Summary of Pilot Project State Technical Assistance on Multi-Sector Analysis for Electric and Petroleum Fuels

Summary

Oregon faces significant vulnerabilities in its petroleum-dependent transportation fuel supply chain, exacerbated by a critical lack of granular, statewide data necessary for quantitative risk analysis. A pilot project, undertaken by PNNL and the Oregon Department of Energy, initially sought to conduct a quantitative risk assessment but pivoted to a qualitative scenario-based approach due to these data limitations. The completed project identified the absence of readily available fuel supply data as a major barrier and highlighted disproportionate impacts of fuel price increases on transportation energy burdens in rural areas.
