrolysis.

| Coal Market ModuleThe Coal Market Module (CMM) simulates mining, transportation, and pricing of coal, subject to end-use demand for coal dierentiated by heat and sulfur content. U.S. coal production is represented in the CMM by 41 separate supply curves-dierentiated by region, mine type, coal rank, and sulfur content. The coal supply curves respond to capacity utilization of mines, mining capacity, labor productivity, and factor input costs (mining equipment, mining labor, and fuel requirements). Projections of U.S. coal distribution are determined by minimizing the cost of coal supplied, given coal demands by region and sector, environmental restrictions, and accounting for minemouth prices, transportation costs, and coal supply contracts. Over the projection horizon, coal transportation costs in the CMM vary in response to changes in the cost of rail investments.

| 213U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 NEMS overview and brief description of casesThe CMM produces projections of U.S. steam and metallurgical coal exports and imports in the context of world coal trade, determining the pattern of world coal trade ows that minimizes production and transportation costs while meeting a specied set of regional world coal import demands, subject to constraints on export capacities and trade ows. The international coal market component of the module computes trade in 3 types of coal for 17 export regions and 20 import regions. U.S. coal production and distribution are computed for 14 supply regions and 16 demand regions.Annual Energy Outlook 2011 casesTable E1 provides a summary of the cases produced as part of AEO2011. For each case, the table gives the name used in AEO2011 , a brief description of the major assumptions underlying the projections, the mode in which the case was run in NEMS (either fully integrated, partially integrated, or standalone), and a reference to the pages in the body of the report and in this appendix where the case is discussed. The text sections following Table E1 describe the various cases. The Reference case assumptions for each sector are described in Assumptions to the Annual Energy Outlook 2011

| .Macroeconomic growth casesIn addition to the AEO2011 Reference case, Low Economic Growth and High Economic Growth cases were developed to reect the uncertainty in projections of economic growth. The alternative cases are intended to show the eects of alternative growth assumptions on energy market projections. The cases are described as follows: In the Reference case, population grows by 0.9 percent per year, nonfarm employment by 1.0 percent per year, and labor productivity by 2.0 percent per year from 2009 to 2035. Economic output as measured by real GDP increases by 2.7 percent per year from 2009 through 2035, and growth in real disposable income per capita averages 1.6 percent per year.The Low Economic Growth case assumes lower growth rates for population (0.6 percent per year) and labor productivity (1.6percent per year), resulting in lower nonfarm employment (0.7 percent per year), higher prices and interest rates, and lower growth in industrial output. In the Low Economic Growth case, economic output as measured by real GDP increases by 2.1 percent per year from 2009 through 2035, and growth in real disposable income per capita averages 1.5 percent per year.The High Economic Growth case assumes higher growth rates for population (1.2 percent per year) and labor productivity (2.4 percent per year), resulting in higher nonfarm employment (1.4 percent per year). With higher productivity gains and employment growth, ination and interest rates are lower than in the Reference case, and consequently economic output grows at a higher rate (3.2 percent per year) than in the Reference case (2.7 percent). Disposable income per capita grows by 1.63percent per year, compared with 1.57 percent in the Reference case.

