English term or phrase: backstop technologies
How will the supply of tar sands oil and biofuels respond to this price environment? Are backstop technologies such as CTL, GTL, already economic at the higher prices assumed in the scenario? Is this the ultimate limiting factor in determining price sustainability?

teknologi cadangan/pengaman
Explanation:
contoh backstop: jaring kawat di pinggir lapangan bisbol untuk membantu menangkap bola kalau pemain tidak sanggup menangkap.

CTL (Coal to Liquid) & GTL (Gas to Liquid) hanya berfungsi sebagai teknologi cadangan saja. Hanya akan dipakai nantinya kalau harga bahan bakar tetap naik tidak terkendali.

bahan bakar penunjang


Explanation:
Berdasarkan ref di bawah ini, "technology" di sini tampaknya lebih merujuk ke jenis bahan bakar; bukan teknik & metode pembuatan, dst. Sifat2 BT:
= berharga termahal
= tersedia luas
= paling akhir akan dipakai (ya jelas... harganya termahal...)

Terjemahan di atas didasarkan pada sifat terakhir, yakni, bahan bakar ini dipakai sekadar penunjang atau tambahan bagi bahan bakar lain yang lebih utama dan murah. Juga bersandar pada definisi bahwa backstop itu penghalang/barrier atau penunjang/support.

Oxford Dict: backstop: a person or thing placed at the rear of something as a barrier or support.

Ref:
http://classes.maxwell.syr.edu/ppa777/lectures/envlct26.html
# We want to run out of the resource at the highest price that people are willing to pay.
# This is the backstop price. It is determined by a backstop technology.
# A backstop technology is a technology that is available in vast quantities at the backstop price.
* E.g.: solar energy
* Note that the backstop price is constant, since the backstop technology is not exhaustible.
# Note that, if several fuels are available, we will begin by using the one with the cheapest extraction cost, and continue, using up each fuel, until the backstop technology is reached.
