“…According to recent evaluations, the transportation sector is the principal emitter of CO 2 [1]. The use of EVs leads to a reduction of about 17-30% in greenhouse gases with respect to ICE-propelled vehicles (evaluated among their lifecycles) [2][3][4]. The percentages are meant to increase thanks to the expansion of EVs in the EU, as depicted from the trend in Figure 1 [5].…”

The ongoing spread of electric sustainable mobility is transforming the local ways of transport in metropolitan areas. This is meant to be extended outside of big cities in the near future thanks to new technological developments. Little towns should adapt to these changes, as they are located geographically far from the big cities and are generally characterized by low economic and demographic indicators. Hence, little towns must keep pace with these changes in mobility to avoid being isolated from the main cities in a country. People living in the countryside usually move toward big cities for various reasons, either related to work or living necessities. Therefore, it must be possible to conduct usual displacements through the use of electric vehicles (EVs), i.e., reaching the destinations and supplying the batteries through charging infrastructures. This paper studies the full implementation of electric mobility applied in the case of Cuenca, a city located in middle Spain. A brief geographical context is provided, together with the routes and destinations of interest considered. Then, different EVs are considered and an analytical vehicle model is provided. The model was exploited to simulate the electrical energy demand to reach the destinations chosen; the results allow comparing the performances offered by different types of EVs. This aspect is then considered as the basis to propose further upgrades in the charging infrastructures where needed, to comply with the widespread use of electric mobility.

“…Air pollution caused by traffic is posing increasing threats to the health of Hong Kong citizens, and has attracted public attention [4,5]. A densely populated modern city such as Hong Kong needs a more environmentally friendly transportation system to reduce or even eliminate air pollution in sustainable urban development [6,7]. Therefore, vehicle emissions must be controlled and reduced by implementing cleaner technologies.…”

“…Therefore, vehicle emissions must be controlled and reduced by implementing cleaner technologies. Boasting zero air pollution on the road, EVs are the most promising alternative means of transportation [7][8][9]. By reducing carbon emissions and other pollutants, EVs have a positive impact on the environment.…”

“…The development of new technologies for EVs can broaden the market, and the market demand also promotes the emergence of new technologies [12,13]. The mass marketization of EVs still faces several technical challenges, including driver range anxiety, insufficient charging facilities, and grid stress [7,8,14]. The development of some emerging technologies such as wireless charging, smart power distribution, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home systems, connected vehicles, and self-driving plays an important role in solving the existing technical bottlenecks of EVs and promoting the attractiveness of EVs to consumers.…”

Road vehicles are responsible for air pollution in Hong Kong, and electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles as the city is transitioning to clean energy. In this work, EV adoption in Hong Kong is investigated and analyzed, including the global EV markets, present EV status in Hong Kong, local challenges facing EV development, suggestions for EV promotion in Hong Kong, emerging technologies, and decommissioning of batteries and EVs. The challenges of EVs include insufficient charging infrastructures, inadequate management of public charging facilities, difficulties in EV repair and maintenance, “dead mileage” during charging, unacceptable long charging times, and limited commercial EV models. Strategies such as providing incentives and bonuses for commercial EVs, offering high-power quick-charging facilities, actively developing commercial EVs, installing more charging infrastructures for private EVs, building connections among stakeholders, encouraging the participation of the private sector to promote fee-based services, and supporting the development of innovative technologies should be implemented to promote EVs in Hong Kong. Emerging technologies for EVs such as wireless charging, smart power distribution, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home systems, connected vehicles, and self-driving are discussed. Eco-friendly decommissioning of EV batteries can be realized by recycling and second-life applications. This paper serves as a reference and guide for the sustainable and smart evolution of the transportation sector in Hong Kong and other global large cities.

“…Many countries have set ambitious targets for the transition to electrically powered vehicles [1]. For example, the target is 30% of all new vehicles by 2030 in India [2], 50% by 2030 in the USA, and 100% by 2035 in the EU [3]. Even so, it will be 2-3 decades before the global transportation fleet is no longer reliant on the internal combustion engine, and perhaps even longer if e-fuels (hydrocarbons manufactured by reaction of waste CO 2 with green hydrogen) are proven to have an advantage over batteries in terms of lifecycle CO 2 emissions [3].…”

The Effect of Potassium Inclusion in a Silver Catalyst for N2O-Mediated Oxidation of Soot in Oxidising Exhaust Gases

2022

It has previously been shown that an Ag/CZA catalyst can simultaneously remove NOx and soot from an oxygen-rich exhaust gas at low temperatures, by utilising the N2O generated preferentially during incomplete NOx reduction. Here, we examine the effect of reformulating the catalyst to include potassium, which is a known promoter of soot combustion. On including 2 wt% K, NOx-reduction occurs both in the absence and presence of soot, but the N2O formed does not play a part in the oxidation of soot. At higher K loadings (5, 10 and 15 wt%), NOx reduction is almost completely disabled, and only contributes to the activity of the catalyst containing 5 wt% K when tested in the presence of soot. At a loading of 20 wt% K, the potassium phase segregates, leaving NO and NH3 adsorption sites exposed. In the absence of soot, this catalyst can remove NOx by reduction on the Ag/CZA component and through nitration of the potassium phase. Although the presence of potassium lowers the onset temperature for soot oxidation to within the range of NOx reduction over Ag/CZA, the mobile K species prevents the desirable C+N2O reaction.
