Gasoline section shows results for fuel derived from both conventional oil and oil sands. The study also highlights that upstream CH 4 (methane) leakage and venting is a key contributor to the total upstream emissions of natural gas pathways, and can significantly reduce the life-cycle benefit of natural gas compared to coal or petroleum.

The Japanese government certainly plays a large role here and has been advocating for hydrogen power for years — much, in the same way, China, Europe, and (to a lesser extent) the United States have been pushing all-electric vehicles.

Transportation sector gasoline demand declines. Among its many findings, the Reference case suggests that US primary energy consumption will grow by 7% from 2011 to 2040 to 108 quadrillion Btu. However, energy use per capita declines by 15% from 2011 through 2040 as a result of improving energy efficiency (e.g.,

The growth reflects an expected 90% increase in electricity use, led by developing countries where 1.3 billion people are currently without access to electricity. Over the same period, electric and plug-in vehicles are expected to grow to about 70 million cars, or less than 5 percent of the total fleet. Transportation.
