Special Issue on Electric Vehicles in Climate Change and Energy Economics for Environmental Management
A new global agreement - the Glasgow Climate Pact - was reached at the COP26 summit. The agreement - although not legally binding - will set the global agenda on climate change for the next decade. It was agreed countries will meet again next year in Egypt for COP27 summit to pledge further cuts to emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) - a greenhouse gas which causes climate change to keep temperature rises within 1.5C - which scientists say is required to prevent a "climate catastrophe". Current pledges, if met, will only limit global warming to about 2.4C.
The transportation sector discharges more greenhouse gases than diverse sectors. According to a review published by EPA [Environmental Protection Agency at USA, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. The transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions (29% of 2019 greenhouse gas emissions in US), and over 90 percent of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum based, which includes primarily gasoline and diesel. Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks.
According to climatologists and economists for environmental sustainability, extensive utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) and charging EVs with renewable energy (RE) resources like sunlight, wind, and water plays a vital role in reducing emissions and climate change. In this special issue, we are inviting contribution for following topics but are not limited to the following:
- Safer infrastructures assessments to urban transport and climate solutions for the global economy and sustainability
- Evolving battery technologies for EVs, clean energy economy, and environmental impacts
- Efficient techniques to mitigate environmental and commercial implications of EVs with renewable energies
- New developments and control methods in recycling batteries for environmental pollution control and health
- Challenges and prospects of implementing zero-emission EVs with cost-effectiveness for sustainable applications
- Performance analysis of EVs with RE for energy security, climate targets, and economic development
- Policy measures to EVs for effective charging infrastructure, emissions standards, and management
- Recent and effective environmental management strategies in greenhouse gases reductions with circular economy
- Case studies on environmental life cycle assessment (E-LCA) of EVs for sustainable transportation and risk preventions
- Testbeds of evolving EVs, clean renewable energy, environmental applications, etc.,
