How Green are Electric or Hydrogen-Powered Cars?, 1st ed. 2016 Assessing GHG Emissions of Traffic in Spain SpringerBriefs in Energy Series
Auteurs : Montoya Sánchez de Pablo Jesús, Miravalles López María, Bret Antoine
Antoine C. Bret is Associate Professor at the Universidad Castilla La Mancha. His main research interests focus on theoretical plasma physics and astrophysics.
Antoine Bret has been teaching an introductory course for students in engineering, where he introduces the debates about energy and climate change and in particular their intimate catenation.
The present Brief is based on the Masters theses of María Miravalles López and Jesús Montoya Sánchez de Pablo, who investigated in their research how 'green' the traffic and transportation system in Spain would effectively be if all cars were to be replaced by electrical or hydrogen fueled cars. On this basis, a scalable and adaptable model was developed and different scenarios tested.
Compares the indirect greenhouse gas emissions from electrical or hydrogen powered cars with oil fueled cars
Develops different scenarios for the conversion to a greener traffic model
Presents an explanation accessible for every reader, even with little technical training, and a model ready to adapt to other countries
Provides the answer to a question many people have, correcting a common misconception of GHG emission free electric cars
