Impact of road transport vehicles on climate change while using traditional and alternative fuels DOI: 10.33868/0365-8392-2022-1-269-24-29
Abstract. The purpose of the work was to identify environmental climatic impacts resulting from the biodiesel fuel use for vehicles (Vs). The methods are based on computation of natural resource consumption and toxic substances emission with the help of environmental footprint calculator being a software program. The results of integral assessment of the environmental impact (namely, consumption of water, pow basic traction trucks as VOLVO FM, FH, FE, and FL) were computed for biodiesel fuel types В0, В7, В30, В100 depending upon different standards of EURO propellants. Both positive and negative environmental impact factors have been determined for consuming biofuels during full lifecycle of Vs. It has been defined that minor decrease in СО2 emission owing to the use of standard modern biodiesel fuel was followed by significant increase in NOx emission, as well as power and water consumption in terms of first-generation biodiesel fuel utilization. Similar tendencies were recognized. Moreover, opportunity to apply biodiesel fuels along with other measures decreasing СО2 emission was analyzed. Originality it is stipulated by the use of the integrated assessment of impact of vehicles on climate change, as well as the use of natural resources while applying biodiesel fuel for vehicles. Keywords: greenhouse effect, biodiesel fuel, life cycle of Vs, nitrogen oxides.
