High oil prices, a global economic rebound, and new laws and mandates in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, and the United States, among other countries, are all factors behind the surge in production, according to research conducted by the Worldwatch Institute’s Climate and Energy Program for the website Vital Signs Online.

DECEMBER 19, 2010

The energy- and water-intensive nature of both coal-to-liquids and oil shale, combined with technological uncertainties and state and federal requirements for low carbon fuels spell diminishing returns for investors. < Market Risks : The economic competitiveness of oil shale and CTL is contingent on high oil prices.

OCTOBER 4, 2011

In 2005, Congress enacted the Renewable Fuel Standard as part of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) and amended it in the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA). Currently, no commercially viable biorefineries exist for converting cellulosic biomass to fuel.

At this point, however, it is not clear what sorts of breakthroughs might become commercially viable. The cost to manufacture these vehicles is expected to decline by about one-third by 2020 but only slowly thereafter. It is possible that breakthroughs in battery technology will greatly lower the cost.

Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oil price spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. The most conspicuous example of an overlapping policy, according to the report, is the national Renewable Fuel Standard, most recently updated in 2007 (RFS2).
