Note: Growth rates are compound annual growth rates for 2010 to 2019, 2020 to 2024, and 2024 to 2026. We use product supplied to estimate consumption.

U.S. jet fuel consumption growth has slowed in 2025, following a period of rapid consumption growth after 2020, as U.S. air travel recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. We forecast the slowdown in jet fuel consumption growth will continue through 2026, falling below both the accelerated rate of the previous four years and the longer-term growth rate seen during the 2010s. Contributing factors include rising economic concerns weighing on flight demand and ongoing improvements in commercial aircraft fleet fuel economy.

In 2020, annual average U.S. jet fuel consumption fell nearly 40% when efforts

Deep beneath southern China, JUNO has launched one of the most ambitious neutrino experiments in history. With its massive 20,000-ton liquid scintillator detector now operational, it’s poised to answer one of particle physics’ greatest mysteries: the true ordering of neutrino masses. Built over more than a decade and involving hundreds of scientists worldwide, JUNO not only promises to resolve questions about the building blocks of matter but also to open entirely new frontiers—from exploring signals of supernovae to hunting for evidence of exotic physics.

The Carbon Credit Assessment Framework aims to develop a computational environment that integrates environmental and economic perspectives to support the analysis of alternative technological pathways in offshore production. The project focuses on the conceptual modeling of offshore production chains, the elicitation of environmental parameters, and the development of tools for quantitatively assessing GHG emissions. These tools will be integrated with economic risk assessments (carried out by other team members) to support decision-making and the adoption of efficient emission reduction strategies.

Development of a conceptual description of offshore production chains through knowledge representation techniques, focusing on environmental parameters. Development of mathematical tools for quantitative assessment of GHG emissions along the production chains. Conducting and supporting the implementation of case studies to test and evaluate the developed systems. Support in supervising the Technical Training scholarship holders responsible for system development.

In-brief analysis

August 25, 2025

We forecast natural gas consumption in the United States will increase 1% to set a record of 91.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2025. In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we expect natural gas consumption to increase across all sectors except for electric power, which had been the source of most natural gas consumption growth in the previous decade.

Natural gas consumption was high in the beginning of the year, driving our forecast. In January, U.S. natural gas consumption was a record 126.8 Bcf/d, 5% more than the previous record set in January 2024, according to data in our Natural Gas Monthly.

In February 2025, U.S. natural gas consumption was 115.9 Bcf/d, 5% more than the previous February consumption record set in 2021. Natural gas consumption in these winter
