Summary of Relative Subsector-Level Vulnerability under the American Power Act

The analysis indicates that while most subsectors face modest direct compliance and energy purchase costs under the American Power Act, vulnerability varies based on feedstock dependence. Subsectors relying on natural gas-derived raw materials face higher cost risks due to projected price increases, whereas those relying on petroleum, coal, and electricity-derived materials face limited risk as prices are projected to be lower compared to a no-policy scenario.

• Most subsectors are expected to experience only modest costs regarding direct energy purchases and compliance under the EIA scenarios and projections.
• The level of energy-related cost risk for subsectors is heavily influenced by the type of raw materials used in their feedstocks; those dependent on natural gas-derived materials face higher risks because natural gas prices are projected to rise relative to a no-policy scenario.
• Subsectors utilizing raw materials derived from electricity, coal, or petroleum face limited energy-related cost risk, as the prices for these inputs are generally projected to be lower than in a no-policy scenario.
