  1. Trends in energy for transport —What are the policy implications?Trends and projections of transport energy use and emissions 14-15 June 2006Parliament HouseCanberra David Cosgrove BTRE Transport ColloquiumTransport Reform, Competition and the Future

  2. Transport Energy Trends – Underlying effects • Population increases and demographic effects • Income increases and other economic impacts • Technical innovation or changing technology • Public preferences and behavioural responses • Costs of travel (fuel prices, fares, vehicle prices, congestion etc) • Increasing personal mobility (combined with limited time for daily travel)

  3. Steadily increasing passenger and freight tasks • Steadily increasing transport energy use

  4. Relationship between per capita travel and per capita income levels

  5. Modal share of urban transport Source: BTRE (2005, 2003), BTRE estimates. (LCVs = light commercial vehicles)

  6. Base case projections Source: BTRE (2005), BTRE estimates

  7. Total Australian Passenger task Base case projections Source: BTRE (2005), BTRE estimates – for domestic transport. (Other = mostly LCVs + motorcycles)

  8. Total domestic freight task Base case projections Source: BTRE (2005, 2006), BTRE estimates

  9. Total motor vehicle travel Source: BTRE (2005, 2003), BTRE estimates

  10. Trends in engine efficiency – New cars Sources: BTRE (2002b), US EPA

  11. Trend in engine power – new light vehicles Source: BTRE (2002b)

  12. Trend in average fuel consumption – New sales Source: BTRE (2002b) – note: all light vehicles, including 4WDs and LCVs

  13. Energy use by Australian domestic transport Source: BTRE (2005, 2002a) – note: includes coal used for electric rail generation

  14. Liquid fuel use – Domestic and International transport Source: BTRE (2005, 2002a) – note: does not include military fuel use

  15. Projected trend in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Total transport sector emissions for Australia – including domestic civil transport, fuel sales to international carriers and the military, energy used in fuel refining or conversion, and energy used in vehicle manufacture and transport services Source: BTRE (2005, 2002a) – gigagrams of CO2 equivalent emissions

  16. Trends in noxious urban air emissions NOx PM HC CO Source: BTRE (2003), BTRE estimates

  17. Transport energy trends by mode Base case projections Source: BTRE (2005, 1996) – note: includes Australian fuel sales to international transport

  18. Trends in energy for transport — What are the policy implications? David Cosgrove Trends and projections of transport energy use and emissions
