Abstract
Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles have attracted significant attention around the world recent years as the main form of hydrogen transportation. Chinese government in September 2020 has introduced corresponding supporting policies. In particular, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration is the first batch of pilot cities. To research the development of hydrogen transportation and carbon emission reduction paths in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, we construct LEAP-Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration Hydrogen Transportation model, and simulate it based on the scenario analysis method. The results show that the total hydrogen demand reaches 7,975,860 tonnes in the year 2060. And the freight transportation sector is the largest hydrogen consumer in transportation. For carbon emission reduction, transportation sector under different scenarios could achieve net-zero emission in year 2060, with total emission reduction 431.19 million metric tonnes. We suggest that the promotion of hydrogen transportation should be carried out in stages. Early large-scale development of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles in sectors such as passenger cars and specialized vehicles is not significant in emission reduction, and it is more appropriate to start with medium and large-sized commercial vehicles. Gradually extend to the whole transportation sector after the technology of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles is mature and the supply capacity of clean hydrogen is improved.
期刊介绍:
Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques.
Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
