US Energy Consumption
August 2005
•
In the year 2003, the US energy consumption per day,
exceeded 320 billion kWh.
•
This is equivalent of the energy in 48.7 million barrels
of crude oil per day.
•
US burns 380 million U.S. gallons of gasoline per day.
•
Roughly half of the total energy consumption goes into
transportation.
•
US gets its energy from:
– 40% crude oil
– 23% natural gas
– 23% coal
– 8 % nuclear
– 6% renewable

US Energy Imports
August 2005
•
Today US imports
– 54% of its crude oil from the Middle East
– 60% of its natural gas from Canada
•
The amounts and percentages of these imports are
predicted to increase to 68% for oil and 74% for gas, to
satisfy the increasing energy needs by 2010.
•
The price of barrel of crude oil has climbed to > $65/
barrel. The price may climb further due to increased
demand, especially from China, India and instability in the
Middle East. The predictions are that it will persist above
$50/barrel.
•
Similarly natural gas prices are expected to rise with the
rise of crude.

The Rising Oil Prices

Economist magazine.
•
The price of crude oil on
August 11 hit a new
record high of $66.15.
•
Continuing capacity
shortages in US
refineries, demand from
emerging economies, and
instability in the Middle
East will raise the price to
$ 70/ barrel or more.

The Challenges
US is facing serious challenges, these are:
• US needs energy to maintain its standard of living.
Currently the needs far exceeds its domestic production?
August 2005
•
Energy demand by emerging economies like India &
China will continue to drive the price up.
•
US increased reliance on foreign energy imports raises
the issue of security of energy supply in the US.
•
Fossil fuels emissions are affecting the environment. US
produces 6 billion tons of Carbon Dioxide/year.
DTE Energy Partnership & Services

The Environmental Impact of Burning
Fossil Fuel
August 2005
•
The US population is less than 4% and it consumes 25%
of the total annual fossil fuel consumed in the world. US
also generates 20% of all gaseous emissions.
•
Fossil power plants similarly produce carbon dioxide, Sox
(Sulfur dioxides), Nox (Nitrous oxides) and mercury.
•
These emissions have profound impact on environment:
– Acid rain by sulfur oxides (Sox)
– Smog by nitrogen oxide & Ozone ( Nox)
– Ozone thinning
– Heavy metal dispersion e.g. mercury, lead
– Global warming due to carbon dioxide resulting in
climatic changes
•
Coal and Wood or Biomass burning produces the largest
emissions to the atmosphere.

The Environmental Impact of Burning
Fossil Fuel (cont.)
August 2005
•
The UN’s Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), made up of the world’s top climate scientists
(including prominent dissenters), concluded that man’s
generated greenhouse gases have “contributed
substantially to the observed warming over the last 50
years”.
•
Research from NASA, US blue ribbon Presidential Panel
and a multitude of research centers, around the world,
have all concluded that global warming, and the need to
prevent more damage to weather systems, are among the
most serious and pressing of the Earth's problems.
•
“If we don’t reduce greenhouse emissions, there will be
grave consequences within the lifetime of today's
generation of children.”

President Bush Energy Plan
•
•
•
•
August 2005
Signed into law last month.
Provides $11 billion net cost of the tax package plus the
$2 billion direct spending ,over 10 years, mostly as
subsidies for oil drilling offshore and on federal lands, and
for new coal fired and nuclear power plants.
Focused on increasing energy supply while doing little to
reduce demand, in terms of energy efficiency, it:
– Proposes tax credits for hybrid and fuel cell cars (up to
$2300 per vehicle)
– It proposes accelerated depreciation for co-generation
projects
– Expands energy star product labeling on appliances
While it provides incentives for the construction of a new
generation of nuclear power plants, it doesn't deal with the
unresolved long-term problem of nuclear waste.

President Bush Energy Plan (cont.)
•
•
•
•
•
August 2005
The energy plan does not make any significant attempt to
reduce the enormous automobile fuel demand that makes
this country so dependent on imported oil.
It does not promote nor improve energy efficiency
standards e.g. better gas mileage, better building codes.
It leaves out the whole question of reducing green house
gases. In fact, it relaxes the air emission standards and
will result in more greenhouse emissions from burning
more fossil fuel.
It does not provide significant incentives for R&D nor
promote the market for, energy efficiency technologies or
non polluting energy technologies like wind, solar and
bio-fuels.
It does not lower fuel prices anytime.

