ICCT LCA study finds only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways

Green Car Congress

The results show there is no realistic pathway to full decarbonization of internal combustion engine vehicles, and that only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways. This is especially important for assessing the GHG emissions of PHEVs. Source: The ICCT.

List of The Best 10 Alternative Fuels for Cars that Could Replace Gasoline

Get Electric Vehicle

Which are the alternative fuels for cars that could replace gasoline in vehicle? It is a liquid alcohol fuel produced from a variety of feedstocks, including natural gas, coal, biomass, or even carbon dioxide. Methanol can be used in internal combustion engines either directly or as a blend with gasoline.

They also note that large-scale production of synthetic fuels or hydrogen from coal or gas offers the potential for GHG emissions reduction—but only if CO 2 can be captured and stored. The hybridization option investigated brings an additional energy and GHG reduction of about 30% for gasoline and 20% for diesel hybrid vehicles.

Swiss WTW study finds important role for alternative fuels as well as alt drivetrains in move to low-emissions vehicles

Green Car Congress

WTW energy demand and GHG emissions for EV and PHEV drivetrains for various electricity sources; gasoline ICE vehicle is solid square, hybrid the hollow square. First, it considers the performance of both mature and novel hydrogen production processes, multiple electricity generation pathways and several alternative drivetrains.
