. … Given the current barriers to increasing ethanol-based biofuels (blend wall, slow growth in cellulosic biofuel production, regulatory uncertainty surrounding the RFS), transportation electrification seemingly offers a more immediate opportunity to displace gasoline. They based their low electrification scenario (0.3%

This process will repurpose carbon dioxide for use as a liquid fuel that can be readily used as a high octane gasoline substitute. The team anticipates at least a twofold productivity improvement over current levels and a cost that can be competitive with gasoline. Ohio State Univ. A123 Systems, Rutgers University).

Plug-In Hybrids Are Cleaner (Even on a Coal Grid) [ to top ] This entire section is finally obsolete -- because we now have a definitive study by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Three more points: Both reports match up well with previous studies. The GREET 1.6

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. How about a car-mounted wind-generator?
