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. PEVs will continue to be more expensive to manufacture and purchase than conventional and hybrid vehicles.
