GlobalData research shows that lower oilprices as a result of the COVID-19 crisis could reduce electric vehicle demand and impair EU efforts to significantly reduce average new vehicle CO 2 emissions in the European car market. —Mike Vousden, Automotive Analyst at GlobalData.
Despite efforts to continue stimulating the US economy in the wake of the pandemic, high inflation put a damper on economic growth, which was exacerbated by a spike in oilprices as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Outside of the power sector, emissions increased slightly. In 2022, emissions reached only 15.5%
The results of a new, comprehensive modeling study characterizing light-duty electric drive vehicle (EDV) deployment in the US over 108 discrete scenarios do not demonstrate a clear and consistent trend toward lower system-wide emissions of CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x as EDV deployment increases. —Babaee et al.

If current policy and technology trends continue, global energy consumption and energy-related carbon dioxide emissions will increase through 2050 as a result of population and economic growth. The four side cases show the effects of changing key model assumptions about economic growth and world oilprice.
demand) are predicted to displace mostly heavy crudes that have between 25% and 54% higher carbon intensity than the global average, knocking down the overall carbon emissions associated with oil. Regardless of the market structure, small shocks (-2.5%
Global CO 2 emissions from fossil-fuel combustion reached a record high of 31.6 Coal accounted for 45% of total energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2011, followed by oil (35%) and natural gas (20%). increase in CO 2 emissions in countries outside the OECD was only partly offset by a 0.6% This represents an increase of 1.0
CSIRO notes that the idea of using a coal engine to generate electricity is not new; it was successfully investigated in the US some 20 years ago for use in diesel locomotives before development was terminated by persistently low oilprices.
However, the report advises, long-term solutions to global challenges remain scarce; as one example, the report sees global CO 2 emissions rising by 20% to 37.2 Non-OECD countries account for a rising share of CO 2 emissions, but 2035 non-OECD per capita levels are only half of OECD.

gasoline demand would have put upward pressure on world oilprices. They added indirect rebound effects via income and world oilprices to the calculations because, in principle these could have non-trivial impacts on fuel savings. First, had fuel economy not improved, the higher level of U.S.
Removing fossil fuel subsidies would have only a small effect on CO 2 emissions and renewable energy use, according to a new study led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and published in the journal Nature. First, these subsidies generally apply only to oil, gas, and electricity. This equates to 0.5-2
Both primary energy consumption and carbon emissions from energy use fell at their fastest rate seen since the Second World War, while renewable energy continued its trajectory of strong growth, with wind and solar power recording their largest ever annual increase. The oilprice (Dated Brent) averaged $41.84/bbl The US (-2.3
Examples of emerging oil sands related technologies and trade-offs. The paper is an examination of how various choices about the scale of the life cycle analysis applied to oil sands (i.e., However, this only accounts for the processing that occurs in Canada and therefore excludes much of the refining and transport emissions.
earlier post ) found that such biodiesel reduces greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by 90% compared to petroleum diesel in the US. The economic target for Evogene is to be price competitive without government subsidies at an oilprice equivalent to $45 per barrel.
In both the base-case and a scenario with more aggressive environmental policies, CO 2 emissions from energy use remain well above the IEA 450 scenario. However, both cases result in global CO 2 emissions well above the IEA 450 scenario—a back-cast which illustrates what is required to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations at 450 ppm.
Fleets across the country are trying to reduce their vulnerability to spikes in oilprices and are finding themselves increasingly subject to greenhouse gas emissions limitations at the federal, state and local levels. Charts and tables display annual reductions in emissions, petroleum use and fuel costs.
improved battery chemistry that allows for faster and deeper charging and reductions in battery cell and other component costs), and oilprices increasing to $200 per barrel: Low. The high electric transportation scenario combines the advanced battery scenario with high oilprices ($200/barrel in 2035).
Energy-related CO 2 emissions declined by 2.8% US carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels decreased by 2.8% This is the largest annual decline in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions since EIA began annual reporting on greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation sector CO 2 emissions by fuel types (1990 to 2008).

The new engine emits 20% less carbon dioxide than diesel engines, reduces NO x emissions by 97% to reach world’s lowest level of 50 ppm, and improves engine performance by 47%. Due to high oilprices and strengthening regulations on emissions, the demand for gas engines is increasing.
Given current policies and regulations limiting fossil fuel use, worldwide energy-related CO 2 emissions rise from about 31 billion metric tons in 2010 to 36 billion metric tons in 2020 and then to 45 billion metric tons in 2040, a 46% increase over the 30-year span. Liquid fuels. trillion kilowatthours in 2010 to 5.5
Comparison of coal consumption and CO 2 emissions for co-production and separate production of liquids and power. Plant-level CO 2 emissions can be greatly reduced by using the CCS technology, the study found, without much increase in capital cost. Even with CCS, the liquid product costs are comparable to recent crude oilprices.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates in the April 2010 release of its Short-Term Energy and Summer Fuels Outlook that CO 2 emissions from fossil fuels, which declined by 6.6% However, even with increases in 2010 and 2011, projected CO 2 emissions in 2011 are lower than annual emissions from 1999 through 2008.
Among their findings were: RFS2 is satisfied at extreme oilprices (at least $215/barrel). This oilprice encourages biofuel use in the RFS2 timeframe, but not in the long run. The simulation evolves the LDV parc, stepping through 2050, although most of the analysis in the paper focuses on simulations through 2022.
World oilprices remain high in the IEO2011 Reference case, but oil consumption continues to grow; both conventional and unconventional liquid supplies are used to meet rising demand. In the IEO2011 Reference case the price of light sweet crude oil (in real 2009 dollars) remains high, reaching $125 per barrel in 2035.
At current oilprices, DME can be produced and distributed at less than 1/2 the cost of conventional fuel. When burned in a diesel engine, all soot emissions are eliminated and NO x emissions are lowered significantly without the use of expensive exhaust aftertreatment devices.
High oilprices, impending emissions regulations and technical advancements are propelling the market faster than we expected. A key factor is International Maritime Organization Tier III emissions standards, which are slated to take effect in 2015-2016. What surprised us is the rate.
The transportation sector thus represents a significant fraction of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions both globally and in the US—light-duty vehicles (LDVs) are responsible for 17.5% of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions in the US. The analogous progression for CO 2 emissions is less clear. Vehicle technologies.
The “Arab Spring” affected oil and gas supplies—most notably the complete, albeit temporary, loss of Libyan supply—while the tragic Fukushima accident in Japan had knock-on effects for nuclear and other energy sources around the world. bbl, they were the second-highest in inflation adjusted terms, behind only 1864.
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 oilprices.
A new study by consultancy Roland Berger defines an integrated roadmap for European road transport decarbonization to 2030 and beyond; the current regulatory framework for vehicle emissions, carbon intensity of fuels and use of renewable fuels covers only up to 2020/2021. GHG abatement in road transport sector will cost approx.
NTEA’s additional anecdotal evidence suggests that though alternative fuel interest may ebb and flow along with fluctuating oilprices, the trend will likely turn upward in the long run. It is highly likely that clean energy solutions will remain relevant due to oilprice instability.
