Qualitative Analysis of Carbon Emissions and Offsetting Opportunities of Zalaegerszeg Automotive Proving Ground

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview about the efforts management board Automotive Proving Ground in Zalaegerszeg decrease carbon effects, which a close relation with project level sustainability opportunities special investment. Based on research work we have done, solutions were proposed achieve vision "net zero (or negative) emissions" project. In investigations concerning test track, system boundaries defined such that all relevant facilities and processes operating considered. emissions calculations, employed procedure outlined by GHG Protocol for 3 scopes methodology relied heavily related standard. For definition collection input data types was first step. Then assessment has been conducted taking into consideration geometric shape platforms, anticipated vehicle loading track elements, typical distance-speed diagrams, as well utilized (passenger cars, trucks buses). We calculated CO2-equivalent from gasoline diesel fuel consumptions (from product demand conversion factors), using "Tank-to-Wheels" "Well-to-Wheels" approaches. emission calculations offsetting analyzed assume effect CO2 reduction capture: forestation green surface development; energy crop plantation heat generation; establishment photovoltaic (PV) farm (electricity production). shown main characteristics options their advantages disadvantages.