| Oil price casesThe world oil price in AEO2011 is dened as the average price of light, low-sulfur crude oil delivered in Cushing, Oklahoma, and is similar to the price for light, sweet crude oil traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. AEO2011 also includes a projection of the U.S. annual average reners' acquisition cost of imported crude oil, which is more representative of the average cost of all crude oils used by domestic reners.The historical record shows substantial variability in world oil prices, and there is arguably even more uncertainty about future prices in the long term. AEO2011 considers ve oil price cases (Reference, Low Oil Price, Traditional Low Oil Price, High Oil Price, and Traditional High Oil Price) to allow an assessment of alternative views on the course of future oil prices. The Low Oil Price case and Traditional Low Oil Price case use the same price path, as do the High Oil Price case and Traditional High Oil Price.The Low and High Oil Price cases reect a wide range of potential price paths, resulting from variation in demand for countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for liquid fuels due to dierent levels of economic growth. The Traditional Low and Traditional High Oil Price cases dene the same wide range of potential price paths, but they also reect dierent assumptions about decisions by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) regarding the preferred rate of oil production and about the future nding and development costs and accessibility of conventional oil resources outside the United States. Because the Low, Traditional Low, High, and Traditional High Oil Price cases are not fully integrated with a world economic model, the impact of world oil prices on international economies is not accounted for directly. In the Reference case, real world oil prices rise from a low of $78 per barrel (2009 dollars) in 2010 to $95 per barrel in 2015, then increase more slowly to $125 per barrel in 2035. The Reference case represents EIA's current judgment regarding exploration and development costs and accessibility of oil resources outside the United States. It also assumes that OPEC producers will choose to maintain their share of the market and will schedule investments in incremental production capacity so that OPEC's conventional oil production will represent about 42 percent of the world's total liquids production.In the Low Oil Price case, world crude oil prices are only $50 per barrel (2009 dollars) in 2035, compared with $125 per barrel in the Reference case. In the Low Oil Price case, the low price results from lower demand for liquid fuels in the non-OECD nations. Lower demand is derived from lower economic growth relative to the Reference case. In this case, GDP growth in the non-OECD is reduced by 1.5 percentage points in each projection year beginning in 2015 relative to Reference case. The OECD projections are only aected by the price impact.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 218 NEMS overview and brief description of cases In the Traditional Low Oil Price case, the OPEC countries increase their conventional oil production to obtain a 52-percent share of total world liquids production, and oil resources outside the U.S. are more accessible and/or less costly to produce (as a result of technology advances, more attractive scal regimes, or both) than in the Reference case. With these assumptions, conventional oil production outside the United States is higher in the Traditional Low Oil Price case than in the Reference case. Prices are the same as in the Low Oil Price case.In the High Oil Price case, world oil prices reach about $200 per barrel (2009 dollars) in 2035. In the High Oil Price case, the high prices result from higher demand for liquid fuels in the non-OECD nations. Higher demand is measured by higher economic growth relative to the Reference case. In this case, GDP growth in the non-OECD region is raised by 1.0 percentage points relative to Reference case in each projection year, starting in 2015. The OECD projections are only aected by the price impact. In the Traditional High Oil Price case, OPEC countries are assumed to reduce their production from the current rate, sacricing market share, and oil resources outside the United States are assumed to be less accessible and/or more costly to produce than in the Reference case. Prices are the same as in the High Oil Price case.Buildings sector casesIn addition to the AEO2011 Reference case, three standalone technology-focused cases using the Residential and Commercial Demand Modules of NEMS were developed to examine the eects of changes in equipment and building shell e~ciencies. Residential and commercial sector assumptions for the 2010 Technology case and the High Technology case are also used in the appropriate Integrated Technology cases.Residential sector assumptions for the three technology-focused cases are as follows:The 2010 Technology case assumes that all future equipment purchases are based only on the range of equipment available in 2010. Existing building shell e~ciencies are assumed to be xed at 2010 levels (no further improvements). For new construction, building shell technology options are constrained to those available in 2010.The High Technology case assumes earlier availability, lower costs, and higher e~ciencies for more advanced equipment
| |
| [11]. For new construction, building shell e~ciencies are assumed to meet ENERGY STAR requirements after 2015. Consumers evaluate investments in energy e~ciency at a 7-percent real discount rate.The Best Available Technology case assumes that all future equipment purchases are made from a menu of technologies that includes only the most e~cient models available in a particular year for each fuel, regardless of cost. For new construction, building shell e~ciencies are assumed to meet the criteria for the most e~cient components after 2010.Commercial sector assumptions for the three technology-focused cases are as follows:The 2010 Technology case assumes that all future equipment purchases are based only on the range of equipment available in 2010. Building shell e~ciencies are assumed to be xed at 2010 levels.The High Technology case assumes earlier availability, lower costs, and/or higher e~ciencies for more advanced equipment than in the Reference case
| |
| [12]. Energy e~ciency investments are evaluated at a 7-percent real discount rate. Building shell e~ciencies for new and existing buildings in 2035 are assumed to be 17.4 percent and 7.5 percent higher, respectively, than their 2003 levels-a 25-percent improvement relative to the Reference case.The Best Available Technology case assumes that all future equipment purchases are made from a menu of technologies that includes only the most e~cient models available in a particular year for each fuel, regardless of cost. Building shell e~ciencies for new and existing buildings in 2035 are assumed to be 20.8 percent and 9.0 percent higher, respectively, than their 2003 values-a 50-percent improvement relative to the Reference case.The Residential and Commercial Demand Modules of NEMS were also used to complete the High and Low Renewable Technology Cost cases, which are discussed in more detail below, in the renewable fuels cases section.

