Alternative Power Sources for Vehicles

Conventional vehicles are driven by the combustion of gasoline and diesel, which process releases CO2 emissions and causes harm to the environment. In order to mitigate the emission issue, the Hong Kong government has set the goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and launched the “Climate Action Plan 2030+”. For that, developing clean power sources to replace the currently dominant internal combustion engine is critical. In this talk, two advanced technologies, i.e., lithium ion batteries and fuel cells, will be introduced as alternative power sources for vehicles. The speaker will give a general picture of their working principles, current progress, technological bottlenecks, future development, and the speaker will answer why those technologies can be successfully applied in vehicles (e.g., Tesla and Toyota).
