International Petroleum Monthly (IPM) is the Energy Information Administration's primary report of recent international petroleum statistics, including estimates for oil demand, stocks, and imports.

Carbon Sequestration Benefits Model (CARBEN) - provides a rigorous and transparent framework for evaluating the economic and environmental benefits that carbon sequestration technology development can provide the United States under future scenarios in which U.S Greenhouse Gas emissions are constrained. CarBen provides a 50-year analysis horizon, which is long enough to capture the effects of population and economic growth on reference case emissions Using data from the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) along with published cost and supply curves for various greenhouse gas mitigation options, CarBen estimates the relative contributions from a number of technologies and/or sectors in “filling in the gaps.

MARKAL, an acronym for MARKet Allocation, is a dynamic model tailored by the input data to represent the evolution over a period of usually 40 to 50 years of a specific energy system at the national, regional, state or province, or community level. The model contains a database of several hundred processes, covering the whole life cycle for both energy and materials.

Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Analysis Model (from CMU) a tool for understanding environmental impacts of producing goods or services.

Tools for Environmental Analysis and Management (TEAM) software. TEAM will accommodate baseline and improved approaches to acid mine drainage (AMD) control and treatment, methane recovery and use, etc., into the overall life cycle assessment process of mining & resource use.

Integrated Environmental Control Model (IECM) a tool for calculating the performance, emissions, and cost of a fossil-fueled power plant.
