Modelling of the future of transport fuels in Australia

Source: CSIRO
"This publication describes the modelling framework that was applied, the scenario and model assumptions that were used to underpin the modelling and the detailed model results associated with each scenario examined in the Future Fuels Forum. The report contains results for a number of sensitivity cases not discussed in detail in Fuel for thought. While the core drivers of the main scenarios are greenhouse gas emissions trading and changes in international oil supply, the sensitivity cases address: uncertainty around social preferences for travel additional policies that might be considered by governments, technological uncertainty in regard to biofuels, hydrogen, nuclear power, CO2 capture and storage."

Queensland's vulnerability to rising oil prices

Concludes that Queensland's vulnerability to peaking of world oil supplies and to world supply disruptions, is particularly acute given our oil supply and demand trends, as well as our regionally distributed population and industrial base.
