This is a short presentation to kick off Leuven Climate Week 2016. Or how fossil transportation systems are ripe for disruption and how sustainable transportation systems help reduce carbon and air pollution impact, but also *improve* people's mobility and lives.

Scenario’s voor een
koolstofarm België
tegen 2050
Samenvatting van de bevindingen
54. Prognose 2050 (KUL, Poelmans, 2010)
In 1976 was 7,2% van de Vlaamse oppervlakte bebouwd. Eind jaren tachtig nam dat
toe tot 12% en begin 2000 zaten we al aan 18%. Als de bebouwing tegen het huidige
tempo doorgaat, dan zal in 2050 maar liefst 41,5% van Vlaanderen bebouwd zijn
(KUL, Poelmans, 2010), …
… een groot deel daarvan alleen met de auto bereikbaar, met de stedelijke
leefbaarheid als eerste slachtoffer.

81. Well to wheel efficiencies
power plants, is about 41%.21
With this efficiency, our electric car has a well-to-wheel energy efficiency of 0.83
km/MJ, still the most efficient car on the road.
Of course, fuel-cell cars are also multi-fuel cars, since hydrogen can be produced from water using electricity
from any source. But this is a very inefficient way to use electricity. Consider the following chart:
Hydrogen Production
Battery Electric Car
Grid-to-Motor Efficiency = 86%
Fuel-Cell Car
Grid-to-Motor Efficiency = 25%
Electricity
from Grid
Inverter &
Electric Motor

Li-ion Battery

70% efficient
H2 Compressor
90% efficient
H2 Fuel Cell
40% efficient
Electricity
from Grid
Charger
93% efficient
Inverter &
Electric Motor
in Car
It is obvious that when we start with electricity (however it is produced), it is hard to beat the 86% efficiency of
the currently available lithium-ion batteries and chargers. Even when we assume extremely high efficiencies for
electrolysis, compression, and the fuel cell, the fuel-cell car requires more than three times as much electricity
from the grid to drive the same distance.
