All transportation-related sectors, such as automotive and aeronautics, are therefore under increasing pressure to innovate and adapt, and find ways to reduce their carbon footprint.<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>These sectors need to take steps toward decarbonisation, not only to address society\u2019s expectations of a more sustainable future, but also to meet environmental impact reduction targets set by the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overwhelming-electrification-for-now\"><strong>Overwhelming electrification&#8230;for now<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common market reaction to this challenge is to move toward electrification, replacing internal combustion engines (ICEs) with electric, with batteries as a sole energy source. Considerably more efficient than their thermal counterparts, electrical engines generate nothing in the way of \u2019tailpipe emissions\u2019 and can be 100% clean if green energy is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automotive industry in particular has seen a significant shift toward electric vehicles (EVs), assisted by considerable financial support from governments. For the time being, this shift is largely focused on personal vehicles and some buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adoption of electrification in larger commercial vehicles such as trucks, construction machinery, and agricultural vehicles, is currently hindered by certain battery-specific challenges like poor gravimetric energy density (which means generating enough energy would add too battery much weight), and the length of time it takes to recharge. An alternative clean approach has been exploring hybrid electrical architecture, using hydrogen fuel cells to generate electrical power in what is known as a Fuel Cell Electrical Vehicle (FCEV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-evs-and-fcevs-in-the-aviation-industry\"><strong>EVs and FCEVs in the aviation industry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no reason batteries couldn\u2019t be used for light aircraft flying short to medium distances, and for Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicles (EVTOLs) \u2013 in fact a number of early-stage electric vehicles already exist in these areas. However, the poor gravimetric energy density (MJ\/kg) of current battery technology compared to other energy sources means electrification is not yet an appropriate solution for use in larger commercial aircraft. It&#8217;s also likely some smaller aircraft could be FCEVs. Again, though, the poor volumetric energy density of hydrogen, even at liquid stage, means the technology couldn\u2019t be used for anything larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, while it tested the possibilities and limitations of a hybrid-electric aircraft propulsion system, Airbus and Rolls Royce made the joint decision to bring their flagship E-Fan X demonstrator project to an end after three years in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-insights-into-fuel-types\">ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ into fuel types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However electrification is not the only game in town. Internal combustion engines may still remain relevant, if we are using them to combust hydrogen rather than fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high volumetric energy density, due to long carbon chains and reasonable gravimetric energy density, means fossil fuel has been best-in-class since the end of the nineteenth century. But the combustion of carbon chains generates CO2, which makes it worst-in-class for the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"680\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-815153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png 2728w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png?resize=300,199 300w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png?resize=768,510 768w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png?resize=1024,680 1024w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png?resize=1536,1020 1536w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart1.png?resize=2048,1360 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Chart 1: Volumetric versus gravimetric fuels challenges (sources: Mdpi, Research gate)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, advances in technology mean it\u2019s possible to convert ICEs, enabling them to burn hydrogen instead of fossil fuels. It\u2019s not without its challenges, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first of these is to address the issue of low volumetric energy density when storing hydrogen in a vehicle. To illustrate this, the formula P.V = K.T describes the perfect gas mix, and justifies why pressure, volume, and temperature are so closely linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One answer is gaseous hydrogen. Stored at 700 bar and at ambient temperature, this it is the current solution for road and rail vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquid hydrogen, on the other hand, stored at 10 bar and -253<sup>o<\/sup>C, is the only viable solution for aviation, whether it\u2019s used in fuel cells to generate electricity, or to power turbo-propulsion and turbo fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-burning-hydrogen-in-ices\">Burning hydrogen in ICEs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the maturity of thermal engine technology, burning hydrogen in an ICE is an interesting option, both from a technical and an economic standpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, some technical challenges must be overcome. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Developing and adapting current technologies to hydrogen, while maintaining a reasonable cost for the motor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upgrading pollution control systems, despite improved environmental performance \u2013 i.e. the absence of CO2 and limited NOx emissions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To explore this concept further, we should consider the differences between piston-driven ICEs for motor vehicles, and turbine-driven ICEs for aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-piston-engines-for-cars\"><strong>Piston engines for cars<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>ICEs can, in principle, run on hydrogen to produce mechanical energy, releasing only carbon water vapour and NOx. Converting an ICE to hydrogen doesn\u2019t change the principle \u2013 only a few modifications are necessary, although NOx emission control requires precise combustion process management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"522\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png?w=960\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-815154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png 