EIA: Permian region expected to drive US crude oil production growth through 2019

Green Car Congress

The forecast growth is driven by the ramping up of 2 new fields that started producing in 2017, the anticipation of 10 new fields starting up in 2018, and 6 new fields coming online in 2019. The recent production growth in the Bakken has been supported by the removal of pipeline capacity constraints that affected the region before 2017.

Study projects emission impacts of inexpensive, efficient EVs: 36% further reduction in LDV GHG by 2050, or 9% economy-wide

Green Car Congress

In the OPT scenario, estimated well-to-wheels GHG emissions from full-size BEVs with 100-mile range are 62 gCO 2 -e mi –1 in 2050, while those from full-size ICEVs are 121 gCO 2 -e mi –1. In the OPT scenario BEVs gain a LDV market share of about 15%—all from 100-mile range EVs (BEV100) by 2030. —Keshavarzmohammadian et al.
