Título: | Quest for Sustainability: Life-Cycle Emissions Assessment of Electric Vehicles Considering Newer Li-Ion Batteries | Autor: | Almeida, Arminda Sousa, Nuno Coutinho-Rodrigues, João |
Palavras-chave: | life-cycle assessment; electric vehicles; Li-ion battery chemistries; electricity mix; greenhouse gas; air pollutants | Data: | 2019 | Editora: | MDPI | Projeto: | UID/Multi/00308/2019INESC-Coimbra R&D project “Alternative Fuel Vehicles”ject INESC-Coimbra R&D project “Alternative Fuel Vehicles” | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Sustainability (Switzerland) | Volume: | 11 | Número: | 8 | Resumo: | The number of battery electric vehicle models available in the market has been increasing, as well as their battery capacity, and these trends are likely to continue in the future as sustainable transportation goals rise in importance, supported by advances in battery chemistry and technology. Given the rapid pace of these advances, the impact of new chemistries, e.g., lithium-manganese rich cathode materials and silicon/graphite anodes, has not yet been thoroughly considered in the literature. This research estimates life cycle greenhouse gas and other air pollutants emissions of battery electric vehicles with di erent battery chemistries, including the above advances. The analysis methodology, which uses the greenhouse gases, regulated emissions, and energy use in transportation (GREET) life-cycle assessment model, considers 8 battery types, 13 electricity generation mixes with di erent predominant primary energy sources, and 4 vehicle segments (small, medium, large, and sport utility vehicles), represented by prototype vehicles, with both battery replacement and non-replacement during the life cycle. Outputs are expressed as emissions ratios to the equivalent petrol internal combustion engine vehicle and two-way analysis of variance is used to test results for statistical significance. Results show that newer Li-ion battery technology can yield significant improvements over older battery chemistries, which can be as high as 60% emissions reduction, depending on pollutant type and electricity generation mix. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/107394 | ISSN: | 2071-1050 | DOI: | 10.3390/su11082366 | Direitos: | openAccess |
