BNEF: Oil price plunge to have only moderate impact on low-carbon electricity development, but likely to slow EV growth

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 22, 2014

The collapse in world oil prices in the second half of 2014 will have only a moderate impact on the fast-developing low-carbon transition in the world electricity system, according to research firm Bloomberg New Energy Finance. However, the slump in the Brent crude price per barrel from $112.36 on 30 June to $61.60

The Sandia researchers showed that the key to meeting the RFS2 targets is the fuel price differential between E85 fuel and conventional gasoline (low ethanol blends), so that E85 owners refuel with E85 whenever possible. The model has four sub-components: vehicle, fuel production, electricity grid; and energy supply.

For many drivers there is a basic understanding of how traditional gasoline pricing functions: Oil prices based on availability and proximity in large part dictate how much a driver will pay at the pump. Let’s take a look at the specifics of private and public pricing policy.

The reality is that all the job cuts in the world won't help if Ford, and General Motors, for that matter, continue to shy away from offering more Americans many more cars that can run on fuels other than gasoline. With the global oil market operating at close to zero excess capacity, oil prices are not coming down anytime soon.

There are three reasons for this lack of observed effect, they concluded: (1) at present the overall share of emissions from the LDV sector is only 20% of US CO 2 emissions; (2) EDV charging can still produce comparable emissions to conventional vehicles depending on the grid mix; and (3) the effect of other sectors on emissions is significant.
