“…In recent years, this method was especially applied to unveil the WTP for biofuels [68,80,81], HFCVs [65] and HEVs [32]. Similar to other CV literature, the WTP for AFVs is found to be positively influenced by income [32,80] and environmental concern [32,51,65,80,81].…”

“…Second, research from the 80s and 90s mainly focused on the potential demand for battery EVs [13,14,24,27,38,39,54,55,79,90], while studies from the late 90s and 2000s rather address a mix of AFVs including EVs, LPG, CNG or methanol [21][22][23]33,34,42,81,87]. In line with technological developments, recent research also concentrates on HEVs [3,10,26,29,31,32,45,49,53,72], PHEVs [ 9 , 11], bi ofuels [51,68,69,80,89,91], hydrogen [2,66,74,76,86] and HFCVs [46,61,62,65]. Finally, most literature has been published in America.…”

“…Petrolia et al [28] used a contingent valuation exercise to examine WTP for E10 and E85 among US consumers. They found that demand for E85 is more price inelastic than E10, with much stronger preferences for E85 than E10.…”

“…While several studies ( [21][22][23][24][25][26]) have examined WTP for emission reductions or for ethanol blends ( [28][29][30][31]), these studies have not examined WTP for emission reductions as an attribute of E85 within the context of conjoint analysis. This study will extend the literature by estimating how WTP for emission reductions through E85 purchases vary across market segments using cluster analysis to identify the market segments, conjoint analysis to estimate WTP, and data from a nationwide US survey.…”

Greenhouse gas emission reductions as a motivator of e85 purchases across market segments

Background: Climate change has become a concern of both policy makers and consumers. Transportation constitutes a key source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; hence, alternative transportation fuels with reduced GHG emissions are of increasing interest as a potential strategy for decreasing emissions. However, consumer views on achieving emission reductions through the use of alternative fuels have not been widely studied. Understanding consumer preferences related to alternative fuels is relevant as new fuel options become available. Methods: This study uses a two-step cluster analysis of opinion variables to segment consumers into four market segments (Potential activists, Environmentals, Neutrals, and National interests). Cluster profiles are examined based on demographics and opinion variables related to concerns about national security, food versus fuel, perceived effects of personal actions, perceived effects of other's actions, and environmental issues. Willingness to pay (WTP) for reductions in GHG emissions through purchases of ethanol blends is estimated via conjoint analysis from a national survey. Results: Estimates reveal that WTP varies in significance and magnitude across the four segments. In particular, the Environmentals market cluster is the only cluster consistently willing to pay a premium for emission reductions.
