How should car companies deal with the peak of carbon dioxide emissions?

It is the unshirkable responsibility of new energy vehicles and the whole new energy industry for car companies to actively respond to the severe test of carbon dioxide emission peak and carbon neutrality. Strive to approach and finally achieve "net zero emission".

"Peak CO2 emission" refers to China's commitment to keep CO2 emission from increasing before 2030, and then gradually reduce it after reaching the peak. "Carbon neutrality" refers to China's commitment to make efforts to offset carbon dioxide emissions and carbon dioxide absorbed through afforestation before 2060, so as to achieve "net zero emission" of carbon dioxide.

With the peak of carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality as the goal, the industrial implementation roadmap will be formulated to promote the technological innovation of new energy vehicles and the recycling of power batteries. Doing these jobs well, new energy vehicles will not only become the pioneer of low-carbon emission reduction in the automobile industry, but also become a model for the new energy industry to pursue the peak of carbon emissions.

fuel battery

Fuel cell vehicles refer to vehicles that use hydrogen, methanol and other fuels. As fuel, it generates current through chemical reaction and is driven by motor. The energy of its battery is directly converted into electric energy through the chemical action of hydrogen and oxygen, not through combustion.

The chemical reaction process of fuel cells will not produce harmful products, so fuel cell vehicles are pollution-free vehicles, and the energy conversion efficiency of fuel cells is 2~3 times higher than that of internal combustion engines. Therefore, from the aspects of energy utilization and environmental protection, the fuel cell vehicle is an ideal vehicle.

Single fuel cells must be combined into fuel cells in order to obtain the necessary power and meet the requirements of vehicle use.

In recent years, fuel cell technology has made great progress. World famous automobile manufacturers, such as DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Toyota and General Motors, have announced that they plan to put fuel cell vehicles on the market before 2004. Prototypes of fuel cell vehicles are being tested, and fuel cell-driven transport buses are undergoing demonstration projects in several cities in North America.

There are still technical challenges in the development of fuel cell vehicles, such as the integration of fuel cells, the improvement of fuel processors and auxiliary components of commercial electric vehicles. Automobile manufacturers are working hard to integrate parts and reduce the cost of parts, and have made remarkable progress.

Compared with traditional cars, fuel cell cars have the following advantages:

1, zero emission or near zero emission.

2. The water pollution caused by oil leakage is reduced.

3. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Improved fuel economy.

5. The combustion efficiency of the engine is improved.

6, smooth operation, no noise.
