原标题：欧洲向使用液体燃料的电动汽车过渡

中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS网站2月28日伦敦报道 业内人士本周表示，在向电动汽车（EVs）过渡的过程中，液态燃料（如从非食品生物质和合成燃料中提取的第二代生物燃料）的作用将是关键，同时实现一个二氧化碳（CO2）排放较低的交通业。

在伦敦举行的知识产权周第三天也是最后一天的会谈结束时，进行了几次小组讨论，评估交通运输的低排放途径。

专题介绍包括小组所称的由公共和私营业倡议领导的行业努力，目的是使道路运输、航运和航空业脱碳。

小组成员一致认为，电气化仍然是所有三个行业的主要目标，但液体燃料将在过渡时期发挥关键作用。

随着技术进步和大规模生产预计将降低这两种道路运输形式的成本，氢燃料电池汽车在未来十年内将与电动汽车（EVs）一起增长。

氢燃料电池汽车因其储能特性而被特别指出有潜力用于卡车等重型道路运输车辆。

氢的易爆性要求特定的储存罐保持零下253摄氏度的温度，这一问题被认为是原始设备制造商（OEMs）需要克服的一个主要障碍，以便更广泛地实施这项技术。

会谈还承认，目前缺乏广泛实施电动汽车的基础设施存在差距，并指出，在消费者转向电动汽车之前，整个欧洲的公共和私营业务都需要大量投资。

由于世界上大部分锂来自刚果民主共和国（DRC）的矿山，因此还需要解决电池组锂资源的可持续性问题。

另一方面，航空业已经在欧洲和美国使用混合生物燃料进行飞行的前沿，目前正在探索实现规模化的技术，为未来几十年的电气化飞机铺平道路。

清洁器的使用仍然是航运业的一大障碍，根据1月1日生效的IMO 2020条例，预计航运业将增加低硫燃料的使用。

Europe transition to EVs to be aided by liquid fuels - IP Week panels

The role of liquid fuels such as second-generation biofuels derived from non-food biomass and synthetic fuels will be key in the transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) to achieve in the meantime a transport sector with lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, industry players said this week.

The third and final day of IP Week talks held in London concluded with several panel discussions assessing low emission pathways for transport.

Presentations included what the panel described as industry efforts helmed by both public and private sector initiatives to decarbonise road transport, shipping and aviation sectors.

There was resounding agreement among the panellists that electrification remains the primary target for all three sectors, but liquid fuels are set to play a key role in the transition period.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were touted to grow along with electric vehicles (EVs) in the coming decade as technological advancements and mass production is expected to lower costs for both forms of road transport.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were singled out for its potential to be used in heavy duty road transport vehicles such as trucks for its energy storage properties.

Concerns surrounding hydrogen’s explosive nature, which requires specific storage tanks to maintain its minus 253 degree Celsius temperature, was singled out as a major obstacle that needs to be overcome by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in order to implement the technology more widely.

The talks also acknowledged the current gap that exists in the lack of infrastructure currently in place to implement wide-scale implementation of EVs, stating that significant investment is required by both the public and private sectors across Europe before consumers shift towards EVs.

Sustainability issues surrounding lithium sourcing for battery-packs also needs to be addressed, as most of the world’s lithium is derived from the mines in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The aviation sector, on the other hand, is already at the forefront of using biofuel blends for conducting flights in Europe and in the US, and is currently exploring bringing to scale technologies that can pave the path for electrified airplanes in the next few decades.

Scrubbers usage remains a major obstacle for the shipping industry, which is expected to increase its usage of low sulphur fuel on the back of the IMO 2020 regulations that came into force on 1 January.
