The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in the United States from 2008 to 2017, crude oil represented only 61% of the retail price of gasoline. Refining costs and profits represented 12%, distribution and marketing costs 12%, and federal and state taxes 15%.
Minor changes to an existing Federal tax incentive for second-generation biofuels (i.e., Minor changes to an existing Federal tax incentive for second-generation biofuels (i.e., But these policies have not yet succeeded in bringing substantial volumes of new advanced biofuels to market.
Predicting and diagnosing the trajectory of oilprices has become something of a cottage industry in the past year. But along with all of the excess crude flowing from the oil patch, there is also an abundance of market indicators that while important, tend to produce a lot of noise that makes any accurate estimate nearly impossible.
According to a new report from Pike Research, the various national-level initiatives and programs to promote the awareness of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Asia-Pacific region will help make the region the largest market worldwide for electrified vehicles, led by strong demand in China, Japan, and Korea. billion in 2015.
In 5 of the 10 cities for which EIA collects weekly retail price data, gasoline prices exceeded $3.00/gal Rising crude oilprices and high levels of gasoline demand contributed to rising gasoline prices from January through May.

Jack Rosebro, founder of Perfect Sky in Los Angeles [and a contributor to Green Car Congress ], spoke of the need for government policy makers to move beyond incremental changes that are not providing enough incentive for the market to produce alternatives to oil as the almost exclusive source of energy for road and rail transportation.
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.
In two other scenarios considered, a high oilprice scenario (using EIA projections) and a battery swap operator-subsidzied scenario, EV new vehicle sales penetration reaches 85% and 86% respectively by 2030. lower on a per-mile basis than gasoline-powered cars, depending on the future price of oil. Becker (2009).
In January, the UK Office of Fair Trading said that increases in gasoline and diesel prices over the past ten years are largely caused by increases in taxation and oilprices and not a lack of competition. Pre-tax, the UK has some of the cheapest road fuel prices in Europe, according to the OFT.)
What’s more, they might not be alone in this attempt to curb OPEC’s clout on the global oilmarket. The reason they are likely to join in is that unlike in previous oilprice cycles, now there are alternatives to fossil fuels. Electrification is where OPEC may have to face off with a future oil buyers’ cartel.
The Annual Energy Outlook 2015 (AEO2015) released today by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that US energy imports and exports will come into balance—a first since the 1950s—because of continued oil and natural gas production growth and slow growth in energy demand. Tcf in the High Oil and Gas Resource case.
However, a broader measure of the “cash required per barrel,” which includes other costs such as depreciation, interest expense, tax expense, and spending on drilling and exploration, reveals a more damning picture. Part of the reason for that is rising oilprices, as well as a flattening of the futures curve.

Most, if not all, smaller market capitalization companies, public or private, are still free cash flow negative (operating cash flow less capital expenditure) and only a few of the larger ones are now, or will be, based on guidance. Expect the dollar to weaken considerably, breaching the 2015 lows thus supporting oilprices now and into 2016.
As of 2010, biofuel production was contingent on subsidies, tax credits, the import tariff, loan guarantees, RFS2, and similar policies. However, this opportunity will not be realized if farmers and landowners are unaware of the market opportunities for bioenergy feedstocks or are unwilling to participate in that market.
Cellulosic biofuels can compete with oil at $90/bbl without subsidy assuming: average conversion yield of 91 gallons per dry ton of biomass; average conversion plant capital expenditure of $3.60 Sensitivity analyses varying these assumptions individually gave potential cost-competitiveness with oilpriced at $70/bbl to $120/bbl.
Most notably, a rise in Saudi crude-oil output could trigger a damaging period of global oversupply, said Jim Krane, the Wallace S. This glut could be exacerbated by future carbon taxes and other policy restrictions on fossil fuels, he said. Internationally, Saudi Arabia also faces conflicting priorities for its crude oil.

The Nexus approach.
A consensus is developing that global oil production is less likely to come to a sharp peak and more likely to hit a plateau that might continue for some decades and then slowly decline. In response to these high prices, demand will moderate as petroleum consumers look for transportation options that are more energy efficient.

Various factors, such as site specific costs of hydrogen and utilities, as well as marketprices of byproducts like renewable diesel, LPG and Naphtha also have an impact on the net cost of production of renewable jet and its differential over the renewable diesel. Standard 2 (RFS2) Program.
Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oilprice spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. An LCFS is a hybrid of a regulatory and market policy instrument. Treat all crude oils as part of the overall pool of transportation fuels.
The generation share from renewable resources increases from 11% in 2009 to 14% in 2035 in response to Federal tax credits in the near term and State requirements in the long term. Natural gas also plays a growing role due to lower natural gas prices and relatively low capital construction costs that make it more attractive than coal.
