Decarbonizing China’s road transport sector: strategies toward carbon neutrality
2022
Author(s): Xue L, Liu D
Within the transport sector, road transport represented the largest share 84.1 percent of transport related GHG emissions in China in 2014 (MEE 2020a). To meet its carbon neutrality goal, China’s road transport sector needs explicit sectoral emission reduction targets, actionable strategies, and cost-effective policy instruments. This study examines how the transport sector might be decarbonized in China.
Modelling Aluminium Energy Storage Systems Comprising Ionic Liquid and Aqueous Electrolyte Cells: Case Studies in High-Performance Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Zhu T, Wills RGA, Lot R
This paper models hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) composed of ionic liquid Al-ion batteries (ILAIBs) and aqueous Al-ion batteries (AAIBs) for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion. In this paper, Al-based chemistries are substituted for one or both of the Li-ion battery (LIB) and supercapacitor (SC) components of the benchmark LIB-SC HESS.
