Low Emission Technologies Vehicle Emission Toolkit May 2009
Deployment Opportunity defined by King Review focus on electrification of transport opportunity Achieved by EV or hydrogen
“Window of Opportunity” inherent to King Review proposition ( window) 5% car sales ZEV\PZEV80% car sales ZEV\PZEV
Low carbon technology guide User friendly, informative guide for alternative fuel options –Hybrids –Electric vehicles –Natural gas/biogas –Hydrogen –Conventional engine
Technology Information sheets
Hybrids Combination of 2 power sources e.g. Petrol combustion & electric 3 types of hybrid: –Parallel –Series –Series parallel Plug in hybrids give extended range on electric mode
Hybrid vehicles (Plug in hybrid)
Electric vehicles Cenex electric vehicle trials: –Smart –Misubishi MiEV –Reva G-Wiz Can be charged from most household plugs Zero tailpipe emissions
Cenex EV trials
Natural gas/biomethane Biomethane can be produced from anaerobically digested organic waste Natural gas available as a fossil fuel
Hydrogen & fuel cells Can be used in ICE as a gaseous fuel Can be used in a fuel cell to generate electricity FC tailpipe emissions are only water
Hydrogen vehicles Hydrogen project Hydrogen ICE Transit van Fuel cell vehicle (microcab)
Vehicle Emission Toolkit Builds on low emission vehicle demonstration & deployment projects in UK Explain how new technology works and timelines for market readiness Create a fleet managers toolkit looking at emission benefits of technology options – NO2, PM10, CO2 Assess fully allocated costs of options eg damage costs Project partners include Greenwich, City, Hillingdon, Wigan, Leeds, Sheffield, Cenex Defra AQ Grant Funding application Scoping, data gathering and reporting Toolkit dissemination end 2009
