Environmental life cycle assessment of electric vehicles in Poland and the Czech Republic
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The aim of the paper is to analyze the life cycle of an electric vehicle (EV) in Poland and the Czech Republic, paying special attention to the production of electricity to charge the EV batteries. The analyzes include both, current systems of electricity production that is used in the power grid and scenarios of the forecasted changes in energy systems in the analyzed countries. To date, the results of environmental analyzes of the EV in accordance with the Well-To-Wheel (WTW) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods are presented in the literature; however, there is a lack of environmental analysis of electricity generated in different countries, which is then used to supply the EV batteries. The papers focus primarily on one category of environmental impact, namely the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Numerous LCA analyzes carried out so far were based on a ready set of data on energy production used in the EVs. This paper presents the results of comparative analyzes of the use of energy from the electricity network to charge batteries in electric vehicles in Poland and the Czech Republic, in accordance with national electricity production systems while taking into consideration forecasts of electricity production in Poland and the Czech Republic for the years 2015-2050. In addition, a comparative analysis of the electrilec vehic and passenger vehicle with an internal combustion engine (ICEV) was carried out. The conducted analyzes showed that the environmental burden of electric vehicles in Poland is higher than in the Czech Republic for each impact category, which is primarily related to the type of electricity used to charge EV batteries. The energy system in Poland is dominated by coal-fired power plants, which entails high GHG emissions, while in the Czech Republic nuclear power plants and lignite-fired power plants predominate. Comparative analysis of EV and ICEV showed that GHG emissions by EVs, both in Poland and the Czech Republic at present and in the future will be lower than in the case of ICEVs. It was also shown that the main determinant of the environmental impact of electric vehicles is the type of electricity used to charge EV batteries. Increasing the number of renewable energy sources and nuclear energy will result in even lower environmental burdens associated with the production of electricity, which is used for EVs supply.
