In its December and November STEOs, the EIA notes that conversion from bodily items to Btu is calculated utilizing a subset of conversion elements used within the calculations of gross vitality consumption in EIA’s Month-to-month Vitality Assessment.
The Vitality Institute’s (EI) newest statistical assessment of world vitality, which was launched earlier this 12 months, confirmed that U.S. major vitality consumption got here in at 94.28 exajoules in 2023. That determine was 1.2 p.c down 12 months on 12 months and represented 15.2 p.c of whole major vitality consumption in 2023, the assessment highlighted.
From 2013 to 2023, U.S. major vitality demand has grown by a mean of 0.2 p.c yearly, the assessment outlined.
The U.S. was the nation with the second highest major vitality demand determine in 2023, in accordance with the assessment, which confirmed that China had the best consumption determine final 12 months, at 170.74 exajoules.
That determine marked a 6.5 p.c 12 months on 12 months improve and 27.6 p.c of whole major vitality demand in 2023, the assessment identified. From 2013 to 2023, China’s major vitality demand has grown by a mean of three.4 p.c yearly, the assessment outlined.
The EI notes in its assessment that major vitality includes commercially traded fuels, together with trendy renewables used to generate electrical energy. Vitality from all sources of non-fossil energy technology is accounted for on an input-equivalent foundation, the assessment provides.
