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. If competition for bioenergy feedstocks intensifies because of low supply, the price will likely increase.

Alternative fuels must make economic sense, the researchers stress, for biofuels to make a dent in the petroleum-driven market. We have the environmental incentives to produce fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, but right now, they aren’t enough to compete with low oil prices. That’s the problem.

For each new plant constructed, the BDM selected a feedstock/conversion pair resulting in the lowest cost of ethanol. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to determine key parameters affecting production volumes, cost, and greenhouse gas savings. The study used state-level granularity in its assessments, rather than a national model.

While several high profile vehicle market introductions such as the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf have been initiated, questions remain regarding the potential to reach the 2015 goal. The performance and cost effectiveness of the early EVs in the market will be a major but unknowable factor in how many EVs are on the road by 2015.

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.