The assumptions result in capital cost estimates that are 20 percent below Reference case assumptions in 2011 and decline to at least 40 percent lower than Reference case costs in 2035.The High Renewable Technology Cost case assumes that costs and performance levels for residential and commercial PV and wind systems remain constant at 2010 levels through 2035.The No Sunset and Extended Policies cases described below in the cross-cutting integrated cases discussion also include assumptions in the Residential and Commercial Demand Modules of NEMS. The Extended Policies case builds on the No Sunset case and adds multiple rounds of appliance standards and building codes. In the two cases described below, those standards and codes are examined on their own. Essentially, these cases are similar to the Extended Policies case, but without the tax-credit extension assumptions of the No Sunset case.The Expanded Standards case includes updates to appliance standards, as prescribed by the timeline in DOE's multiyear plan, and introduces new standards for products currently not covered by DOE. E~ciency levels for the updated residential appliance standards are based on current ENERGY STAR guidelines. E~ciency levels for updated commercial equipment standards are based on the technology menu from the AEO2011 Reference case and FEMP-designated purchasing specications for Federal agencies.The Expanded Standards and Codes case begins with the Expanded Standards case and adds national building codes to reach 30-percent improvement relative to the IECC 2006 for residential households and ASHRAE 90.1-2004 for commercial buildings by 2020, with additional rounds of improved codes in 2023 and 2026.Industrial sector casesIn addition to the AEO2011 Reference case, two standalone cases using the IDM of NEMS were developed to examine the eects of less rapid and more rapid technology change and adoption. Because they are standalone cases, the energy intensity changes discussed in this section exclude the rening industry. Energy use in the rening industry is estimated as part of the PMM in NEMS. Dierent assumptions for the IDM were also used as part of the Integrated Low and High Renewable Technology Cost cases, Integrated Technology cases, No Sunset case, and Extended Policies case. For the industrial sector:The 2010 Technology case holds the energy e~ciency of new plant and equipment constant at the 2010 level over the projection period. Changes in aggregate energy intensity may result both from changing equipment and production e~ciency and from changing composition of output within an individual industry. Because the level and composition of overall industrial output are assumed to be the same as in the Reference, 2010 Technology, and High Technology cases, the change in energy intensity in the two technology side cases is attributable to process and e~ciency changes and increased use of CHP.The High Technology case assumes earlier availability, lower costs, and higher e~ciency for more advanced equipment

| [13] and a more rapid rate of improvement in the recovery of biomass byproducts from industrial processes (0.7 percent per year, as compared with 0.4 percent per year in the Reference case). The same assumption is incorporated in the integrated Low Renewable Technology Cost case, which focuses on electricity generation. Although the choice of the 0.7-percent annual rate of improvement in byproduct recovery is an assumption in the High Technology case, it is based on the expectation of higher recovery rates and substantially increased use of CHP in that case.The 2010 Technology and High Technology cases were run with only the IDM, rather than in fully integrated NEMS runs. Consequently, no potential feedback eects from energy market interactions are captured, and energy consumption and production in the rening industry, which are modeled in the PMM, are excluded.The No Sunset and Extended Policies cases include an assumption for CHP that extends the existing industrial CHP ITC through the end of the forecast. Additionally, the Extended Policies case includes expansion of the ITC for all industrial CHP capacities and raises the maximum credit that can be claimed. These assumptions are based on the current proposals in S. 1639 and H.R. 4751.Transportation sector casesIn addition to the AEO2011 Reference case, two standalone cases using the NEMS Transportation Demand Module were developed to examine the eects of advanced technology costs and e~ciency improvement on technology adoption and vehicle fuel economy
| |
