The introduction of electric vehicles on a large scale in the UK can only have a beneficial effect on CO 2 emissions if low-carbon electricity, universal broadband provision and smart grids are in place to support the transition, according to a new report published by the UK Royal Academy of Engineering.

They’ve been studying up on renewable energy, hydrogen power, and electric vehicles, preparing for the big day in April when their remote-controlled vehicles will rumble for 4 hours in Gladstone, a port city in Queensland. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot.

JUNE 7, 2023

An electric vehicle is a type of vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion instead of an internal combustion engine that runs on fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel. Electric vehicles are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries or obtained from other sources such as hydrogen fuel cells.

In mid-2022, the International Renewable Energy Agency counted 32 countries that had adopted hydrogen strategies and 11 others that were preparing such plans. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. Why all the hype about hydrogen? And the world is going to need a lot more of it.

Department of Energy , the energy loss in an EV drive system is only around 15 to 20 percent, compared to 64 to 75 percent in internal combustion engines. To curb these emissions even further, we need to build more power plants and facilities that create and use renewable energy rather than fossil fuels. According to the U.S.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be plugged into the electric grid – such as a normal 120 volt household outlet - to boost mileage. This will allow the vehicles to operate on emissions-free battery power, reducing the amount of fuel utilized and significantly decreasing the release of harmful pollutants, including greenhouse gases.

Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term.

BEVs run entirely on a battery-powered electric drivetrain. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. This battery then provides power to the electric motors to run the car. .

Whilst hydrogen today is extracted from natural gas and is already a global, multi-billion dollar industry used in a wide range of industrial applications, it is also produced from renewable sources like solar, wind or biogas without the need to use fossil fuels. Of course, this also has the merit of producing so-called “green hydrogen”.
