Achieving those goals will will be difficult—but not impossible to meet—and will necessitate a combination of more efficient vehicles; the use of alternative fuels such as biofuels, electricity, and hydrogen; and strong government policies to overcome high costs and influence consumer choices. —Douglas M.

Optimized internal combustion engines are the major contributor to the reduction of passenger car GHG emissions with significant improvements until 2020 and the subsequent penetration of more effective alternative technologies into the fleet. GHG abatement in road transport sector will cost approx. 34 Mton CO 2 e (WTW).

The plan covers issues such as job training and retraining for the new clean energy economy, and planning for new electricity generation, developing enhanced transmission and new distribution requirements. Because of this, the Roadmap includes several activities that promote alternative fuel transportation.

EIA’s AEO2015 shows that the advanced technologies are reshaping the US energy economy. Fuel economy standards and changing driver behavior keep motor gasoline consumption below recent levels through 2040 in the Reference case. quadrillion Btu in 2040, as increases in fuel economy more than offset increases in LDV travel.

It also reviews government policies in a number of OECD countries as well as a selection of non-OECD economies. Several factors are slowing the development of the market, especially of the more radical alternatives such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Alternative propulsion systems include hybrid and electric engines.

For example, the new IDTechEx report, “Electric Buses and Taxis 2011-2021” forecasts more than 91,000 hybrid electric buses being made in 2021. They will sell for up to 65% more than the price of conventional buses but still have lower total cost of ownership over life.

Given the median biofuels forecast of 13 billion gallons of gasoline equivalent (GGE) in 2050, it is necessary to place a high priority on electrification of the transportation sector, if large reductions are to be attained by 2050. The first is that the cost of batteries for larger vehicle sizes (i.e. Realistic case for PEVs.

Under the WEO 2011 central scenario, oil demand rises from 87 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2010 to 99 mb/d in 2035, with all the net growth coming from the transport sector in emerging economies. The passenger vehicle fleet doubles to almost 1.7 billion in 2035. While there is still time to act, the window of opportunity is closing.