| [14]. For the transportation sector:In the Low Technology case, the characteristics of conventional technologies, advanced technologies, and alternative-fuel LDVs, heavy-duty vehicles, and aircraft reect more pessimistic assumptions about cost and e~ciency improvements achieved over the projection. More pessimistic assumptions for fuel e~ciency improvement are also reected in the rail and shipping sectors. In the High Technology case, the characteristics of conventional and alternative-fuel LDVs reect more optimistic assumptions about incremental improvements in fuel economy and costs. In the freight truck sector, the High Technology case assumes more U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011220 NEMS overview and brief description of casesrapid incremental improvement in fuel e~ciency for engine and emissions control technologies. More optimistic assumptions for fuel e~ciency improvements are also made for the air, rail, and shipping sectors.The Low and High Technology cases were run with only the Transportation Demand Module rather than as fully integrated NEMS runs. Consequently, no potential macroeconomic feedback related to vehicles costs or travel demand was captured, nor were changes in fuel prices incorporated.Three additional integrated cases were developed to examine the potential energy impacts associated with the implementation of stricter fuel economy standards for LDVs and heavy-duty trucks, including: A CAFE 3% Growth case that examines the impact of increasing fuel economy standards by 3 percent annually for model years 2017 through 2025, reaching a combined standard of 46 miles per gallon for new LDVs by 2025. The standards are held constant beyond model year 2025. A CAFE 6% Growth case that examines the impact of increasing fuel economy standards by 6 percent annually for model years 2017 through 2025, reaching a combined standard of 59 miles per gallon for new LDVs by 2025. The standards are held constant beyond model year 2025. A Heavy-Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy Standards case that simulates the expected fuel economy impact of the fuel economy standards for heavy-duty vehicles (Class 2b through Class 8) for model years 2014 through 2018 proposed by the EPA and NHTSA.Electricity sector casesIn addition to the Reference case, several integrated cases with alternative electric power assumptions were developed to analyze uncertainties about the future costs and performance of new generating technologies. Two of the cases examine alternative assumptions for nuclear power technologies, and two examine alternative assumptions for fossil fuel technologies. Reference case values for technology characteristics are determined in consultation with industry and government specialists; however, there is always uncertainty surrounding the major component costs. The electricity cases analyze what could happen if costs of new plants were either lower or higher than assumed in the Reference case. The cases are fully integrated to allow feedback between the potential shifts in fuel consumption and fuel prices.Nuclear technology cost casesThe cost assumptions for the Low Nuclear Cost case reect a 20-percent reduction in the capital and operating costs for advanced nuclear technology in 2011, relative to the Reference case, and fall to 40 percent below the Reference case in 2035. The Reference case projects a 35-percent reduction in the capital costs of nuclear power plants from 2011 to 2035; the Low Nuclear Cost case assumes a 51-percent reduction from 2011 to 2035.The High Nuclear Cost case assumes that capital costs for advanced nuclear technology remain xed at the 2011 levels assumed in the Reference case. The capital costs are still tied to key commodity price indices, but no cost improvement from "learning-by-doing" eects is assumed.Fossil technology cost cases In the Low Fossil Technology Cost case, capital costs and operating costs for all coal- and natural-gas-red generating technologies are assumed to start 20 percent lower than Reference case levels and fall to 40 percent lower than Reference case levels in 2035. Because learning in the Reference case reduces costs with manufacturing experience, costs in the Low Fossil Technology Cost case are reduced by 43 to 58 percent between 2011 and 2035, depending on the technology.In the High Fossil Technology Cost case, capital costs for all coal- and natural-gas-red generating technologies remain xed at the 2011 values assumed in the Reference case. Costs are still adjusted year to year by the Commodity Price Index, but no learning-related cost reductions are assumed.Additional details about annual capital costs, operating and maintenance costs, plant e~ciencies, and other factors used in the Low and High Fossil Technology Cost cases are provided in Assumptions to the Annual Energy Outlook 2011

| [15].Electricity plant capital cost casesCosts to build new power plants have risen dramatically in the past few years, driven primarily by signicant increases in the costs of construction-related materials, such as cement, iron, steel and copper. For the AEO2011 Reference case, initial overnight costs for all technologies were updated to be consistent with cost estimates for 2010. A cost adjustment factor based on the projected producer price index for metals and metal products is also applied throughout the projection, allowing overnight costs to fall in the future if the index drops or to rise if the index increases. Although there is signicant correlation between commodity prices and power plant costs, there may be other factors inuencing future costs that increase the uncertainties surrounding the future costs of building new power plants. For AEO2011, two additional cost cases were run that focus on the uncertainties of future plant construction costs. These cases use exogenous assumptions for the annual adjustment factors, rather than linking to the metals price index. The cases are discussed in the Issues in focus article, "Electricity Plant Cost Uncertainties."
