Vehicle Efficiency Standards and Future US Oil Demand
Trevor Houser and Shashank Mohan assess the oil market impact of the 2017-2025 vehicle efficiency standards just announced by the Obama Administration.
Rhodium Group’s Energy & Climate practice uses a multidisciplinary, data-driven approach to produce unique, independent insights into global energy dynamics, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change.
We help public and private decision-makers understand what kind of climate future we are on track for, and what matters most for reducing greenhouse gas emissions—at the local, state, national, and international levels. By combining policy expertise with a suite of detailed energy-economic models, our research provides data-driven insights into the impacts of energy and climate change policy and real-world developments on greenhouse gas emissions, energy markets, economic output, and clean technology pathways.

Report
As US gasoline prices approached $4 a gallon in spring 2011, energy security moved to the forefront of the American political debate. Houser and Mohan analyze the various recent policy proposals, from expanded offshore drilling to new vehicle efficiency standards.
Note
In a speech at Georgetown University on March 30, President Obama announced a goal of cutting US oil imports by one third by 2025 and released a “Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future” laying out the policy pathway to achieve that target. In this note we assess the President’s oil ambitions and policy proposals in terms of their aggressiveness, feasibility, and impact on US energy security.
