Conventional automotive technologies have significant emission-reduction potential, according to a draft of the Boston Consulting Group’s (BCG) latest report on automotive propulsion, Powering Autos to 2020. BCG finds that ICE technologies can reduce CO 2 emissions up to 40% at a cost as low as $50 per percentage of reduction.

While a mandate can potentially increase social welfare substantially, a consumption subsidy likely decreases welfare significantly, primarily because of the taxpayer burden but also because it encourages negative externalities related to vehicle miles traveled, local air pollution and CO 2 emissions.

T&E said it opted for Enerdata because the POLES model developed and run by this institute is the only public model available in Europe they knew of that is capable of calculating oil prices as an output of supply and demand, rather than as an input. The study did not analyze the impact of biofuels on emissions, consumption or pricing.

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. EVs lack tailpipe emissions, sure, but producing, operating, and disposing of these vehicles creates greenhouse-gas emissions and other environmental burdens.
