The strongest cuts in emissions per capita should happen in North America and Europe.

CO2 emissions per capita are expected to significantly decrease in all regions. In our EnerBlue scenario, they get down to below 2 tCO2/capita in most regions.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the US gas production increased by 4% in 2023, thanks to a higher output in the three largest producing regions of Appalachia, Permian, and Haynesville, which jointly accounted for 59% of all natural gas production in the United States. The Appalachia region accounted for 29% of domestic gas production but its output growth slowed down in 2023 due to insufficient pipeline capacity to serve demand markets (no new major pipeline capacity addition in 2023). The Permian region accounted for 19% of domestic production and its gas production grew by 13% in a context of high oil prices boosting oil and associated gas production. Finally, the Haynesville region accounted for 13% of domestic production, with a slower production growth owing to low natural gas prices. The EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook expects a modest production contraction in 2024, due to low natural gas prices and a relatively stable rig count.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released the Atlantic Offshore Wind Transmission Study, a two-year study evaluating transmission options to support offshore wind energy deployment along the Atlantic Coast of the United States. The study was based on deploying 85 GW of offshore wind off the Atlantic Coast by 2050, and it analysed various potential scenarios for offshore transmission considering the costs and benefits of each pathway, providing a multi-regional planning perspective.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has published its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) in which it expects that the US power consumption will rise by 2.5% in 2024 and by 0.7% in 2025. The forecasted levels compare to those seen in 2023, when power demand reached 4,000 TWh and the last record high power consumption level was of 4,003 TWh in 2018. The EIA also expects 2024 power sales to rise by 3.8% for residential consumers, by 1.5% for commercial customers and by 1.7% for industrial customers.

The Chinese state-owned oil and gas company CNOOC has announced a net production target for 2024 of 700 to 720 million barrels of oil equivalent (mboe), of which production from China will account for 69% and production from overseas 31%. This represents an 8-9% increased compared to the company’s production target for 2023 (650-660 mboe), which was exceeded, as CNOOC estimates net production to be approximately 675 mboe for 2023. In addition, CNOOC announced a net production target of 780-800 mboe for 2025 and 810-830 mboe for 2026.
