eia.gov U.S. Energy Information Administration Independent Statistics energy- related carbon dioxide emissions fall further before leveling off or rising. Renewable energy incentives and falling technology costs support robust competition with natural gas as coal and nuclear power decrease in the electricity mix. Continuing record-high domestic energy production supports natural gas exports but does not necessarily mean growth in the U.S. trade balance in petroleum products. AEO2021 Press Release February 3, 2021 4AEO2021 examines a range of conditions from 2020 to 2050 Assumptions Current laws and regulations as of September 2020 remain unchanged Current views on economic and demographic trends, and technology improvements Compound annual growth rate for real U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is 2.1% (Reference case) High Economic Growth case (2.6%) and Low Economic Growth case (1.6%) The Brent crude oil price by 2050 is $95 per barrel (b) in constant 2020 dollars (Reference case) High Oil Price case ($173/b) and Low Oil Price case ($48/b) Oil and natural gas supply cases High: more accessible resources and lower extraction technology costs than the Reference case Low: fewer accessible resources and higher extraction technology costs than the Reference case Renewables cost cases High: no cost reductions in renewable technologies Low: renewables achieve 40% lower overnight capital costs by 2050 compared to Reference case AEO2021 Press Release February 3, 2021 5AEO2021 cases vary technical and macroeconomic assumptions AEO2021 Press Release February 3, 2021 6 Low Economic Growth case Low Oil Price case Low Oil and Gas Supply case Low Renewables Cost case Reference case High Economic Growth case High Oil Price case High Oil and Gas Supply case High Renewables Cost case Higher Lower Expected Current laws and regulations as of September 2020 Potential new laws Technical and macroeconomic assumptions Policy assumptions Note: EPAs Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule (84 FR 32520) was vacated after AEO2021 case were run. See AEO2021 Narrative for more discussionAEO2021 Highlights A return to 2019 levels of U.S. energy consumption will take years; energy- related carbon dioxide emissions fall further before leveling off or rising. Renewable energy incentives and falling technology costs support robust competition with natural gas as coal and nuclear power decrease in the electricity mix. Continuing record-high domestic energy production supports natural gas exports but does not necessarily mean growth in the U.S. trade balance in petroleum products.
