Book Synopsis Economic Impacts of Increased Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards by : Ann K. Hunter-Pirle
Download or read book Economic Impacts of Increased Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards written by Ann K. Hunter-Pirle and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates that U.S. transportation fuel producers blend specific volumes of ethanol and other biofuels with fossil fuels to spur U.S. biofuel production and to minimize foreign oil imports. Ethanol is more corrosive to auto engines than gasoline, and although vehicles manufactured since 2001 are approved to use up to a 15% ethanol blend (E15) (Naylor & Falcon, 2011), E10 is much more widely available. Ethanol producers therefore face a so-called blend wall at 10 percent—a maximum amount of ethanol that is usable domestically based on the demand for gasoline. Meanwhile, gasoline demand in the U.S. has declined since 2008, when high gas prices and the onset of the recession abruptly led Americans to drive less and to buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since updated Federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to double fuel efficiency in cars and light duty trucks by 2025 to 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) on average, further diminishing gasoline demand. Until now, RFS and CAFE have mostly been examined separately or compared to hypothetical carbon cap and trade policies. Analyzing how the RFS and CAFE interact is important because unlike cap and trade, these two policies exist in the U.S. already, and they affect each other in ways unanticipated when each was created. This research uses a comparative statics model to examine the interactions between RFS and CAFE, first in 2013, then in 2025, when updated CAFE standards have been fully implemented and average gas mileage for model year 2025 is 54.5 mpg. This analysis finds that if both policies are implemented simultaneously in 2025, the outcome is incompatible with even an E15 blend wall. While motor fuel consumers’ gains are 50 percent of their 2013 expenditures, gasoline producers lose surplus equivalent to 20 percent of their 2013 receipts.
Book Synopsis Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles by : National Research Council
Download or read book Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The light-duty vehicle fleet is expected to undergo substantial technological changes over the next several decades. New powertrain designs, alternative fuels, advanced materials and significant changes to the vehicle body are being driven by increasingly stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. By the end of the next decade, cars and light-duty trucks will be more fuel efficient, weigh less, emit less air pollutants, have more safety features, and will be more expensive to purchase relative to current vehicles. Though the gasoline-powered spark ignition engine will continue to be the dominant powertrain configuration even through 2030, such vehicles will be equipped with advanced technologies, materials, electronics and controls, and aerodynamics. And by 2030, the deployment of alternative methods to propel and fuel vehicles and alternative modes of transportation, including autonomous vehicles, will be well underway. What are these new technologies - how will they work, and will some technologies be more effective than others? Written to inform The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards, this new report from the National Research Council is a technical evaluation of costs, benefits, and implementation issues of fuel reduction technologies for next-generation light-duty vehicles. Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles estimates the cost, potential efficiency improvements, and barriers to commercial deployment of technologies that might be employed from 2020 to 2030. This report describes these promising technologies and makes recommendations for their inclusion on the list of technologies applicable for the 2017-2025 CAFE standards.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Attribute-based Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards by : Walter S. McManus
Download or read book The Impact of Attribute-based Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards written by Walter S. McManus and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the first rigorous analysis of the economic impacts of current legislative proposals to raise CAFE under the reformed “attribute-based” structure. Whereas historic CAFE standards set one standard for every automaker, the reformed system fundamentally alters the impact of the standards on individual companies. Under the reformed CAFE structure, which applies to light trucks starting next year and is the leading proposal under discussion in Congress, each vehicle is assigned a fuel economy target based on vehicle attributes. Light truck targets are a function of the truck’s “footprint” – that is, the area defined by the truck’s wheels. Each automaker’s truck CAFE target will be a sales-weightedaverage of the targets for its truck models – automakers that market larger vehicles will face a less stringent standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overall fuel economy trends have prompted some energy conservationists and environmentalists to call for increasing the Corp. Avg. Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Those supporting an increase in the standards often cite energy security and environmental benefits that would result from improved fuel economy. Those opposed to raising the standards often cite decreased auto safety, which they contend could result from producing smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. This report has reviewed studies and interviewed experts to identify: the impact of increasing CAFE standards on oil consumption, the environ., and auto safety in the U.S.; and other issues that affect the CAFE.

Book Synopsis Reducing Gasoline Consumption by : Terry Dinan
Download or read book Reducing Gasoline Consumption written by Terry Dinan and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several Members of Congress and public interest groups have recently proposed policies that would reduce gasoline consumption in the United States. Such proposals stem primarily from a desire to enhance the nation's energy security and to decrease its emissions of carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas that affects the Earth's climate. This book compares three methods of reducing gasoline consumption: increasing the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards that govern passenger vehicles, raising the federal tax on gasoline, and setting a limit on carbon emissions from gasoline combustion and requiring gasoline producers to hold allowances for those emissions (a policy known as a cap-and-trade program). Also, the book weighs the relative merits of those policies against several major criteria: whether they would minimise costs to producers and consumers; how reliably they would achieve a given reduction in gasoline use; their implications for automobile safety; and their effects on such factors as traffic congestion, requirements for highway construction, and emissions of air pollutants other than carbon dioxide. In addition, the book examines two more policy implications that lawmakers may be concerned about: the impact on people at different income levels and in different regions, and the effects on federal revenue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopted in 1975, Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards had profound influences on the automobile industry as well as fleet fuel economy in the United States. In my dissertation, I first looked into the historical impacts of CAFE standards in the automobile industry using vehicle attribute data. I found evidence that the increase in the stringency of CAFE standards can induce the innovation of fuel economy related technologies in the automobile industry. I further estimated the response rate of the induced innovation with respect to stringency increases in CAFE standards. Using these estimates, I predicted that automobile companies would be able to meet the high 2025 fuel economy target by making medium downsizing in cars and minor downsizing in light duty trucks. Such methods can also be applied in other industries that have performance based regulations. CAFE standards increased fleet fuel economy in the United States as it was designed to. However, a more fuel efficient fleet resulted in less gasoline tax revenue, which is the major source of road maintenance. This trend affected governments at both federal and state levels. With more stringent CAFE standards enforced by the Obama Administration, which seek to almost double vehicle fuel economy by 2025, the gasoline tax revenue would be further eroded. As major increases in the gasoline tax rate are not politically feasible in the United States, policy makers seek other methods, such as a vehicle mile traveled (VMT) tax, to maintain a more stable revenue flow. I estimated households' driving demand in response to driving cost changes using household survey data and estimated tax revenue under different tax scenarios. I showed that although a VMT tax can be more regressive than a gasoline tax, it provides more stable tax revenue without having to make major adjustments in tax rates when fleet fuel economy keeps increasing.
