18 18 Scenarios Examined by EIA to Assess Impact of Climate Change Initiatives on U.S. Natural Gas Markets Reference Case = EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2007 S. 280 Core Case = Provisions implemented under the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007 RefNB = Reference Nuclear and Biomass Case. Holds nuclear and biomass to their reference case level through 2030 RefNB+noCCS = Reference Nuclear and Biomass plus no Carbon Capture and Sequestration Case. Adds the limitation that coal with CCS cannot be deployed before 2030 RefNBLNG+noCCS = Attempts to simulate a price scenario that assumes an OPEC-like natural gas cartel. In addition to the generation technology restrictions in the RefNB+noCCS case, LNG imports are held at the reference case level

20 20 Industrial sector accounts for largest percentage of total U.S. natural gas consumption. Business operations of industrial sector consumers are sensitive to large, sustained swings in the price of natural gas. Annual average price to industrial consumers was $3.59/MMCF in 1997 and $7.88/MMCF in 2006 (nominal).

23 23 The Puzzle: Industrial Natural Gas Demand not Correlated with Industrial Production Index

24 24 Conclusions High level of uncertainty regarding gas use in the power generation and industrial sectors In last 10 years, U.S. industrial gas consumption has declined despite growth in output Policy measures designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could have a significant impact on U.S. gas consumption — gas use could be as low as 24 tcf or as high as 30 tcf in 2030.