Energy Efficiency/ Conservation
•
•
•
•
With the right drivers ( Increasing
public awareness, tax incentives,
access to capital and credit, and high
energy prices), a nationwide energy
efficiency/ conservation program can
reduce energy consumption by 25%.
This saves
– equiv of 20.8 barrels of crude
oil/year.
– 1.5 billion tons/year of greenhouse
gas emissions
– $260B/year of crude imports
assuming a price of $50/barrel
Creates jobs in building and
engineering industries.
Stimulates new technological
development in Energy Efficiency (EE)
& alternative energy.

Energy Efficiency - transportation
The economically recoverable crude oil from US parklands
and artic national wildlife refuge is estimated to be 4 billion
barrels. The plan is to recover it over 20 years. It will
stretch US fuel supplies by 200 million barrels/year.
In comparison, making simple energy efficiency changes
in transportation can achieve a saving of 340 million
barrels of crude oil/year.
Furthermore, this will reduce greenhouse emissions and
Nox emitted from motor vehicles by approximately 25%.

How to Improve Energy Efficiency in
Transportation?
August 2005
•
Increasing average new vehicle fuel economy standards
from the present 23 miles/gal to 40 mile/gal will save the
equivalent of 11% of the gasoline consumption (about 106
million barrel of crude oil year).
•
Adding 10-15% ethanol to gasoline will reduce gasoline
consumption by another 10% ( about 96 million barrel of
crude oil year).
•
Improving vehicle aerodynamics and/or replacing tires
with low rolling resistance tires with proper tire pressure
can cut fuel consumption by few percentages.

How to Improve Energy Efficiency in
transportation? (cont.)
August 2005
•
Further reduction by 5-20% of gasoline consumption (i.e.
about 48-192 million barrel of crude oil year) is possible If
we reduce rush hours and traffic bottlenecks (wasting
fuel).
•
Reducing mileage traveled by 10-15%. Annual Mileage
driven by family is >21,000/year. Telecommuting and
internet shopping can reduce this.
•
Improving public transportation in cities.
•
Bringing back an efficient and speedy railway system.

How to Improve Energy Efficiency in
Building Industry?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
August 2005
Improving building codes as it relates to energy efficiency,
example building insulation and ventilation.
Reducing solar gain and heat escape by replacing old
windows with newer windows.
Replacement of heating system with high efficiency gas
furnaces.
Introducing district heating in high density commercial and
business buildings.
Increasing the efficiency of air-conditioning units by 30%.
Use energy management systems to monitor, shutdown
unnecessary loads and optimize energy consumption.
Changing from incandescent lighting to compact
fluorescent lamps will save the equivalent energy of ¼ ton
of coal over the lifetime of the lamp (20,000h).

How to Improve Energy Efficiency in
Industry?
– Recovery of waste energy.
– Improved industrial processes and process control,
especially in energy intensive industries like smelting,
metal, oil refining.
– High efficiency combustion.

Integrating wind Power into the
Energy Mix
•
•
Today, Wind energy (non
polluting) is economically
competitive in terms of
installation and production
costs to other traditional
sources of energy.
This is not the case for
Photovoltaic Solar (c8) or
hydrogen( c40).

Finally

•
August 2005
Energy Efficiency/ Conservation is the best option to satisfy US
energy needs for the short term, until other sources of energy
become available and economically viable.
25% energy savings is achievable with the present technology at
cheaper cost than prospecting for or adding new energy sources.
25% energy saving will not reduce the US standard of living or
comfort.
It reduces environmental emissions especially greenhouse gases
that can cause climatic changes.
It reduces the US reliance on foreign energy imports and reduces
concern with respect to the issue of security of energy supply.
It reduces the deficit in the trade balance of the US
Energy efficiency products, equipment, materials and retrofitting
will create business, job and export opportunities.
