Report Highlights

World crude oil prices are expected to recover from a near-term decline and rise slowly to about $130 per barrel by 2030. This is an economic driver for alternative fuels that is almost equal to the economic and legislative drivers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and especially carbon dioxide emissions.
Non-fossil energy use in the U.S is growing rapidly, but fossil fuel will still be providing 79% of the U.S. total energy in 2030. However, net dependence of the U.S. on imported fossil fuel liquids will decline over the next 20 years.
Biofuels will continue to make substantial gains and the consumption for the transportation segment will hold steady at about 22 million barrels per day from 2008 to 2030. The real changes are that mild and full hybrid vehicle systems will dominate all the new light-duty vehicles sales in the U.S. by 2030.

INTRODUCTION
