areas of inquiry: The potential impact of climate change policies on global fleet composition, fuel consumption, fuel prices, and economic output. The reference scenario assumes continued strengthening of fuel efficiency standards for LDVs, as well as expanded use of renewables for power generation.

LNG growth, driven by increasing supplies in Australia and the US, is expected to lead to a globally integrated gas market anchored by US gas prices. Coal consumption is projected to peak in the mid-2020s, largely driven by China’s move towards cleaner, lower-carbon fuels. Emerging themes in an energy transition. —Spencer Dale.

Tax credits and gasoline prices necessary for various electric vehicles to be cost-competitive with conventional vehicles at 2011 vehicle prices. That finding takes into account both the higher purchase price of an electric vehicle and the lower fuel costs over the vehicle’s life. Source: CBO. Click to enlarge.

Technoeconomic analyses performed on the state-of-technology suggest that methanol can be produced with a minimum selling price of $4.4/gallon By using renewably sourced hydrogen in the conversion, the team can produce methanol with a lower carbon footprint than conventional methods that use natural gas as a feedstock. 2022.135696

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. How PHEV provides Smooth Transitions from fossil fuel to renewables.

We expected it would come from higher prices or a supply disruption—we’ve all been surprised.) That means we’ll be powering some miles with increasingly renewable electricity that isn't made from imported oil. And magically, as more electricity comes from lower-carbon fuel sources, our cars will get cleaner as they get older!

Look at the periodic table, and think of the elements needed for a prosperous planet powered by renewable energy. Sulfuric acid is necessary for extracting heavy metals such as nickel, cobalt, and rare earths for batteries, magnets, and other renewable energy technologies. As dirty as it sounds, it’s actually cleaner than mining.

More renewable energy sources are being added to the UK grid all the time and it takes less energy to produce renewable electricity (and it’s a much cleaner process) than extracting and cracking crude oil to make petrol, while most new electric cars are packed with clever technology which makes then even more environmentally friendly.

Cantwell said that cap-and-trade had been discredited by the Wall Street crisis, the Enron scandal and the rocky start to a carbon credits trading system in Europe that has been subject to dizzying price fluctuations and widespread fraud. Pricing GHGs will increase the prices consumers pay for greenhouse-gas-intensive products.

Moreover, with the massive drop in oil prices , gas-powered vehicles are more economical to operate, which makes it harder to argue that EVs will help drivers save money on fuel. In Asia, a joint venture has even launched a new low-cost electric car brand in the midst of the pandemic.
