Among the transportation-related elements of US President Barack Obama’s new climate action plan, which he is outlining today in a speech at Georgetown University, is the development of new fuel economy standards for heavy-duty vehicles post-2018. Preparing the US for the impacts of climate change. Earlier post.).

We have had a long debate about climate change in this country. Most Australians now agree our climate is changing, this is caused by carbon pollution, this has harmful effects on our environment and on the economy—and the Government should act. —Prime Minister Gillard.

The report, Taxing Energy Use 2018 is based on OECD’s Taxing Energy Use database, a unique dataset to compare coverage and magnitude of specific taxes on energy use across 42 OECD and G20 economies (representing approximately 80% of global energy use), six sectors and five main fuel types. of emissions.

Meanwhile, significant gains in vehicle fuel economy over the coming decades are possible and very much needed globally in order to address pressing issues of climate change, energy security and sustainable mobility. Thus a $500 tax would still allow consumers to keep 3?4 4 of fuel economy-related savings.

Economy-wide CO 2 prices of $30-60/t CO 2 are too weak on their own to motivate significant reductions in CO 2 emissions from transportation. The economy-wide CO 2 prices applied increase the cost of driving only marginally with respect to the business-as-usual case. —Morrow et al.

In spring the Chancellor presents the annual Budget statement, which includes a detailed assessment of the state of the economy and the nation’s finances. In his statement, the Chancellor may announce changes to taxes and new spending measures. This year’s PBR follows the first contraction in the global economy for 60 years.

Here, we develop state-of-the-art representations of consumer preferences in multiple global energy-economy models, specifically focusing on the non-financial preferences of individuals. More than 90% of such vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines burning oil-derived fuels. Note the different scaling used in the graphs.

Member states should consider strategies to compensate for the taxation shortfall from fuels due to higher fuel economy by, for example, gradually adapting the minimum fuel tax level in the EU to increase incentives to shift to higher fuel economy and to keep total tax paid constant in real terms for both the consumer and the state revenues.

Strong economy-wide pricing measures (such as a $5.00 per gallon fuel tax by 2050) could result in an additional reduction of 28% in GHG emissions. The Moving Cooler baseline extrapolated these projections further to 2050, resulting in a potential doubling or greater of fleet fuel efficiency. Land use and smart growth.

The recommendations include: Improving the fuel consumption of mainstream vehicles is the primary nearer-term opportunity for reducing fuel use and GHG emissions. Market-based incentives should be implemented to support the US Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) LDV requirements.

Cars That Think

AUGUST 20, 2022

Most automotive manufacturers say they plan to use renewable energy in the future, but for now, most battery production relies on electric grids largely powered by fossil fuels. Can EVs be good enough—and can manufacturers roll them out fast enough—to meet the goals set in 2021 by the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26)?
