Novel short-term national strategies to promote the use of renewable hydrogen in road transport: A life cycle assessment of passenger car fleets partially fuelled with hydrogen
“…Additionally, Candelaresi et al [9] presented an energy analysis combined with a comparative environmental life cycle assessment aiming to help policy-makers implement well-supported strategies of the use of hydrogen in road transport. Moreover, Wang and Tang [10] systematically analysed previously published papers to evaluate the environmental efficiency of new energy vehicles, concluding that electric vehicles pollute more than actually estimated-a conclusion we also reached in one of our previous studies [11].…”

“…The research supports a theory of continental effort to develop an alternative to conventional fuels, and break the monopoly that hydrocarbons have in industrial dynamics and mobility. Hydrogen is sustained in multiple regulatory initiatives (i.e., 4,6,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,20,21,27,31,32,3,34,35,36,37,38,40,60,68 and 70 in Appendix A) and financing vehicles to evolve as the main competitor to petrol and gases. In our previous study [11], we stated that transportation will include hydrogen-powered vehicles as an alternative to internal combustion and electric engines.…”
The topic investigated in this article is a comparison, contrast, and integration effort of European strategies for sustainable development with the evolving market initiatives that are beginning to fuel the fourth industrial revolution. Several regulatory initiatives from continental bodies come into effect to radically change access to finances for business development, based on sustainability goals, and an analysis of the legislation and trends becomes essential for an effective pivot tactic in the face of adversity, as well as change management policies to pre-emptively adapt and perform. The general research question is “what the strategic tools are best employed to overcome the hurdles laid forth by the drastic changes legally required for a sustainable future?” The research methods include a quantitative analysis of norms, regulations, and legislation, including strategic initiatives circulated in the European Union governmental bodies, integrated with qualitative research of the literature. The study finds and draws synergies between national strategies that have recently been drafted or are currently evolving with sustainability-centric initiatives such as the hydrogen initiative, the nuclear initiative, the natural gas initiative, the renewables initiative, the synthetics, and biomass initiative, the ESG initiative, the digital initiative. The findings are to contribute to the business administration field by providing an appropriate image of the organizational design model in the sustainability era, and a strategy framework to build the optimum long-term vision founded on continental regulatory initiatives that have come into effect.

“…In 2015, 196 parties adopted the Paris Agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, a legally binding international climate change treaty with the overarching goal of "limiting global average temperature increases to well below 2 • C below pre-industrial levels" and to work towards "limiting temperature increases to 1.5 • C above pre-industrial levels" [3]. In this context, Europe set a target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 [4]. On 22 September 2020, Chinese President Xi Jinping formally announced China's "dual carbon" targets at the 75th United Nations General Assembly.…”
Global energy and environmental issues are becoming increasingly serious, and the promotion of clean energy and green transportation has become a common goal for all countries. In the logistics industry, traditional fuels such as diesel and natural gas can no longer meet the requirements of energy and climate change. Hydrogen fuel cell logistics vehicles are expected to become the mainstream vehicles for future logistics because of their “zero carbon” advantages. The GREET model is computer simulation software developed by the Argonne National Laboratory in the USA. It is extensively utilized in research pertaining to the energy and environmental impact of vehicles. This research study examines four types of logistics vehicles: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), electric vehicles, LNG-fueled vehicles, and diesel-fueled vehicles. Diesel-fueled logistics vehicles are currently the most abundant type of vehicle in the logistics sector. LNG-fueled logistics vehicles are considered as a short-term alternative to diesel logistics vehicles, while electric logistics vehicles are among the most popular types of new-energy vehicles currently. We analyze and compare their well-to-wheels (WTW) energy consumption and emissions with the help of GREET software and conduct lifecycle assessments (LCAs) of the four types of vehicles to analyze their energy and environmental benefits. When comparing the energy consumption of the four vehicle types, electric logistics vehicles (EVs) have the lowest energy consumption, with slightly lower energy consumption than FCVs. When comparing the nine airborne pollutant emissions of the four vehicle types, the emissions of the FCVs are significantly lower than those of spark-ignition internal combustion engine logistics vehicles (SI ICEVs), compression-ignition direct-injection internal combustion engine logistics vehicles (CIDI ICEVs), and EVs. This study fills a research gap regarding the energy consumption and environmental impact of logistics vehicles in China.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
