BNEF: Oil price plunge to have only moderate impact on low-carbon electricity development, but likely to slow EV growth

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 22, 2014

The collapse in world oil prices in the second half of 2014 will have only a moderate impact on the fast-developing low-carbon transition in the world electricity system, according to research firm Bloomberg New Energy Finance. However, the slump in the Brent crude price per barrel from $112.36 on 30 June to $61.60

3 Years Of Painful Cuts Sets Oil Markets Up For Serious Supply Crunch

Green Car Congress

JUNE 1, 2016

A sharp rise in oil prices would spur new investment and new drilling. The price acts as a self-correcting mechanism. The problem is that, unlike many other industries, resource extraction is extremely volatile, with supply responses very delayed. When oil prices go up, people buy fuel efficient cars.

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.
