USenergy-related carbon dioxide emissions and fossil fuel energy consumption. In the transportation sector, consumption and emissions trends in the past have been driven by changes in travel demand, fuel prices, and fuel economy regulations. Other sectors have also increased their consumption of natural gas.

Due to strong federal and state emissions standards, the average new car has gotten 43% cleaner since 1998. To determine GHG emissions, UCS considered the fuel economy, fuel type, and sales volume of each type of vehicle sold by each automaker in the 2013 model year (MY2013). Source: UCS. Click to enlarge.

The IEA said that this reflects the continued domination of fossil fuels—particularly coal—in the energy mix and the slow uptake of other, lower-carbon supply technologies. Fuel economy improvements accelerate where implementation of fuel economy standards and other policy measures has been scaled up, the report notes.

Substantial emission reductions due to fuel economy standards for passenger cars are already included in the current policy scenario. A large part of this potential comes from six relatively standardized categories: solar and wind energy; efficient appliances; efficient passenger cars; afforestation and stopping deforestation.
