摘要: Abstract This paper provides a preliminary life cycle assessment (LCA) of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell powered automobile. Life PEM automobile not only includes operation the vehicle on road but also include production and distribution both (e.g. hydrogen) during vehicle’s entire lifetime. Assessment is based published data available in literature. The two characteristics cycle, which were assessed, are energy consumption greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. Greenhouse emissions considered present CO2 CH4. In addition, conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) assessed similar for comparison with It found that utilized to generate hydrogen about 3.5 times higher than gasoline its cycle. However, overall 2.3 less ICE Similarly, GHGs PEMFC 8.5 2.6 lower
