Rapidly changing energy outlook Howard Gruenspecht, NASEO February 6,
Key results from the AEO2014 Reference case 9 Growing domestic production of natural gas and oil continues to reshape the U.S. energy economy, with crude oil approaching the 1970 all-time high of 9.6 million barrels per day Light-duty vehicle energy use declines sharply reflecting slowing growth in vehicle miles traveled and accelerated improvement in vehicle efficiency With continued growth in shale gas production, natural gas becomes the largest source of U.S. electric power generation, surpassing coal by 2035, and boosting production and natural gas consumption in manufacturing Strong growth in domestic natural gas production supports increased exports of both pipeline and liquefied natural gas With strong growth in domestic oil and gas production, U.S. dependence on imported fuels falls sharply Improved efficiency of energy use and a shift away from carbon-intensive fuels keep U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions below their 2005 level through 2040 Howard Gruenspecht, NASEO February 6, 2014

Wood energy data: collaboration to expand coverage Howard Gruenspecht, NASEO February 6, Improving EIA’s data series will require collaborative efforts with: –states through NASEO –Department of Agriculture/Forest Service –various parts of the wood industry Potential improvements include –covering more forms of wood consumption –standardizing pricing and Btu estimation –surveying wholesale and retail prices of wood products
Why wood matters Howard Gruenspecht, NASEO February 6, Over 13 million homes use wood, including almost 3 million as the primary heating fuel Residential wood consumption is now close to fuel oil (between trillion Btu) and expected to surpass fuel oil in our projections Collecting better wood data presents challenges –market lacks standardization –regulation of cordwood retailers varies by location –heat content varies by type of wood, dryness –some transactions may not involve a price
