quadrillion Btu in 2035, as a result of fuel economy improvements achieved through stock turnover as older, less efficient vehicles are replaced by newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles. Beyond 2035, LDV energy demand begins to level off as increases in travel demand begin to exceed fuel economy improvements in the vehicle stock.

Transport GHG emissions in the “No New Policies” case (NNP) and the “Lowest” case (L). Achieving the Lowest Emissions case would require government spending of at least 2% of EU27 GDP. 95% in EU GHG emissions with respect to year-1990 levels by 2050. The horizontal lines indicate 60% reduction from year-1990 levels.

Normalized well-to-wake GHG emissions for low-, baseline- and high-emission cases for jet fuel pathways under different land use change scenarios. The focus of the work was on alternative jet fuels that could be available commercially in the next decade using primarily North American resources. From Hileman et al.

The underlying assumption is that the world will immediately use whatever oil can be pumped from the ground, and that supply is independent of demand—that is, oil exploration investments bear no relation to the current oil price or expectations of future demand.

This means our economic stability is at stake because of our reliance on oil. In fact, four of the last five recessions were started by an oil price spike. [ 2 ] Furthermore, our environment cannot continue to bear the brunt of carbon emissions stemming from our heavy use of oil.

Any benefits from investment in alternative fuels by the US Department of Defense will accrue to the nation as a whole rather than to mission-specific needs of the military, the researchers concluded. From the perspective of technical viability, a number of alternative fuels can meet this requirement.

Generally, any alternative energy form that can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and limit our reliance on fossil fuels is well-received. Biofuels are generally accepted to improve net carbon output, even when local air pollution from the production of biodiesel is taken into account.

Without a bold change of policy direction, the IEA warned at the launch, the world will lock itself into an insecure, inefficient and high-carbon energy system. Subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption of fossil fuels jumped to over $400 billion. By contrast, subsidies for fossil fuels amounted to $409 billion in 2010.
