A new report says that the integration of liquid air into transport could see significant reductions in NOx, PM and CO2 emissions, reduce diesel consumption and costs for hauliers. The Liquid Air Energy Network has launched the latest report on liquid air technology at a conference in Westminster concluding a 9 month study.
The report entitled 'Liquid Air on the Highway, the environmental and business case for liquid air commercial vehicles in the UK' was publshed by the Liquid Air Energy Network, the Centre for Low Carbon Futures, and the University of Birmingham. and was co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board. It explores the benefits and implications of liquid air introduction in commercial vehicles over the next 10 years.
The study found that adoption of liquid air technologies in trucks and buses more broadly could provide significant economies, saving Britain 1.3 billion litres of diesel, over a million tonnes of carbon and £115m by 2025, net of all costs.
David Strahan, editor of the ‘Liquid Air on the Highway’ report said: “Nine months of work gathering data from technology developers, industrial gas experts, transport consultancies and fleet operators has presented an incredibly strong case for the financial and environmental potential of liquid air".
