The GHG global issue

• Approximately 25% of the world CO2 emissions are
attributable to the transportation system (Eurostat,
2009).
• Out of this percentage, 75% is caused by passenger
cars and trucks.
• According to current trends the number of cars
may double until 2050 due to population and income
increases (IEA-International Energy Outlook report,
Feb 2013).
• The decarbonisation of the transport system is one
of the key challenges for mitigating climate change.

The social cost of carbon allows
                                for optimal decentralized decisions
• Les politiques environnementales ne sont pas un jeu à somme nulle entre pollueurs et pollués.
• Il s’agit de créer de la valeur, en dissuadant les émissions non justifiées socialement et en réalisant tous les
  abattements dont le coût est inférieur au coût marginal des dommages environnementaux (SCC).
• Pour cela, il faut une main « visible » responsabilisatrice pour assurer l’internalisation des externalités (sur la
  base de la SCC, mais en intégrant aussi valeurs d’option et « contraintes de second rang »: VTC).

How to reduce
 the TCO ?
• Conditions for a break-
  even of FCEV in 2030:
   1. A (very) high carbon
      price 300 €/tCO2 in             FCEV
      2030 !!!
                                     BEV
   2. Or an increase in the
      learning rate, from 20
      to 25%                         ICE
   3. Or a doubling of the
      cumulative
      capacities…

Take-off, powering up and cruising
• The Micro-economics of ZEV illustrate three levers:
 1. Increase in the price of fossil hyrdocarbons through the introduction
    of a carbon price
 2. Increase in the learning rate of the experience curve, through
    accelerated RD&D effort
 3. Increase of cumulative capacities through the buying of capacities
    (e.g. feed-in tariffs) in the stage of pre-competitiveness
• These levers should probably be combined in a timely
  strategic approach that identifies (JP Ponssard):
 1. Take-off: R&D, niche markets, infrastructure development plans…
 2. Powering up: subsidizing infrastructures and investment, price signals
    and tariffs, competitive bidding
 3. Cruising: readjustment of policies and measures, withdrawal of
    unnecessary public incentives
