Climate Change CO2 Power Grid Study 
Blink Charging
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023
As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources.

The study was published online 24 May in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. The study examined the fuel-cycle CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions of EVs in China in both current (2008) and future (2030) periods and compared them with those of conventional gasoline vehicles and gasoline hybrids.

Its first commercial-scale production plant obtains carbon dioxide from gas emissions from a geothermal power plant and hydrogen via electrolysis of water using renewable sources of energy from the Icelandic power grid (from hydro, geothermal and wind sources). —Chen et al. Delving into the emissions side, Chen et al.

The integration of EVs aligns with the global imperative to mitigate climate change and reduce the environmental footprint of urban transportation. Studies suggest that, when considering the entire lifecycle — from manufacturing to end-of-life disposal — EVs often have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles.