| |
| 221U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 NEMS overview and brief description of casesIn the Frozen Plant Capital Costs case, base overnight costs for all new electric generating technologies are assumed to be frozen at 2015 levels. Cost decreases due to learning can still occur. In this case, costs do decline slightly over the projection, but by 2035 are roughly 25 percent above Reference case costs for the same year. In the Decreasing Plant Capital Costs case, base overnight costs for all new electricity generating technologies are assumed to fall more rapidly than in the Reference case. The base overnight costs are assumed to be 20 percent below the Reference case, through a reduction in the annual cost index. Costs are also assumed to decline more rapidly, so that by 2035 the cost factor is 40 percentage points below the Reference case value.Electricity environmental regulation casesOver the next few years, electricity generators will have to begin steps to comply with a large number of new environmental regulations currently in various stages of promulgation. The AEO2011 Reference case does not include regulations that are still under development. However, the Issues in focus article "Power sector environmental regulations on the horizon" discusses the status of the dierent rules and examines potential impacts through a number of cases.The Transport Rule Mercury MACT 5 case assumes that the Air Transport Rule limits on SO 2 and NO x and a 90-percent mercury MACT (maximum achievable control technology) are enacted. A 5-year recovery period for investments in environmental control projects is assumed.The Transport Rule Mercury MACT 20 case assumes the same rules as above, but a 20-year recovery period for investments in environmental control projects is assumed.The Retrot Required 5 case represents stringent requirements for reductions in airborne emissions from coal-red power plants. It assumes that utility boilers fall under the MACT rule, which requires all plants to install FGD scrubbers by 2020 in order to comply with acid gas reduction requirements. It also requires that all plants install SCR in order to meet future NO x and ozone emission reduction requirements. If the investment in an FGD and SCR is not economical, the plant is retired. Investments in retrots are assumed to be recovered over a 5-year period.The Retrot Required 20 case assumes the same requirements as above, but investments in retrots are assumed to be recovered over a 20-year period.The Low Gas Price Retrot Required 5 case is identical to the Retrot Required 5 case but adds an assumption of increased availability domestic shale availability and utilization rate, as in the High Shale EUR case. Increased access to natural gas lowers the natural gas prices paid by the electric power sector.The Low Gas Price Retrot Required 20 case is identical to the Low Gas Price Retrot Required 5 case, but investments in retrots are assumed to be recovered over a 20-year period.
| |
| Renewable fuels casesIn addition to the AEO2011 Reference case, two integrated cases with alternative assumptions about renewable fuels were developed to examine the eects of less aggressive and more aggressive improvement in the cost of renewable technologies. The cases are as follows: In the Low Renewable Technology Cost case, the levelized costs of energy resources for generating technologies using renewable resources are assumed to start at 20 percent below Reference case assumptions in 2011 and decline to 40 percent below the Reference case costs for the same resources in 2035. In general, lower costs are represented by reducing the capital costs of new plant construction. Biomass fuel supplies also are assumed to be 40 percent less expensive than in the Reference case for the same resource quantities used in the Reference case. Assumptions for other generating technologies are unchanged from those in the Reference case. In the Low Renewable Technology Cost case, the rate of improvement in recovery of biomass byproducts from industrial processes is also increased.In the High Renewable Technology Cost case, capital costs, operating and maintenance costs, and performance levels for wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and renewable liquid fuel technologies are assumed to remain constant at 2011 levels through 2035. Costs are still tied to key commodity price indexes, but no cost improvement from "learning-by-doing" eects is assumed. Although biomass prices are not changed from the Reference case, this case assumes that dedicated energy crops (also known as "closed-loop" biomass fuel supply) do not become available.

