The horizontal red lines show the comparable price of gasoline (before tax, refining margin 0.3 $/gal, exchange rate: 1 € = 1.326 $) with crude oil prices 100 $/bbl and 150 $/bbl. They calculated production cost estimates assuming n th plant economics and without public investment support, CO 2 credits or tax assumptions.

Resulting gases are passed over catalysts, causing reactions that separate oxygen from carbon molecules, making the carbon molecules high in energy content, similar to gasoline molecules. This break-even crude oil price compares favorably with the literature estimated prices of fuels from alternate biochemical and thermochemical routes.

A key barrier to achieving RFS2 is the high cost of producing biofuels compared to petroleum-based fuels and the large capital investments required to put billions of gallons of production capacity in place. Resolving most of the barriers is necessary to achieving RFS2, and many of them are interrelated as illustrated by the examples below.

Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC). It is possible that breakthroughs in battery technology will greatly lower the cost.
