    U.S. Energy in the 21st Century: A Primer March 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46723 SUMMARY R46723 U.S. Energy in the 21st Century: A Primer March 16, 2021 Since the start of the 21st century, the U.S. energy system has changed tremendously. Technological advances in energy production have driven changes in energy consumption, and Melissa N. Diaz, the United States has moved from being a net importer of most forms of energy to a declining Coordinator importer—and a net exporter in 2019. The United States remains the second largest producer and Analyst in Energy Policy consumer of energy in the world, behind China. Overall energy consumption in the United States has held relatively steady since 2000, while the mix of energy sources has changed. Between 2000 and 2019, consumption of natural gas and renewable energy increased, while oil and nuclear power were relatively flat and coal decreased. In the same period, production of oil, natural gas, and renewables increased, while nuclear power was relatively flat and coal decreased. Overall energy production increased by 42% over the same period. Increases in the production of oil and natural gas are due in part to technological improvements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling that have facilitated access to resources in unconventional formations (e.g., shale). U.S. oil production (including natural gas liquids and crude oil) and natural gas production hit record highs in 2019. The United States is the largest producer of natural gas, a net exporter, and the largest consumer. Oil, natural gas, and other liquid fuels depend on a network of over three million miles of pipeline infrastructure.

When reviewing the energy mix, we must solve simultaneous equations with many variables. This requires objective and quantitative analyses. 2.

The Best Energy Mix from Comprehensive Viewpoints 1) S (safety) ● Safety is a prerequisite for energy policies and the activities of the energy industry itself. ● Safety is a measure of the overall competence in various areas including technology, appropriate regulatory framework, cooperation among national and local governments, and the allocation of responsibility among the national government, local governments and utilities. ● Since other energy options also have their advantages and disadvantages (in terms of supply stability, economic efficiency, global warming mitigation, etc.), completely phasing out nuclear power would incur significant risk. Japan must develop safer nuclear power, which is supported by people.

  • Asia/World Energy Outlook ― Focusing on ASEAN Economies Towards Market Integration ― * * * * * Zheng LU Shigeru SUEHIRO Yuji MATSUO Yukari YAMASHITA Kokichi ITO
    IEEJ:May 2017 © IEEJ2017 Asia/World Energy Outlook ― Focusing on ASEAN Economies towards Market Integration ― * * * * * Zheng LU Shigeru SUEHIRO Yuji MATSUO Yukari YAMASHITA Kokichi ITO This paper presents the major results of a long-term outlook of energy supply and demand, and CO2 emissions for Asia and the world, especially the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. The world’s primary energy consumption will reach 18.9 Gtoe (billion tons of oil equivalent) in 2040, up 40% from 2014. During the same period, ASEAN’s primary energy consumption will expand 2.2-fold, accounting for 14% of the global increment. ASEAN’s coal consumption will increase 3.5-fold, accounting for 40% of the world's increment. One-fifth of global energy-related CO2 emission growth (9.5 billion tons from 2014 to 2040) will be due to ASEAN. Due to a rapid increase in fossil fuel demand, ASEAN will become a net importer of fossil fuels. On the other hand, ASEAN countries will require enormous investment in energy resource development and infrastructure construction. In order to promote effective use of regional energy resources, infrastructure consolidation, such as power grid interconnection, can be expected to reduce energy imports, increase the energy self-sufficiency rate and suppress CO2 emissions. Keywords: Energy outlook, ASEAN, Integration of market, Energy investment 1. Foreword developed countries. As energy infrastructure In response to weak economic recovery in development is insufficient in ASEAN countries such Western countries and economic modulation in China as Myanmar and Cambodia, the ASEAN region’s and other emerging countries, global energy non-electrification rate was as high as 19% as of consumption growth has decelerated over recent 2013, with some 120 million people having no access years.
