“…Scholars have used the LCA approach to study the energy consumption and emissions of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Wei et al studied the effects of driving cycles and hydrogen production pathways on the fuel economy and GHG emissions over the lifecycle of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Korea [34]. Lu et al conducted a lifecycle assessment of the energy efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China, and the research results showed that the wheel-to-wheel energy efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles ranged from 6.8% to 29.2%, depending to a large extent on the source of hydrogen and the mode of transport [35].…”

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.

“…At present, HFCVs have shown a potential for commercialization. However, the high storage and transportation costs of compressed hydrogen and liquid hydrogen have limited the commercialization of hydrogen fuel cells [4]. Hydrogen production from the reforming of liquid fuels is an alternative way for hydrogen storage and transportation.…”

Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts were prepared for online methanol steam reforming (MSR) using a conventional sol–gel method in this study. The optimal preparation conditions, including the calcination temperature, Cu loading, molar ratio of citric acid to metal ions (CA/M), and pH, were investigated. CZA50 exhibited the highest MSR activity among all catalysts. It was prepared at a calcination temperature of 350 °C; Cu, Zn, and Al molar fractions of 50%, 30%, and 20%; CA/M of 1.5; and without adjusting pH. Furthermore, a modified sol–gel method was proposed to enhance the mechanical strength of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts by using γ-Al2O3 powders as catalyst precursors instead of aluminum nitrates. In this modified method, part of Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions were impregnated firstly on γ-Al2O3 powders, and then the remaining metal ions formed sol–gel with citric acid. MCZA-0.25 catalysts prepared by this modified method showed superior catalytic activity at an Al/(Cu+Zn) ratio of 0.25. The methanol conversion rates of CZA50, MCZA-025, and CZA-Commercial were 82.9%, 79.4%, and 74.7% at the temperature of 200 °C and methanol liquid phase space velocity (LHSV) of 1.0/h, respectively. The average crushing strength of CZA50, MCZA-0.25, and CZA-Commercial were measured as 28 N/cm, 37 N/cm, and 32 N/cm, respectively.
