The study estimated national fuel and emissions impacts from increasing reliance on electrified light-duty transportation, and the resulting implications for advanced biofuels. The researchers also considered intermediate (20% electric-powered miles) electrification—halfway between the high and low.

Additionally, few of current harvesting and dewatering technologies available today are amenable to scaling for larger production scenarios of 1,000 acre or larger algal farms. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. Appendix C: Intricacies of the Grid—transfer of power vs. energy.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank.
