Annual increases in HGLs production since 2008 have contributed to lower HGLs prices and to increased U.S. hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGLs) production. Annual NGPLs production has generally increased since 2005, coinciding with increases in natural gas production, and reached a record high of nearly 5.40 million barrels per day in 2021. Natural gas plant liquids (NGPLs) are extracted from natural gas before the natural gas is put into pipelines for transmission to consumers. petroleum demand decreased in 20 largely as a result of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which contributed to declined in U.S. More cost-effective drilling and production technologies helped to drive annual production increases in 2017 through 2019, especially in Texas and North Dakota. crude oil production reached a record high of 12.29 million barrels per day. In 2009, the trend reversed and production began to rise, and in 2019, U.S. The production increases generally contributed to a decline in natural gas prices through 2020, which in turn contributed to increases in natural gas use by the electric power and industrial sectors.Īnnual crude oil production generally decreased between 19. More efficient drilling and production techniques have resulted in increases in natural gas production from shale and tight geologic formations. annual natural gas consumption in both volume and heat content since 2017.
annual dry natural gas production has exceeded U.S. Natural gas consumption in 2021 was about 82.97 Bcf/day, equal to 31.34 quads and about 32% of total U.S. Natural gas production (dry gas) reached a record high of 34.15 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) or 93.57 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/day) in 2021. Coal production in 2021 was 578 million short tons and equal to about 11.62 quads. In 2021, coal consumption was about 546 million short tons, equal to about 10.55 quads and about 11% of U.S. The energy content of total annual coal consumption and production generally declined since those years because of decreases in demand for coal, and because of increases in the share of lower heat content coal use by the electric power sector. coal consumption peaked in 2005 at about 22.80 quads and production peaked in 1998 at about 24.0 quads. In terms of the total energy content of coal, annual U.S. Both declined in nearly every year since those peak years mainly because of less U.S. energy mix for more than 100 years, but the mix has changed over time.Ĭoal consumption in the United States peaked in 2007 at about 1.13 billion short tons and coal production peaked in 2008 at about 1.17 billion short tons. energy consumption and production has changed over timeįossil fuels have dominated the U.S. The chart below shows the types and amounts of primary energy sources consumed in the United States, the amounts of primary energy used by the electric power sector and the energy end-use sectors, and the retail sales of electricity by the electric power sector to the energy end-use sectors.Ĭlick to enlarge The mix of U.S.
For example, in 2021, petroleum provided approximately 90% of the transportation sector's energy consumption, but only 1% of the electric power sector's primary energy use. The sources of energy used by each sector vary widely. Total energy consumption by the end-use sectors includes their primary energy use, purchased electricity, and electrical system energy losses ( energy conversion and other losses associated with the generation, transmission, and distribution of purchased electricity) and other energy losses.

Primary energy use plus the energy content of electricity purchased from the electric power sector by each end-use sector in 2021 was:.The transportation, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors are called end-use sectors because they consume primary energy and electricity produced by the electric power sector. utility-scale electricity generation, nearly all of which was sold to the other sectors. In 2021, the electric power sector accounted for about 96% of total U.S. There are five energy-use sectors, and the amounts-in quadrillion Btu (or quads)-of their primary energy consumption in 2021 were:.Energy Information Administration, Monthly Energy Review, Table 1.3 and 10.1, April 2022, preliminary data Note: Sum of components may not equal 100% because of independent rounding. primary energy consumption by energy source, 2021 total = 97.33 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) total = 12.16 quadrillion Btu 2% - geothermal 12% - solar 27% - wind 4% - biomass waste 19% - biofuels 17% - wood 19% - hydroelectric biomass 40% renewable energy 12% natural gas 32% petroleum 36% nuclear electric power 8% coal 11% Data source: U.S.
