U.S. primary energy production, consumption, and exports increased in 2024
The United States continued to produce more energy than it consumed in 2024. This surplus energy production helped energy exports grow to a record high 30.9 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2024, up 4% from 2023. Energy imports stayed flat at 21.7 quads in 2024, meaning the United States exported 9.3 quads more energy than it imported, the highest net exports in our records, which date back to 1949.
The Path to Unleaded Avgas: A Critical Transition for Aviation – Fall 2024 Update
Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) Fall 2024 Update The aviation community has long recognized the need to eliminate lead emissions from piston-engine aircraft, a goal set to be achieved by the end of 2030 through the leadership of the Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) initiative. This ambitious endeavor brings together government and industry partners committed to finding a safe and reliable unleaded aviation fuel that is viable throughout the aviation supply chain. As the general aviation community works toward this goal, the role of aircraft owners cannot be overstated. They are, after all, the ultimate end-users of any
Early Release of 2024 Power Plant Operations Report Data
(Mon, 16 Jun 2025) This web page contains spreadsheets with early release 2024 data on electricity generation, fuel consumption, fossil fuel stocks, fuel receipts, and environmental operations data from the 2024 Form EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report.
U.S. natural gas storage capacity increased in 2024
Underground working natural gas storage capacity in the Lower 48 states increased in 2024 according to our latest data. We calculate natural gas storage capacity in two ways: demonstrated peak capacity and working gas design capacity. Both increased in 2024. Underground natural gas storage provides a source of energy when demand increases, balancing U.S. energy needs. In 2024, demonstrated peak capacity rose 1.7%, or 70 billion cubic feet (Bcf), to 4,277 Bcf, while working gas design capacity increased slightly by 0.1%, or 3 Bcf.
Early Release of 2024 Annual Electric Generator Report Data
(Wed, 11 Jun 2025) This early release includes individual plant and generator data. However, we have not fully edited the data, and so these data are inappropriate for aggregation, such as to state or national totals. We have withheld some data from this early release pending further validation. We will release final 2024 data in September.
Financial Review – Upstream: 2024
(Wed, 11 Jun 2025) We published our 2024 Annual Financial Review Upstream report. This analysis focuses on financial and operating trends on an annual basis for 158 global oil and natural gas upstream companies from 2015 to 2024.
Electric generators plan more natural gas-fired capacity after few additions in 2024
Developers plan to add 18.7 gigawatts (GW) of combined-cycle capacity to the grid by 2028, with 4.3 GW already under construction, according to our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory. Although electricity generators fueled by natural gas have provided more electricity in the United States than any other source since 2016, hardly any new natural gas capacity came online last year.
In 2024, the United States produced more energy than ever before
In 2024, the United States produced a record amount of energy, according to data in our Monthly Energy Review. U.S. total energy production was more than 103 quadrillion British thermal units in 2024, a 1% increase from the previous record set in 2023. Several energy sources—natural gas, crude oil, natural gas plant liquids, biofuels, solar, and wind—each set domestic production records last year.
U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2024
(Thu, 29 May 2025) According to our recently released report on 2024 energy-related CO2 emissions, U.S. CO2 emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels totaled 4,772 million metric tons (MMmt) in 2024, a decrease of less than 1% (23 MMmt) from 2023. Although changes from all sectors were relatively minor, the most notable changes occurred in the residential sector, associated with decreased heating fuel use, and the industrial sector, associated with decreased industrial activity. We based our analysis on preliminary 2024 data from our Monthly Energy Review.
U.S. energy flow and energy consumption by source and sector charts for 2024
(Wed, 30 Apr 2025) Five energy flow diagrams with data for 2024 show U.S. production and consumption of total energy, petroleum, natural gas, coal, and electricity. Five charts with U.S. energy consumption by source and sector show the distribution, by both energy source and sector, of total energy, petroleum products, fossil fuels, renewable energy, and CO2 emissions in 2024.
