Energy World May 2010
Electric vehicles (EVs) are being heralded as an essential component of a more sustainable transport system, but will they really have an impact on carbon emissions? Unless their uptake is matched with a large increase in the amount of renewable electricity generation, the answer is no, and emissions could increase with more EVs on the road. See page 15 for a look at a recent study on the issue.
Elsewhere in the issue, and also on a transport energy theme, we look to the skies for options on low carbon aviation fuels (page 12). Other features examine what’s in store for participants in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme as procedures are tightened over the coming years, discuss the issues around natural gas storage in the UK, and describe the EI’s human factors technical work programme. Last, we report on themain UK political parties’ plans for energy policy, as revealed at the first meeting of the new UK Member Committee of the World Energy Council.
