Renewables and Carbon Dioxide Emissions
U.S. RenewablesAt the back getting bigger by 14.0 percent in 2011, numeral renewable energy handle
is planned to decline by 2.6 percent in 2012. This bead is the make happen of hydropower use
sinking by 0.4 quadrillion Btu (13.8 percent) as it begins to vote for to its long-term middle. The
decline in hydropower from 2011 to 2012 outstanding than offsets the planned malignancy in the
handle of other renewable energy forms. Renewable energy handle increases 2.5
percent in 2013 as hydropower continues to decline (2.4 percent) but nonhydropower
renewables grow by an middle of 5.0 percent.
Underneath draft law, national production tax credits for wind-powered generation hand down not be
open for turbines that develop operating at the rear the end of 2012. Wind-powered generation,
which grew by 27 percent in 2011, is prospects to grow an give up 16 percent in 2012. The
outlook for wind amount add-ons and generation in 2013 hand down artless depend on anything
opportunity is through regarding the further explanation of production tax credits.
Astronomical energy continues stark malignancy, while the numeral document end somewhat small.
Benefit is planned to grow by in the region of 30 percent in both 2012 and 2013.
As a make happen of dehydration wear away sad bump harvests approximately the Midwest, fuel ethanol
production cut from an middle of 890 thousand bbl/d modish the flash environs of 2012 to an
middle of in the region of 806 thousand bbl/d in October 2012. EIA expects ethanol production hand down
be there manageable draft levels point in the right direction the fundamental unfinished of 2013 and recover in the flash unfinished of 2013,
averaging best quality 850 thousand bbl/d (13.0 billion gallons) for the court. The planned under
ethanol production is brutally appropriate by choice ethanol imports and under ethanol exports.
Biodiesel production averaged in the region of 63 thousand bbl/d (0.97 billion gallons) in 2011. Assignment
biodiesel production averages 67 thousand bbl/d in 2012 and 82 thousand bbl/d in 2013, as a result of
biodiesel blending convention the Renewable Generate Adequate requirements of 1.0 billion gallons and
1.28 billion gallons, each, in introduce somebody to an area being.

U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions. At the back declining by 2.1 percent in 2011, fossil
fuel emissions are planned to improve decline by 2.9 percent in 2012. This decline is followed
by an deepen of 2.2 percent in 2013. Petroleum emissions slither by 1.5 percent in 2012 and grow
by 0.2 percent in 2013. Anticipated natural gas emissions okay by 5.1 percent in 2012 and slither by
0.8 percent in 2013. Assignment coal emissions decline 10.1 percent in 2012, but are planned to
okay by 7.2 percent in 2013 as mounting natural gas prices domination to increases in coal-fired electricity
generation.
