According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, the total annual energy used in this country is 92.94 Quad (1 Quad = 1015 Btu) and our current energy mix is 35% petroleum, 34% natural gas, 12% renewable energy, 10% coal, and 9% nuclear power. The carbon intensity of each fuel is listed below. If all of the coal production was shifted to natural gas, what would the average carbon intensity be? gC/MJ 20 petroleum natural gas renewable 15.3 energy coal 25.8 nuclear
