Well-to-wheel environmental implications of fuel economy targets for hydrogen fuel cell electric buses in the United States

Journal Article Lee, Dong-Yeon ; Elgowainy, Amgad ; Vijayagopal, Ram - Energy Policy

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle technology is emerging as a promising option for the electrification of school or transit buses. For fuel cell electric transit buses, the U.S. government has set the fuel economy target at 8 miles per diesel gallon equivalent (MPDGE). However, life-cycle environmental implications of the 8 MPDGE target are currently lacking in the literature. In addition, no comparable target exists for fuel cell electric school buses. This study shows that achieving the fuel economy target (8 MPDGE) for fuel cell electric transit buses is likely to result in reductions of overall energy consumption and air emissionsmore »« less

Comparison of well-to-wheels energy use and emissions of a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle relative to a conventional gasoline-powered internal combustion engine vehicle

Journal Article Liu, Xinyu ; Reddi, Krishna ; Elgowainy, Amgad ; ... - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy

The operation of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEVs) is more efficient than that of gasoline conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), and produces zero tailpipe pollutant emissions. However, the production, transportation, and refueling of hydrogen are more energy- and emissions-intensive compared to gasoline. In this research, a well-to-wheels (WTW) energy use and emissions analysis was conducted to compare a HFCEV (Toyota Mirai) with a gasoline conventional ICEV (Mazda 3). Two sets of specific fuel consumption data were used for each vehicle: (1) fuel consumption derived from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) window-sticker fuel economy figure, and (2) weight-averagedmore »« less

Wells to wheels: Environmental implications of natural gas as a transportation fuel

Journal Article Cai, Hao ; Burnham, Andrew ; Chen, Rui ; ... - Energy Policy

Expanded use of natural gas (NG) as a transportation fuel in the United States requires understanding its environmental, technological, and economic performance. We analyzed water consumption for NG production in major U.S. shale gas plays from recent reports and studies. Also, we assessed the water consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and air emissions of using compressed and liquefied NG as transportation fuels by three heavyduty NG vehicles (NGV) types from a wells-to-wheels (WTW) perspective, using the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET®) model developed at Argonne National Laboratory. We reviewed recent work on quantifying methane leakagemore »« less

Decarbonization potential of on-road fuels and powertrains in the European Union and the United States: a well-to-wheels assessment

Journal Article Cai, Hao ; Prussi, Matteo ; Ou, Longwen ; ... - Sustainable Energy & Fuels

Transportation is fundamental for any modern economy, but its growing energy demand and the related climate impact call for urgent action. Life-cycle analysis (LCA) is a suitable approach to assessing the greenhouse gas (GHG) performance and decarbonization potential of transportation fuels and vehicle powertrains. Here, we assessed well-to-wheels (WTW) GHG emission reductions for a wide set of light-duty vehicle fuel and powertrain technologies used in the European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.) for their decarbonization potential. We focused on the similarities and differences of the results and the underlying methodologies and data of the two analyses. We evaluatedmore »« less
