Expected Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions by Battery, Fuel Cell, and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

摘要: This chapter presents background on greenhouse gas emission (GHG) formation from motor vehicles and then estimates of GHG emissions various types electric (EVs) such as battery, fuel cell, plug-in hybrid studies conducted by research groups at universities, national labs, government agencies, other are reviewed. EVs can even have very low to zero GHGs when they run renewable fuels; however, present, more expensive than options that offer significant reductions lower costs electricity is largely generated conventional fuels. When coal heavily used produce or H 2 , tend increase significantly compared with alternatives. Without carbon capture sequestration, coal-based fuels in conjunction drive systems little no benefit. Much deeper over 90% possible for battery (BEVs) if nuclear power sources. Plug-in (PHEVs) running gasoline reduce 20–60%, cell 30–50% natural gas-derived up 95% the produced potentially compressed using feedstocks.