5212w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png?resize=300,153 300w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png?resize=768,391 768w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png?resize=1024,522 1024w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png?resize=1536,782 1536w, https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Chart2.png?resize=2048,1043 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chart 2: e-Fuel WTW energy efficiency (source: <a><em>Concawe Report on Role of e-fuels in the European transport system<\/em>)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>So how is the automotive industry adapting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toyota is looking to burn hydrogen in ICEs, while Honda will focus on EVs and FCEVs<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renault to reveal a concept car equipped with a \u2018hydrogen engine\u2019 <a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ORECA Magny-Cours to assess hydrogen technology, while developing its own hydrogen ICE <a href=\"#_ftn3\" id=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turbine-engines-for-planes\"><strong>Turbine engines for planes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Initiatives are underway \u2013 in the air and on the ground &#8211; to test hydrogen-fuelled ICEs and the direct use of hydrogen as a fuel in a gas turbine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the aviation industry doing in this regard?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Airbus and CFM International have launched a joint project to ground- and flight-test a direct combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen in preparation for the entry into service of a zero-emission aircraft by 2035 <a href=\"#_ftn4\" id=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rolls Royce believes that, while hydrogen can be used directly as a fuel in a gas turbine, it is likely to start in the shorter haul segments. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) gas turbines will remain the most likely solution for long-range flights, moving forward. <a href=\"#_ftn5\" id=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many in the transportation sector, reducing carbon emissions will mean initially adopting EVs or FCEVs. But this doesn\u2019t mean combustion of fuels will immediately be consigned to the engineering history books, we just need different fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burning hydrogen in a piston- or turbine-driven thermal engine generates no CO2, just water and some NOx. The maturity of ICE technology means systems can be adapted to hydrogen and other e-fuels &#8211; synthetic fuels derived from the use of an electrochemical process &#8211; at a much lower cost than developing FCEVs. Moreover, adapting ICEs to hydrogen will protect and save a huge number of jobs at risk of disappearing following the advent of EV technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In aviation, the appropriate solution for decarbonization will depend on usage. For example, electric batteries and fuel cells are a good solution for short- and medium-haul aircraft with a limited number of seats. For short-haul commuter flights, replacing original turboprops with a fuel cell and electric powertrain is a potential solution, with the possibility to use hydrogen as a fuel. For long-haul aircrafts, though, the only viable option is to combust fuel, which could be SAFs or hydrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, although EVs and FCEVs are seen by many as the most sustainable answer to the transportation industry\u2019s environmental challenges, the use of ICEs powered by hydrogen and e-fuels represents a cost-effective, pragmatic, and sustainable solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Inside EVs, Toyota\u2019s Hydrogen Combustion Plans \u2018Not Feasible\u2019 says Honda CEO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Motor1.com, Renault Concept Teased with Combustion Engine Running on Hydrogen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" id=\"_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> ORECA, ORECA Magny-Cours develops its first hydrogen engine test bench<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref4\" id=\"_ftn4\">[4]<\/a> Airbus, Airbus and CFM International to pioneer hydrogen combustion technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref5\" id=\"_ftn5\">[5]<\/a> Rolls Royce, Hydrogen power, fuelling a cleaner tomorrow<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><h3 data-maxlength=\"34\">Author<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\n\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/no-no\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/10\/Jean_Luc_Chabaudie_ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½-Engineering.jpg\" alt=\"Jean-Luc Chabaudie\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a aria-label=\"Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fr.linkedin.com\/in\/jean-luc-chabaudie-85b6a924\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-li\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Jean-Luc Chabaudie<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Group Research &amp; Innovation \u2013 Director, Business Development, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Engineering<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a aria-label=\"Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fr.linkedin.com\/in\/jean-luc-chabaudie-85b6a924\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon-li\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider-nav\"><button class=\"slider-prev inactive\" aria-label=\"Slider previous\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/button><ul class=\"slider-paginator\"><\/ul><button class=\"slider-next\" aria-label=\"Slider next\"><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-group undefined section section--article-content\"><div class=\"article-main-content\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-11 col-lg-10 offset-md-1 offset-lg-1\"><div class=\"article-text article-quote-text\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-with-support-from-capgemini-engineering-experts\">With support from ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Engineering experts: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alan Jean-Marie, Chemical engineering, Scientific expert<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gr\u00e9gory Millot, Mechanical architect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transporting people and goods accounts for nearly 20% of the world\u2019s CO2 emissions.
