Obama sets goal of reducing US oil imports by 1/3 by 2025; domestic and Western Hemisphere production, natural gas, biofuels, electric vehicles, fleet purchases

Green Car Congress

MARCH 30, 2011

Meeting the goal of cutting US oil dependence depends largely on two things, Obama said: finding and producing more oil at home, and reducing dependence on oil with cleaner alternative fuels and greater efficiency. If anyone doubts the potential of these fuels, consider Brazil. —President Obama.

Results of the simulations indicated that: By 2040, hybrids (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs); and turbocharged SI (spark ignited) vehicles make up more than 50% of the in-use fleet. Relaxing the MON requirement gives refineries more processing flexibility, allowing them to produce more high-octane fuel. —Chow et al.

NOVEMBER 13, 2011

Alternative technologies, such as hybrid and electric vehicles that use oil more efficiently or not at all, continue to advance but they take time to penetrate markets. Where the alternative fuel cannot be used directly in existing oil distribution networks and applications, it requires the build-up of a dedicated infrastructure.
