Samenvatting

To achieve the climate goals by 2030, Germany has introduced measures such as the expanding of renewable energy infrastructure and implementing policies that promote electric vehicles. These measures are intended to reduce the environmental footprint of the energy and mobility sectors. Light electrical vehicles (LEVs) can be substitute to the cars to reduce the emission and lower the traffic. However, sustainable charging solutions for LEVs remain limited, and the existing infrastructure has certain limitations, such as reduced reliability during periods of low insolation (e.g. cloudy days and winter). This study focuses on potential solutions by examining the use case of
an off-grid solar charging station for an e-moped based on empirical data from a living lab. This paper assesses the environmental impact of a conceptual hydrogen-battery solar station (HydSCS) and compares with an an extended battery solar charging station (BatSCS). Our analysis revealed that HydSCS has about 9% lower global warming potential(GWP) than BatSCS at the 50% utilization. These preliminary findings suggest that hydrogen storage can be an environmentally favorable storage option for off-grid solar charging station.
