Responses to Congressional/Other Requests
Analysis of Senate Amendment 2028, the Climate Stewardship Act of 2003 - (06/07/04) - HTML, PDF
Requestor: Senator Mary Landrieu
In June 2003, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) released an analysis of the Climate Stewardship Act of 2003 (S.139) as introduced by Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman in January 2003. S.139 would establish a cap on emissions of greenhouse gases from covered sources that would be implemented in two phases beginning in 2010 and 2016, respectively. More recently, in October 2003, Senators McCain and Lieberman proposed an amended version of the bill, SA.2028, that included the first phase of emissions reductions beginning in 2010 but removed references to a second phase of reductions beginning in 2016. On May 11, 2004, Senator Mary Landrieu asked EIA to evaluate SA.2028. This paper responds to that request, relying on the modeling methodology, data sources, and assumptions used to analyze the original bill, as extensively documented in EIA’s June 2003 report.
Analysis of S. 1844, the Clear Skies Act of 2003; S. 843, the Clean Air Planning Act of 2003; and S. 366, the Clean Power Act of 2003 - (05/14/2004) - HTML, PDF
Requestor: Senator James M. Inhofe, Chairman, Committee on Environment and Public Works
This report responds to a request from Senator James Inhofe received by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) on March 19, 2004. Senator Inhofe requested that the EIA analyze the impacts of S. 1844, the Clear Skies Act of 2003, S. 843, the Clean Air Planning Act of 2003, and S. 366, the Clean Power Act of 2003. The report analyzes the impacts of limits on nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, mercury and carbon dioxide emissions (for S. 843 and S. 366) from electricity generators. It reports the projected impacts on electricity generation by fuel, emissions, capacity expansion, prices, and industry costs.
Analysis of Oil and Gas Production in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - (03/16 /04) - HTML, PDF
Requestor: Representative Richard Pombo, Chairman, Committee on Resources
This report responds to a request from Congressman Richard Pombo received on February 23, 2004 to analyze the impact on future oil imports and expenditures
of opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to petroleum development.
High, low, and mean ANWR oil resource cases are compared to
the Annual Energy Outlook 2004 reference case. The study also examines
whether potential synergies exist in opening ANWR to petroleum development
and the construction of an Alaska gas pipeline from the North Slope to
the lower 48-States.
Analysis of Restricted Natural Gas Supply Cases - (03/01/04) - HTML, PDF
Requestor: Representative Barbara Cubin, Chairman, Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources
This report responds to a request from Senator Barbara Cubin received on February 3, 2004 to provide an assessment of three low natural gas supply scenarios. To address this request, the Energy Information Administration modeled four cases: no increased availability of Alaska natural gas, no significant increase in nonconventional gas production, a limited number of new LNG facilities, and a case that combined the above three items. The four cases examined in this study have progressively greater impacts
on overall natural gas consumption, prices, and supply. When compared to the
Annual Energy Outlook 2004 reference case, the no increased availability of Alaska natural gas
has the least impact; the low liquefied natural gas case has more impact;
the low nonconventional gas recovery case has even more impact; and the
combined case has the most impact.
Summary Impacts of Modeled Provisions of the 2003 Conference Energy Bill - (02/19/04) - HTML, PDF
Requestor: Senator John Sununu

Senator John Sununu on February 2, 2004 to perform an assessment of the Conference Energy
Bill (CEB) of 2003. This report summarizes the CEB provisions that can be modeled
using the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) and have the potential
to affect energy consumption, supply, and prices. The impacts are estimated
by comparing the projections based on CEB provisions with the AEO2004 reference
case.
Analysis of Five Selected Tax Provisions of the Conference Energy Bill of 2003 -(02/13/04) - HTML, PDF
Requestor: Senator John Sununu
This report responds to a request received from
Senator John Sununu on January 29, 2004 to perform an assessment of five specific tax provisions
of the Conference Energy Bill of 2003. He requested that five
tax provisions be assessed with regard to incremental energy production,
change in petroleum imports, and tax revenue losses. The tax provisions
were Section 45 credits for electricity produced from certain sources,
the credit for electricity produced from advanced nuclear facilities,
amortization of geological and geophysical expenditures over two years,
extension and modification of Section 29 for producing fuels from nonconventional
sources, and enhanced oil recovery tax credits.

Portfolio Standard, Renewable Fuels Standard, production in the Alaskan
National Wildlife Refuge, the construction of an Alaskan Natural Gas pipeline,
and various tax provisions.

impacts of limits on nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, mercury, and carbon
dioxide emissions (for S. 843) from electricity generators. As requested
by Senator Inhofe, for S. 485, analysis is included with and without the
mercury provisions and, for S. 843, analysis is included with and without
the mercury and carbon dioxide provisions.
Analysis of S.139, the Climate Stewardship Act of 2003
Highlights/Summary Section - (06/27/2003) - PDF
Full Report - (07/03/2003) - PDF
Requestor: Senators James M. Inhofe, Chairman, Commmittee on Environment and Public Works, John McCain, and Joseph I. Lieberman
On January 9, 2003, Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman introduced
S.139, the Climate Stewardship Act of 2003 (S.139), in the U.S. Senate.
This report responds to a request from Senator James Inhofe, received on January 28, 2003, and Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman, received on April 2, 2003, to analyze the impact of S.139. S.139 would establish regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions primarily
through an emission allowance program and related emissions reporting
requirements. The emissions allowance program would apply to most greenhouse
gas emissions sources, the exceptions being the emissions from the residential
and agriculture sectors, as well as emissions from organizational entities
whose annual emissions are less than a certain threshold.