| Oil and gas supply casesThe sensitivity of the AEO2011 projections to changes in the assumed rates of technological progress in oil and natural gas supply are examined in two cases: In the Slow Technology case, parameters representing the eects of technological progress on production rates, exploration and development costs, and success rates for conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas drilling are 50 percent less optimistic than those in the Reference case. Key Canadian supply parameters also are modied to simulate the assumed impacts of slow oil and natural gas technology penetration on Canadian supply potential. All other parameters in the model are kept at the Reference case values.

| U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 222 NEMS overview and brief description of casesIn the Rapid Technology case, parameters representing the eects of technological progress on production rates, exploration and development costs, and success rates for conventional and unconventional oil and natural gas drilling in the Reference case are improved by 50 percent. Key supply parameters for Canadian oil and natural gas also are modied to simulate the assumed impacts of more rapid oil and natural gas technology penetration on Canadian supply potential. All other parameters in the model are kept at Reference case values, including technology parameters for other modules, parameters aecting foreign oil supply, and assumptions about imports and exports of LNG and natural gas trade between the United States and Mexico. Specic detail by region and fuel category is provided in Assumptions to the Annual Energy Outlook 2011

| [16].Seven additional cases examine key uncertainties aecting exploration and development of oshore and shale gas resources and their impacts on future domestic natural gas supply. In the Reduced OCS Access case, no new lease sales occur in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacic, Atlantic, and Alaska OCS through 2035. In the High OCS Resource case, oil and natural gas resources in undeveloped areas of the OCS (namely the Pacic, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Alaska) are assumed to be 3 times higher than in the Reference case. In the High OCS Costs case, the costs of exploration and development of oil and natural gas resources in the OCS are assumed to be 30 percent higher than in the Reference case. In the Low Shale EUR case, the estimated ultimately recovery (EUR) per shale gas well is assumed to be 50 percent lower than in the Reference case, increasing the per-unit cost of developing the resource. The total unproved technically recoverable shale gas resource is decreased to 423 trillion cubic feet. In the High Shale EUR case, the EUR per shale gas well is assumed to be 50 percent higher than in the Reference case, decreasing the per-unit cost of developing the resource. The total unproved technically recoverable shale gas resource is increased from 827 trillion cubic feet in the Reference case to 1,230 trillion cubic feet.In the Low Shale Recoverability case, the total unproved technically recoverable shale gas resource base is the same as in the Low Shale EUR case (423 trillion cubic feet), but instead of decreasing the EUR per well, the estimate of the number of wells that need to be drilled to fully recover the shale gas in each play is assumed to be 50 percent lower than in the Reference case. This means that the per-unit cost of developing the resource is the same as in the Reference case. In the High Shale Recoverability case, the total unproved technically recoverable shale gas resource base is the same as in the High Shale EUR case (1,230 trillion cubic feet), but instead of increasing the EUR per well, the estimate of the number of wells that need to be drilled to fully recover the shale gas in each play is assumed to be 50 percent higher than in the Reference case. This means that the per-unit cost of developing the resource is the same as in the Reference case.

