According to BP (pdf https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/country-sites/en_au/australia/home/products-services/fuels/opal-factsheet-storagehandling.pdf https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/country-sites/en_au/austra...) stored fuel whether petrol or diesel has a shelf life of about one year. If no new ICE cars are sold in Europe past 2035 as per this law, and existing ICE cars have a generous twenty-five year lifespan, we can estimate that Europe will lack the infrastructure to support daily use of your ICE car by around 2060.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoHave you calculated what the minimum volume of a refinery is to continue to be economically solvent? How long a combustion vehicle lasts is immaterial, what’s important is at what part of the demand death spiral the petrol supply chain no longer operates. You’d want to track refinery volumes and closures to know when the last barrel of gasoline will be produced at scale, at which point folks would have to covert to ethanol for local production and consumption (or biodiesel for diesel engines). https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/ev-impact-electric-vehicle-growth-to-sever-oil-from-key-market-66514990 https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights... https://www.snl.com/articles/409665336.png https://www.snl.com/articles/409665336.png https://archive.is/PKBhP https://archive.is/PKBhP
