Our findings are significant for the future biofuel industry, and the ultimate goal is to make poplar coppice biofuel a step closer to the pump. Alternative fuels must make economic sense, the researchers stress, for biofuels to make a dent in the petroleum-driven market. Chang Dou/University of Washington. Click to enlarge.

Production of commercial quantities of HRJ depends on the availability of appropriate feedstocks at competitive prices. Other key findings from the report include: Alternative-fuel production benefits commercial aviation regardless of its use in aviation. Alternative jet fuels will have a limited impact on fuel price volatility.

Current lessons will not only help Toyota but the industry as a whole. Customers should find assurance that other industries, such as the aerospace industry, have made a similar transition and today’s modern planes have replaced mechanical aircraft controls with full electronic controls).

The underlying assumption is that the world will immediately use whatever oil can be pumped from the ground, and that supply is independent of demand—that is, oil exploration investments bear no relation to the current oil price or expectations of future demand. Emissions Forecasts Fuels Oil'

The report defines bio-based materials as industrial products made from renewable agricultural and forestry feedstocks, which can include wood, grasses, and crops, as well as wastes and residues. These materials may replace fabrics, adhesives, reinforcement fibers, polymers, and other, more conventional, materials.

The California LCFS calls for at least a 10% reduction from 2006 levels in the carbon intensity (measured in gCO 2 e/MJ) of California’s transportation fuels by 2020. The regulation also levies the calculation of Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) effects against biofuels, against the opposition of the biofuels industry.( Earlier post.).

The DOE-QTR defines six key strategies: increase vehicle efficiency; electrification of the light duty fleet; deploy alternative fuels; increase building and industrial efficiency; modernize the electrical grid; and deploy clean electricity. Impartial DOE research can help inform these standards. —QTR.

Any benefits from investment in alternative fuels by the US Department of Defense will accrue to the nation as a whole rather than to mission-specific needs of the military, the researchers concluded. From the perspective of technical viability, a number of alternative fuels can meet this requirement.

Questions for the industry, Kurani said, include how do we get from where households currently are to where PHEVs provide the most benefit? That could yield more than 50 mpg of fuel economy—or usage of less than 300 gallons per year—and still be a lot cheaper than a plug-in hybrid or a fuel cell vehicle, he noted.

The investment is so far the largest single investment by a US airline in alternative fuels. This alternative fuel will be a drop-in fuel that meets all of the airline’s technical requirements and specifications, and will power the aircraft in the same way as conventional jet fuel. Earlier post.)

The 450 Scenario works back from the international goal of limiting the long-term increase in the global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius (2 °C) above pre-industrial levels, in order to trace a plausible pathway to that goal. By contrast, subsidies for fossil fuels amounted to $409 billion in 2010. Click to enlarge.

Building on LCFS policies already adopted in Europe, British Columbia, and California, the researchers looked at potential costs and benefits of reducing the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 10 to 15 percent by 2030. Increase use of alternative fuel blends in gasoline and diesel. —Policy Design Recommendations.

Demand for oil in developed countries—currently 54 percent of all oil demand—has passed its peak, the latest research suggests. Tags: Green credentials demand IHS CERA OECD Oil report.