| Coal market casesTwo alternative coal cost cases examine the impacts on U.S. coal supply, demand, distribution, and prices that result from alternative assumptions about mining productivity, labor costs, mine equipment costs, and coal transportation rates. The alternative productivity and cost assumptions are applied in every year from 2011 through 2035. For the coal cost cases, adjustments to the Reference case assumptions for coal mining productivity are based on variation in the average annual productivity growth of 2.7percent observed since 2000. Transportation rates are lowered (in the Low Coal Cost case) or raised (in the High Coal Cost case) from Reference case levels to achieve a 25-percent change in rates relative to the Reference case in 2035. The Low and High Coal Cost cases represent fully integrated NEMS runs, with feedback from the macroeconomic activity, international, supply, conversion, and end-use demand modules. In the Low Coal Cost case, the average annual growth rates for coal mining productivity are higher than those in the Reference case and are applied at the supply curve level. As an example, the average annual growth rate for Wyoming's Southern Powder River Basin supply curve is increased from -0.5 percent in the Reference case for the years 2011 through 2035 to 2.2 percent in the Low Coal Cost case. Coal mining wages, mine equipment costs, and other mine supply costs all are assumed to be about 22percent lower in 2035 in real terms in the Low Coal Cost case than in the Reference case. Coal transportation rates, excluding the impact of fuel surcharges, are assumed to be 25 percent lower in 2035. In the High Coal Cost case, the average annual productivity growth rates for coal mining are lower than those in the Reference case and are applied as described in the Low Coal Cost case. Coal mining wages, mine equipment costs, and other mine supply costs in 2035 are assumed to be about 28 percent higher than in the Reference case, and coal transportation rates in 2035 are assumed to be 25 percent higher.Additional details of the productivity, wage, mine equipment cost, and coal transportation rate assumptions for the Reference and alternative coal cost cases are provided in Appendix D.Cross-cutting integrated casesIn addition to the sector-specic cases described above, a series of cross-cutting integrated cases are used in AEO2011 to analyze specic cases with broader sectoral impacts. For example, two integrated technology progress cases combine the assumptions 223U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011 NEMS overview and brief description of casesfrom the other technology progress cases to analyze the broader impacts of more rapid and slower technology improvement rates. In addition, two cases also were run with alternative assumptions about expectations of future regulation of GHG emissions.Integrated technology casesThe Integrated 2010 Technology case combines the assumptions from the Residential, Commercial, and Industrial 2010 Technology cases and the Electricity High Fossil Technology Cost, High Renewable Technology Cost, and High Nuclear Cost cases. The Integrated High Technology case combines the assumptions from the Residential, Commercial, and Industrial High Technology cases and the Electricity Low Fossil Technology Cost, Low Renewable Technology Cost, and Low Nuclear Cost cases.Greenhouse gas casesAlthough currently no Federal cap-and-trade legislation or carbon allowance pricing for CO 2 emissions is in place in the United States, the EPA announced a proposal in September 2009 to regulate emissions under the CAAA90. Under the proposal, industrial facilities with emission over 25,000 metric tons per year would be required to obtain permits that would demonstrate they are using the best practices and technologies to minimize GHG emissions. The rule also proposes new CAAA90 thresholds for permits to new or existing industrial facilities for GHG emissions under the New Source Review (NSR) and Title V operating permits programs. As a result, regulators and the investment community are beginning to push energy companies to invest in less GHG-intensive technologies. To reect the market reaction to potential future GHG regulation, a 3-percentage-point increase is assumed in the cost of capital for investments in new coal-red power plants without CCS and new CTL plants without CCS in the Reference case and all other AEO2011 cases except the No GHG Concern and GHG Price Economywide cases. Those assumptions aect cost evaluations for the construction of new capacity but not the actual operating costs when a new plant begins operationTwo alternative GHG cases are used to provide a range of other potential outcomes, from no concern about future GHG legislation to the imposition of a specic economy-wide carbon allowance price. In the GHG Price Economywide case, an economy-wide carbon allowance price is examined. The price begins at $25 per metric ton CO 2 in 2013 and rises to $75 per metric ton CO 2 in 2035 (2009 dollars). This trajectory is consistent with the cost containment provisions in both the Kerry-Lieberman and Waxman-Markey GHG legislation. No assumptions are made for osets, bonus allowances for CCS, or specic allocation of allowances in these cases.The No GHG Concern case, which was run without any adjustment for concern about potential GHG regulations, is similar to what was run in previous AEOs (without the 3-percentage-point increase). In the No GHG Concern case, the same cost of capital is used to evaluate all new capacity builds, regardless of type.
| |
| CO 2 availability casesTwo alternative CO 2 availability cases are used to provide sensitivity analysis of oil production from CO 2-EOR, depending on the availability of relatively inexpensive CO 2 both with a carbon price and without one. The Low EOR case assumes that industrial CO 2 available from CTL and BTL plants is reduced by 50 percent from the Reference case. The Low EOR/GHG Price Economywide case assumes that the CO 2 availability is reduced and a carbon price exists that provides incentives for emitters to install carbon capture capabilities.
