摘要: |
Various fuels are being proposed for use in fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Some of these fuels will be able to power advanced internal combustion engine technologies as well. These fuels are made through different fuel production pathways, resulting in different energy efficiencies and emissions from feedstock recovery to vehicle operation. To fully analyze energy and emission impacts of vehicle/fuel systems, a full fuel-cycle analysis from energy feedstock recovery (wells) to fuel use by vehicle (wheels)--needs to be conducted for fuel/vehicle systems. The Global Alternative Propulsion Center (GAPC) of General Motors Corporation (GM) commissioned the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to conduct a study to evaluate energy and emission impacts of producing different transportation fuels from wells to fuels available in vehicle tanks (well-to-tank (WTT) analysis). Three energy companies BP, ExxonMobil, and Shell participated in the study by providing input and reviewing Argonne's results. This report presents methodologies, assumptions, and results of Argonne's study. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Department of Energy, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
