Government assumptions on future oil price:
 
- the Government's (BERR) Communication on fossil fuel price assumptions, May 2008:  link
 
- since updated in July 2009 by DECC:    "Our assumptions on oil prices in 2020 have increased from 72 $/bbl to 80 $/bbl (by 12%).  The impact these have within the UK is also determined by the exchange rate. Since 2008 the pound has weakened against the dollar causing higher retail prices within the UK."   link
 
- by contrast, the DTI made projections in February 2006, for oil prices to be $35 through to 2020.    link     The Air Transport White Paper in 2003 was written at a time when oil was expected to be cheap, and become even cheaper.
 
- Hansard, for reply to question by Lord Berkeley on 18.6.2008: link
 
- the Government's response to question by Lord Berkeley on 4.6.2008 on the Rail Freight Group website, which gives the low, medium, high and high-high forecasts (table below).  :  link

This includes the following information, forecasts price of oil in $ per barrel:

Year                2010        2020        2030

Low                    45             45            45

Central              65             70            75
 
High                   85             95          105
 
High-high         107         150          150
 
 
 
 
 
Comment on oil price and aviation growth, from WWF, 18.6.2008:
 
"The government's air passenger forecast assumes that oil prices today are only US$60 a barrel and will fall to US$53 by 2012 and remain at that level indefinitely.  At present, oil costs US$136 a barrel, with some analysts forecasting prices as high as US$200 in the near future. (link)

"By doubling the Government's estimate to a conservative assumption of US$106 a barrel in 2030, the impact of the increased oil price on air fares alone would cause an estimated 15% reduction in the growth of air passengers. "
