At the same time, energy efficiency gains and increased use of renewable energy sources and lower carbon fuels, such as natural gas, are expected to help reduce by half the carbon intensity of the global economy. Natural gas remains challenged as a fuel for most personal vehicles. Global vehicle fuel efficiency - projections.

The rising fuel economy of LDVs more than offsets the modest growth in VMT, resulting in a 25% decline in LDV energy consumption decline between 2012 and 2040 in the AEO2014 Reference case. This is, however, less than the 13% share projected in AEO2013 because of the lower prices of competing fuels in AEO2014. per year, from 21.5

ExxonMobil projects that meeting future energy demand will be supported by more efficient energy-saving practices and technologies; increased use of less-carbon-intensive fuels such as natural gas, nuclear and renewables; as well as the continued development of technology advances to develop new energy sources. Transportation fuels.

ExxonMobil’s Outlook for Energy projects that carbon-based fuels will continue to meet about three quarters of global energy needs through 2040—a finding consistent with many projections, including those made by the International Energy Agency. Half of that increase will come from the Asia Pacific region, led by China.

Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. Average fuel efficiency in the US is 22 miles per gallon (mpg). New cars in 2015 get 25 mpg.)

percent of energy consumption to come from non fossil fuels [ earlier post ]. Closer to home, the federal fuel economy standards require the average fleet fuel economy of OEMs that sell vehicles in the USA to be 35.5 mpg by 2016. In contrast, China’s 12 th five-year plan, March 5, 2011, requires 11.4

Light duty vehicle fleet by type and average fuel efficiency. Additionally, to achieve proposed fuel-economy targets, personal vehicles will need to be smaller and lighter than they are today. Vehicle downsizing could account for more than one-third of total projected fuel economy improvements through 2040. Click to enlarge.
