Not to be confused with biodiesel, RD goes through a hydrotreating process instead of a transesterification process through which an ASTM D975-compliant diesel product is created. Therefore, offering a better solution for fuel filters, elastomer seals and components, and storage tanks.

Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. While CO 2 prices are equivalent to fuel taxes, CO 2 prices at their projected levels are far too small to create a significant incentive to drive less.

Assuming the China government remains committed to EVs, BCG expects that these vehicles will represent 7% of new vehicle sales in 2020, supported by car buyers’ enthusiasm for the technology and the country’s high gasoline taxes. A combination of peak oil with incentives or lower battery costs could increase EV penetration by 6%.

Among the proposed changes were additional production lead time; a reduced compliance obligation (i.e., Europe has gasoline taxes over $4 per gallon and still finds the need to adopt aggressive performance standards for cars to reduce GHGs and oil use. Earlier post.).

A new study by the French institute Enerdata, commissioned by the European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E), suggests that the European CO 2 standards for new vehicles due to come into effect in 2012 will lead not only to a European savings on oil (mainly via lower oil import volumes) but also to slightly lower global oil prices.

Then there is the fuel cycle—the activities associated with producing and using the fuel or electricity to power the vehicle through its working life. For EVs, much of the environmental burden centers on the production of batteries, the most energy- and resource-intensive component of the vehicle. AFP/Getty Images.
