摘要: In a joint report submitted to the Legislature and Governor in August 2003, the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) presented an overarching strategy to reduce Californias dependence on petroleum fuels for transportation energy. Based on the use of reduction measures that were shown to be technically feasible and cost-beneficial, the agencies proposed a goal to reduce on-road petroleum fuel demand to 15 percent below 2003 levels by 2020. The key recommendations to achieve this goal were to increase new vehicle fuel economy and increase the use of non-petroleum fuels (alternative fuels). The staff finds efficiency measures provide the greatest benefit for a given investment. However, the efficiency option with the largest projected benefit and petroleum fuel reduction, improving new vehicle fuel economy standards, cannot be implemented by California and requires federal action. Although initial contact with other states to form a fuel economy collaborative to influence federal action in this regard has been positive, there is no certainty of success in this endeavor. Other efficiency options such as improved vehicle maintenance practices, truck stop electrification, more efficient medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines, and increased use of diesel engines in light-duty vehicles appear to have positive merit in a petroleum reduction strategy. Where additional consumer information can spur greater use of efficiency options, benefits are projected to exceed investment cost.
