They analyzed the impact of the mandates on oil demand, CO 2 emissions, and economic welfare, and compare the results to an emission trading scenario that achieves identical emissions reductions.

Study Finds That CO2 Standards for Vehicles Can Reduce Price of Oil

A new study by the French institute Enerdata, commissioned by the European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E), suggests that the European CO 2 standards for new vehicles due to come into effect in 2012 will lead not only to a European savings on oil (mainly via lower oil import volumes) but also to slightly lower global oil prices.

BCG study finds conventional automotive technologies have high CO2 reduction potential at lower cost; stiff competition for electric cars

JUNE 15, 2011

Assuming the China government remains committed to EVs, BCG expects that these vehicles will represent 7% of new vehicle sales in 2020, supported by car buyers’ enthusiasm for the technology and the country’s high gasoline taxes. A combination of peak oil with incentives or lower battery costs could increase EV penetration by 6%.

Study Finds Government Mandates Superior to All Other Biofuels Policies, But Mixing With Subsidies Causes Adverse Effects; The Argument for a Direct CO2 Tax

For example, adding a biofuel subsidy with a consumption mandate fails to increase ethanol consumption but instead subsidizes oil consumption. A more effective policy would rely on specific taxes and subsidies targeted directly at achieving specific environmental, energy and agricultural policy goals, according to the study.

The idea that a wholesale switch to electric cars would automatically reduce CO2 emissions and dependence on oil is one of a number of myths dispelled by a major new report conducted on behalf of the Environmental Transport Association (ETA). CO2 emissions. measures: • Stringent CO2 standards for cars. Popularity.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2012

Two new reports—one on technology, the other on policy— released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) outline pathways to improve the fuel efficiency of combustion-engined road vehicles by 50% by the middle of the century, saving as much as four-fifths of current annual global oil consumption.
