Illustrating Perspectives of Energy and Mobility • Timur Gül, Hal Turton • Energy Economics Group • Paul Scherrer Institut, Villigen, Switzerland • WEC- Europe Regional Meeting • Istanbul / Turkey, 16 October 2008
Presentation Outline • Motivation • Current state of energy and mobility • Future trends of energy and mobility • Conclusions and outlook
Why talking about energy & mobility? Global end-use sector energy consumption (EIA 2007)
Current state of energy and mobility Global modal shares (WBCSD 2004) Global shares of LDV utilization (WBCSD 2004) → 95% of all fuels used are petroleum-based (IPCC 2007)
OECD countries Future Trends in Mobility Where? How? Cars Source: WBCSD (2004)
Energy & mobility trends – fuel use Germany Austria Source: Tremove (2007) Switzerland
EU-27 transport fuel use trends Transport baseline fuel consumption in EC (2007) → Current trends both regionally & globally are likely to threaten the earth’s climate as well as energy security
“Alternative Futures” Drivetrains – dimension mobility Fuels – dimension energy → The appropriate technology choice depends on many factors simultaneously

Summary and Outlook • Alternative technologies require to address numerous issues at a time (affordability, climate change, energy security, …) • Most new transport options require holistic approaches in terms of drivetrain technology and energy supply / supply infrastructure – this requires early efforts! • Any move into alternative transport technologies should consider regional circumstances – availability of low-cost biomass, CO2 emissions from the power sector, etc. • More scenario analysis required to assess the potential of different technology options in transport on a regional scale (e.g. Europe), and in particular for electric vehicles
