Abstract
Fuel cell vehicle and battery electric vehicle are two environmentally benign
vehicle technology types possibly meeting the zero-emission regulations in the
future. The premise is they can achieve parity with conventional vehicle both
environmentally and economically. Besides, it is necessary to distinguish which
technology is more suitable in China's current and future context. This paper
compares their cost-effectiveness for reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
examining the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of conventional gasoline
vehicle, battery electric vehicle and fuel cell vehicle in China's energy
context under three different scenarios. The results indicate that under the
500km drive range, fuel cell vehicles are less competitive than battery electric
vehicles currently. Fuel cell vehicles generate much more greenhouse gas
emissions than battery vehicles and conventional gasoline vehicles. While with
the optimization of energy context, fuel cell vehicles can gain competitiveness
with battery electric vehicles in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, and with
mass production as well as fuel cell system cost reduction, fuel cell vehicles
can realize a better cost-effectiveness. Based on this analysis, it is
recommended that the energy context should be optimized before deploying the
fuel cell vehicles on a large scale in China. Technology enhancement both in
hydrogen production and fuel cell, as well as manufacture optimization for fuel
cell systems are equally essential in improving its cost-effectiveness.
