Hydrogen in Automotive: LCA Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study presents a comprehensive cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), providing a comparative assessment against alternative and fossil fuel-driven counterparts. The research focuses on hydrogen as a fuel source, emphasizing two key production methods: natural gas reforming and water electrolysis. The scope of the study is set to the Czech Republic environment. Diverse sources of electric generation, such as wind and photovoltaics, are considered to supply the electrolysis process. The energy source mix predictions are set to year 2030 up to 2050. The feasibility of transitioning towards greater utilization of renewable energy sources within the context of privately owned vehicles is investigated in this work. Specifically, the study examines the exact part of the vehicle life cycle, starting with production to the use phase, with a consideration of the car’s lifetime, aiming to provide a nuanced understanding of their environmental footprint and clear comparability with each other. This study highlights the significant potential for reducing the environmental impacts of personal vehicles through the usage of hydrogen. With FCEVs emitting zero direct emissions, the total environmental impact is directly tied to the process of fuel production. Producing hydrogen through electrolysis, particularly when powered by photovoltaic or wind energy can significantly lower its emissions, especially in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
