Car Propulsion Technologies, the Increased Load
on the National Grid and CO2 Emissions
by

• Chris Banks

3
Reasons for Change

• Global warming reduction obligations

• Fossil fuel resouce diminishng

• Secure supply from reliable source

• Maintain domestic needs

4
What and When?

• Now
• 20-30 years

• Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)

• Hybrid (Toyota Prius Honda Insight)

• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

• Ultra Efficient Diesel Engines

• Biofuels

• Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine

• Fuel Cells

• Electric Battery

5
Hypothesis

• Given that, so called emission free vehicles will
  need to receive energy from the UK electricity
  supply network

I do not believe that under the current power
supply strategy the UK will be able to meet its
emission reduction obligations
