ABSTRACT
Products of petroleum oil fuel almost all of today's transport. A considerable part of the chapter concerns prospects for continued sufficient supply of oil to meet anticipated transport activity and the prospects for replacing oil as the main transport fuel. Our conclusion is that world oil production will begin to fall during the next decade and that electricity is the most likely replacement, with much of it eventually produced from renewable resources. We discuss electric vehicles, as well as vehicles that use oil products and other fuels. Finally, we consider how enough electricity might be produced to replace oil as the main transport fuel.
