Consumers purchase energy in many forms. Sometimes energy goods are consumed directly, for instance, in the form of gasoline used to operate a vehicle, electricity to light a home, or natural gas to heat a home. At other times, the cost of energy is embodied in the prices of goods and services that consumers buy, say when purchasing an airline ticket or when buying online garden furniture made from plastic to be delivered by mail. Previous research has focused on quantifying the pass-through of the price of crude oil or the price of motor gasoline to U.S. inflation. Neither approach accounts for the fact that percent changes in refined product prices need not be proportionate to the percent change in the price of oil, that not all energy is derived from oil, and that the correlation of price shocks across energy markets is far from one. This paper develops a vector autoregressive model that quantifies the joint impact of shocks to several energy prices on headline and core CPI inflation. Our analysis confirms that focusing on gasoline price shocks alone will underestimate the inflationary pressures emanating from the energy sector, but not enough to overturn the conclusion that much of the observed increase in headline inflation in 2021 and 2022 reflected non-energy price shocks.

Natural gas is used primarily for electricity generation, fuel for vehicles and consumer applications like home heating. By far, the largest amounts of natural gas are devoted to fueling power plants. Today, natural gas fueled power plants generate 20 percent of the world's energy, as well as 1.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide. In the short-term, natural gas could be a good fuel for the United States to use as it transitions away from other fossil fuels like oil and coal. Natural gas and renewable energy sources could also complement one another.

A market research report for the natural gas sector in U.S. is presented from publisher U.S. Congressional Research Service, with topics including its imports and exports, household consumption and price increases.

A chart is presented that lists the imports, exports and consumption of gas as a fuel in Spain.

The article reports on the possibility of natural gas to be an ideal source of energy in the U.S. It notes that the potential benefits of natural gas were realized during the explosion of the drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico and the subsequent environmental disaster. However, such gas is said to be far from certain due to political conflicts arising from its use.

The article focuses on the economic outlook pertaining to the impact of the external and internal factors that would delay the economic recovery in Ukraine. It has been projected that the potential gas conflict and delay of International Monetary Fund's disbursement in emergency financing are some external factors considered for the delay in economic recovery. Moreover, the presidential election on January 17, 2010 has been projected put the country's risk profile in an indefinite condition.

The article informs that Europe has significant potential for increased utilization of cleaner burning and efficient automotive liquefied petroleum gas (autogas). The world's seven largest autogas markets account for a disproportionately high level of demand given their sizes. Collectively, Australia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, South Korea and Turkey account for more than 68% of global autogas demand. One of the key reasons for the high level of autogas use in these markets is the elevated degree of governmental support in the form of favorable tax incentives aimed at encouraging autogas use. The reasons for governments to encourage autogas use are well documented with emissions and efficiency gains from autogas comparing favorably with both petrol and diesel.

The article provides an overview of the natural gas industry in the U.S. Topics covered include the use of natural gas which is a nonrenewable fossil fuel as a chemical feedstock and as an energy source and the four major sectors of the industry including crude oil and natural gas production, natural gas processing and natural gas distribution.

The article discusses the risk factors with regard to the projections made by the Short-Term Energy and Winter Fuels Outlook (STEWFO) report on the heating fuel sector in U.S., which are weather considerations and energy prices. It outlines the percentage change in expenditures related to home heating, with expenditures on fuels including heating oil, natural gas and propane.

The article assesses the macroeconomic risk of Ukraine. The Ukrainian economy's export dependence on steel and reliance on gas imports from China make it more vulnerable to terms-of-trade shocks. It anticipates a modest growth for the Ukrainian economy in 2010. It expects gas import prices to post an average increase of 29%.

The article forecasts the oil market outlook of South Africa. Data shows that the oil prices of the country remained elevated in spite of the global equity market correction. It shows that Brent crude has averaged U.S.$66.04/bbl in 2007. This is considered to be priced into its 2008 forecast of $62.0/bbl. In the short term, the contract is believed to remain well bid.

The article presents a comment on the impact of biodiesel fuels on the global automobile industry. Biodiesel is becoming the mainstream alternative fuel of choice in Europe. Recently, the Norwegian oil company Statoil AS announced that the diesel sold at its Swedish fuel stations will be blended with 5% rapeseed-based biodiesel. The suit has been followed by the British government by withdrawing a subsidy for converting petrol cars to LPG.

Points out the British financial incentives for the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as an automobile fuel is set to end in 2004. Observation that LPG is the only realistic way to cut city center pollution and reduce emission levels; Need for the LPG industry to lobby for incentives renewal.
