Low-carbon propulsion refers to the application of technologies in vehicles and transportation systems to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. This approach encompasses various technologies, including electric propulsion systems, hydrogen fuel cells, biofuels, and advanced hybrid technologies. The significant expansion of their use is driven by several factors, including increasing global environmental awareness, stringent governmental regulations limiting CO2 emissions, technological advancements making low-carbon solutions more viable, and growing consumer demand for sustainable transportation options.
Despite the benefits, challenges, including a lack of infrastructure, such as charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen refueling stations, can limit the practicality and convenience of using such vehicles. Additionally, the initial cost of low-carbon vehicles can be higher than their traditional counterparts, although this is often offset by lower operating costs over time. Concerns about sourcing raw materials for batteries in EVs and the overall sustainability of biofuels also pose challenges. Furthermore, the ongoing innovation in battery technology and hydrogen fuel cells is expected to make these options more efficient, affordable, and accessible. Additionally, integrating renewable energy sources with the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles can further reduce the carbon footprint of transportation. As awareness and demand continue to grow, the adoption of low-carbon propulsion technologies is poised to reshape the transportation landscape, contributing significantly to global efforts to combat climate change and transition towards more sustainable economies.
