2 Outline THE Problem (Hint: Petroleum) FreedomCAR What it Means for Steel

3 HISTORY 1970 (to present) In response to environmental movements of the 1960 s, the Clean Air Acts establish standards for criteria emissions (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen and sulfur oxides) from transportation vehicles and other sources to 1986 (and to present) - Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 establishes Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for light-duty vehicles Clinton s Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) between US government agencies and Big Three automakers indicates that high-fuel efficiency (80 mpg) family autos are probably technically viable at a slight cost premium through use of alternate power plants (mainly diesel-electric hybrids), advanced design and lightweighting materials, probably spurs automotive technology worldwide, and provides model for government-industry cooperation PNGV morphed by Bush to FreedomCAR (Cooperative Automotive Research) with more emphases on fuel-cell vehicles, all sorts of light-duty vehicles (not just cars) and limited to USCAR and DOE FreedomCAR expanded to include the Hydrogen Fuels Initiative to explore technologies for producing and delivering hydrogen for transportation and other uses (the hydrogen economy ). Energy-supply industry brought in.

4 U.S. Energy Dependence is Driven By Transportation U.S. Oil Use for Transportation 22 Millions of Barrels per Day Domestic Production Off-road Marine Rail Actual Projected Air Heavy Vehicles Light Trucks Cars Passenger Vehicles Year Source: Transportation Energy Data Book: Edition 22, September 2002, and EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2003, January 2003 Transportation accounts for 2/3 of the 20 million barrels of oil our nation uses each day. The U.S. imports 59% of its oil, expected to grow to 68% by 2025 under the status quo. Nearly all of our cars and trucks currently run on either gasoline or diesel fuel.

5 Our Oil Situation (Millions of barrels per day) Source of Oil Gross Imports 59% Domestic 41.1% 1.97 (17.1%) Consumption Highway Vehicles 68% Cost of Imports $25/bbl) $105.2 Billion Source: EIA Petroleum Supply Annual 2002, Vol. 1 Other Non-OPEC 3.41 (29.6%) Mexico 1.55 (13.4%) US Domestic 8.04 Venezuela 1.4 (12.1%) Canada Nigeria 0.62 (5.4%) Other OPEC 0.58 (5%) Iraq 0.46 (4%) Saudi Arabia 1.55 (13.5%)

6 Can We Sustain Increasing Consumption? 30 Annual World Oil Production (Billions of Barrels) Projected Growth in Light-Duty Vehicle Registrations Estimates of Remaining Oil Reserves Billions of Vehicles Industrialized Nations World

7 Why Hydrogen?: It s abundant, clean, efficient, and can be derived from diverse domestic resources Biomass Transportation Hydro Wind Solar HIGH EFFICIENCY & RELIABILITY. Nuclear Oil Coal Natural Gas With Carbon Sequestration ZERO/NEAR ZERO EMISSIONS Distributed Generation

15 Conclusions PNGV and FreedomCAR stimulated automotive technologies. Provided successful example to USA of public/private partnership to better define options. FreedomCAR and Hydrogen Fuel Initiative launched to explore the hydrogen economy. These and other factors put pressure on steel s dominance as the major automotive structural material. The ultimate factors will likely be economic and political.
