Zastosowanie odnawialnych źródeł energii w transporcie

Aim of the study was to analyze the influence of renewable energy sources on the well-to-wheel CO2 emission of the electric driven vehicle, especially with respect to the Polish electric energy supply structure. The main reasons of growing hybrid and electric powered vehicles share in the market are: limited fos sil fuels sources, narrow emission standards, global warming effect. Well-to-wheel analysis of CO2 emission is a very reliable methodology which enables to compare various types of vehicle powertrain and fuels. Overall CO2 emission of the electric vehicle depends mainly on share of the renewable energy sources (RES) in the market. Authors conclude that in Polish conditions, where RES share is negligible, overall CO2 emission of electric vehicle is comparable with combustion engine powered one.
