Abstract:
In a dynamic society built on consumption, the means of transportation are a question of national interest. Economical growth is based on homogenous infrastructure and equal opportunities. Industrial and agrar hubs need to be connected in all means possible and short to medium commutes need to be streamlined flawlessly. Up until recent years, these dynamic paces were made possible by fossil fuel dependency, but the current social acknowledgement of several world-crafted agreements on environment protection, including but not limited to global warming slowdown, impose a cleaner way of planning future transport solutions.
One of those solutions is addressed in our study below. The Green Hydrogen-based Motorway that we planned connects Timișoara to Constanța and sustain up to 30.000 hydrogen powered cars traffic per day. All the power needed for splitting the water molecule to the energy-indorsed potent gas liquified at tremendous pressures is provided exclusively by green sources (Photovoltaic, Wind-power, Hydro).
The refuelling stations are sparsed at strategic points and dimensioned as the highest traffic would require. More than 400MW of installed-peak power are available to the electrolysers that provide the green fuel for the low-emission vehicles on route. Subsequently, up to 300.000 tons of CO2 emissions are saved each year by the 800 km long 4-lane proposed motorway built around Hydrogen. Even the low 2 digits emissions that are tackled by the massive investment, spread to its period of life, are addressed by the 800 meters wide forest curtain that follows the winding geopolymer concrete monster from the the Transylvanian plateau through the scenic Olt river valley and dams, down the Subcarpathians then as low as the sunny Bărăgan plains before it reaches up into the wind again in Dobrogea country and bite the Black Sea at Constanța, reporting zero emissions, aka neutrality of Carbon.
