Diesel (Distillate Fuel Oil) and Jet Fuel Market

The United States uses 144 billion gallons per year gasoline vs 86 billion gallons of diesel and Jet fuel per year. However, the total gasoline market (including the projected E85 replacement) is expected to only grow slightly by volume but will actually decrease when measured by Btu content between 2009 and 2030.

The slow growth of the gasoline market is in part due to the growth in the use of alternative fuels as well as diesel to power light duty vehicles. Between 2009 and 2030 the consumption of diesel and jet fuel is expect to grow 38% by volume and 40% by Btu content during the same period. Unlike light duty vehicles there is no current practical alternative path for powering ships, trains, heavy duty trucks, or aircraft with batteries, electricity or hydrogen.
