Summary

• Achieving a goal of 100% renewable transportation in the City of Vancouver (CoV) by 2050 is the most challenging task (vs. buildings etc.).

• Efficiency, reducing vehicle km travelled, new mobility concepts are required.

• Transportation vehicles will need to be a combination of battery electric, fuel cell electric, and biofuel internal combustion. Electric vehicles are not likely practical or economic in the 2050 timeframe for larger vehicles or heavy duty transport.

• Fuel sources need to become fully renewable. • Relatively easy for electricity and hydrogen to be fully renewable and economic in

BC because of the large amount of hydroelectric• More difficult for biofuels because conventional biofuels have many issues and

advanced biofuels to address those issues have uncertain availability

• There is worldwide competition for renewable transportation vehicles, and Vancouver will need to become one of the leading regions to acquire sufficient vehicle supply

• Policy support must be strong, aggressive, complete, and leading. Both demand and supply (i.e. ZEV mandate) policies are required. While the CoVis not responsible for all policies, the CoV must lead and influence all policies to come together in an integrated and strong way.

Coal, Natural gas, Nuclear?, some Biogas. Fossil fuel production.

Biodiesel Waste fats or renewable oils + Renewable methanol

Fossil fuel inputs: e.g. most methanol is from natural gas

• There are different definitions of what is a renewable fuel• A complete renewable definition considers the primary energy source and all

inputs in the production chain• Worldwide renewable fuel standard policies are evolving and becoming more

sustainable, i.e. in the EU:• http://ec.europa.eu/energy/en/topics/renewable-energy/biofuels/sustainability-

California Marc Jacobson 2050 Scenario

Marc Jacobson et al, Stanford, UC Davis, etc. 35

No biofuels

Transportation by 100% EV, battery or fuel cell, cryo-H2 aircraft

SysEne: No biofuels is far too optimistic for heavy duty, marine, aircraft

Liquid Biofuel Pathways

Staffan Lundgren/Volvo 2014 36

An energy carrier that can bring high Diesel internal combustion engine energy efficiency, independent of the fossil or renewable origin (source to wheel)

Biofuels

• Pros• The Only practical non-fossil fuels for most aircraft, most heavy industry, and

most marine

• Cons• Acceptability issues

• Competition with food• Habitat erosion• Water usage• Soil erosion• Many biofuels have significant fossil fuel inputs to attain yield and economics (fertilizer,

pesticides, production, processing• Energy Return on Investment is low, and sometimes negative

• Some regions do not consider conventional biofuels to be renewable

• Advanced biofuels are in development targeting some of these challenges but it is uncertain when they can be available

8-State ZEV Action Plan

58

• Support ZEV commercialization through consistent statewide building codes and standards for

installing EVSE, streamlined metering options for homes equipped with EVSE, opportunities to

reduce vehicle operating costs, increased electric system efficiency through time-of-use electricity

rates and net metering for electric vehicles, and integrating ZEVs with renewable energy initiatives;

• Establish ZEV purchase targets for governmental agency fleets, explore opportunities for

coordinated vehicle and fueling station equipment procurement, work to provide public access to

government fleet fueling stations, and include commitments to use ZEVs in state contracts with

auto dealers and car rental companies where appropriate

• Evaluate the need for, and effectiveness of, monetary incentives to reduce the upfront purchase

price of ZEVs as well as non-monetary incentives, such as high occupancy vehicle lane access,

reduced tolls, and preferential parking, and pursue these incentives as appropriate;

• Work to develop uniform standards to promote ZEV consumer acceptance and awareness, industry

compliance, and economies of scale, including adopting universal signage, common methods of

payment and interoperability of EVSE networks, and reciprocity among states for non-monetary

ZEV incentives;

• Cooperate with vehicle manufacturers, electricity and hydrogen providers, the fueling infrastructure

industry, corporate fleet owners, financial institutions, and others to encourage ZEV market growth;

• Share research and develop a coordinated education and outreach campaign to highlight the

benefits of ZEVs, including collaboration with related national and regional initiatives; and

• Assess and develop potential deployment strategies and infrastructure requirements for the

commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
