#DidYouKnow: Binary cycle power plants transfer heat from #geothermal hot water to a secondary liquid with a lower boiling point. They then use the resulting steam to drive a generator turbine. Learn more about geothermal energy on #Energy Explained! https://go.usa.gov/xAcBw
EIA expects #carbondioxide emissions in 2020 to fall by 19% for #coal, by 13% for #petroleum, and by 2% for #naturalgas, largely because of the economic and behavioral effects the #COVID19 pandemic has had on energy consumption. http://go.usa.gov/xAq3Z #CO2
EIA expects #HenryHub spot prices to reach a monthly average of $3.10/MMBtu in January 2021, down from the forecast January average price of $3.42/MMBtu in last month's Short-Term Energy Outlook. http://go.usa.gov/xGBjR #STEO
U.S. end-use #electricity totaled 13 quadrillion British thermal units, a 1% decrease from 2018. Top consuming states:
1⃣ Texas (1,465 trillion Btu),
2⃣ California (854 trillion Btu),
3⃣ https://go.usa.gov/xA43S.
California’s grid operators use #naturalgas and, to a lesser extent, #hydroelectricity and electricity imports from neighboring areas to balance changes in #electricity demand. http://go.usa.gov/xAcWc
From our inbox: What are EIA’s projections for U.S. commercial sector #electricity usage in 2021?
