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. Earlier post.). Other efforts will include: Natural Gas.

For the Transportation sector, EIA projects that energy consumption will decline between 2019 and 2037 (in the Reference case) because increases in fuel economy more than offset growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). However, US coal shipments, which are primarily via rail, decline slightly. trillion miles in 2018 to 3.5

Only in the case of high EV market share and a high renewable electricity standard (RES) do EVs make a material contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, they found. The orange increment, in the 20% EV and 100% EV cases, is from linking fuel efficiency standards. Credit: ACS, Choi et al. Click to enlarge. —Choi et al.

At the same time, energy efficiency gains and increased use of renewable energy sources and lower carbon fuels, such as natural gas, are expected to help reduce by half the carbon intensity of the global economy. Global vehicle fuel efficiency - projections. On-road fuel economy varies significantly by region.
