Table 4. Projected Energy Savings and Carbon Emissions Reductions from the CCTI
Tax Incentive for
Energy-Efficient Building Equipment, 1998, 2005, 2010, and 2020
| Projection | 1998 Total | 2005 Savings | 2010 Savingsa | 2020 Savings |
| Primary Energy (Trillion Btu) | 34,149 | 6.55 | 5.86 | 4.10 |
| Energy Bill (Million 1998 Dollars) | 227,922 | 45.4 | 41.4 | 32.0 |
| Carbon Emissions (Million Metric Tons) | 521.0 | 0.14 | 0.09 | 0.08 |
| aBy 2010, some of the energy-efficient equipment purchased due to the tax credits needs replacement and is replaced with
less efficient equipment, reducing the impact of the credits later in the forecast. Source: Energy Information Administration, National Energy Modeling System runs BASE.D022800A and EQPTAX.D022800B. | ||||
