9. Light-weight design in transportation to reduce CO2 emissions: impact on corrosion performance
Authors of the chapter: Elizabeth Szala, Theo Hack, Tomáš Prošek
Due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission regulations, the transport industry is facing the challenge to improve fuel economy. In 2018, in Europe, 20% of the GHG emission was related to transport. Reducing vehicle and aeronautic structure mass as well as developing alternative energy vehicles, thereby reducing environmental impact are possible solutions and inevitable to improve fuel economy. Weight optimisation is a substantial pillar also for decarburisation and green aviation approaches in combination with clean energy solutions like sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen propulsion and solar powering. Lightweighting has become one of the most important aspects to consider in the design and manufacture of modern mean of transportation. All the aforementioned factors...