| |
| No Sunset caseIn addition to the AEO2011 Reference case, a case was run assuming that selected policies with sunset provisions like the PTC, ITC, and tax credits for energy-e~cient equipment in the buildings and industrial sectors will be extended indenitely rather than allowed to sunset as the law currently prescribes.For the residential sector, these extensions include: (a) personal tax credits for selected end-use equipment, including furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning; (b) personal tax credits for PV installations, solar water heaters, small wind turbines, and geothermal heat pumps; (c) manufacturer tax credits for refrigerators, dishwashers, and clothes washers, passed on to consumers at 100 percent of the tax credit value.For the commercial sector, business ITCs for PV installations, solar water heaters, small wind turbines, geothermal heat pumps, and CHP are extended to the end of the projection. The business tax credit for solar technologies remains at the current 30-percent level without reverting to 10 percent as scheduled.In the industrial sector, the existing ITC for industrial CHP, which currently ends in 2016, is extended to 2035.For the renery sector, blending credits are extended; the $1.00 per gallon biodiesel tax credit is extended; the $0.54 per gallon imported ethanol tari is extended; and the $1.01 per gallon cellulosic biofuels PTC is extended.For renewables, the PTC of 2.1 cents per kilowatthour (or 30 percent for wind, geothermal, biomass, hydroelectric, and landll gas resources), which currently are set to expire at the end of 2012 for wind and 2013 for other eligible resources, are extended to 2035; and the 30-percent solar power ITC, which currently is scheduled to revert to 10 percent, is extended indenitely.Extended Policies caseAssumptions for tax credit extensions are the same as in the No Sunset case described above. Further, updates to Federal appliance e~ciency standards are assumed to occur at regular intervals, and new standards for products not currently covered by DOE U.S. Energy Information Administration l Annual Energy Outlook 2011224 NEMS overview and brief description of casesare introduced. Finally, proposed rules by NHTSA and the EPA for national tailpipe CO 2-equivalent emissions and fuel economy standards for LDVs, including both passenger cars and light-duty trucks, are harmonized and incorporated in this case.Updates to appliance standards are assumed to occur as prescribed by the timeline in DOE's multiyear plan, and new standards for products currently not covered by DOE are introduced by 2019. The e~ciency levels chosen for the updated residential appliance standards are based on current ENERGY STAR guidelines. The e~ciency levels chosen for updated commercial equipment standards are based on the technology menu from the AEO2011 Reference case and either FEMP-designated purchasing specications for Federal agencies or ENERGY STAR guidelines. National building codes are added to reach 30-percent improvement relative to IECC 2006 for residential households and ASHRAE 90.1-2004 for commercial buildings by 2020, with additional rounds of improvements in 2023 and 2026.In the industrial sector, tax credits are further extended to cover all systems sizes rather than applying only to systems under 50megawatts, and the maximum credit (cap) is increased from $15,000 to $25,000 per system. These extensions are consistent with previously proposed legislation (S. 1639) or pending legislation (H.R. 4751).For transportation, the Extended Policies case assumes that the standards are further increased, so that the minimum fuel economy standard achieved by LDVs increases to 45.6 miles per gallon in 2035.
| |
| E15 casesTwo alternative E15 cases were established to reect the potential variability in consumer demand for E15, which depends on multiple factors and ultimately aects the conversion rate of gasoline stations from E10 to E15. In the Low E15 Penetration case, the infrastructure and regulatory barriers to E15 adoption are more pronounced, and penetration of E15 in all demand regions grows at a slower rate, reaching a lower maximum level than in the Reference case. E15 penetration never rises to one-third of the maximum potential penetration level in any of the U.S. Census Divisions.In the High E15 Penetration case, E15 adoption occurs at a faster rate and reaches a higher overall level than in the Reference case. Any State that currently has laws or regulations that prohibit the use of ethanol blends above 10 percent or gasoline with an oxygenate content in excess of 3.5 percent is assumed to remove those restrictions by 2015. In addition, E15 penetration rises to 99 percent of the potential maximum level in all regions by 2020, indicating that infrastructure or regulatory barriers do not inhibit the use of E15 in gasoline markets.
