Abstract Interest in alternative energy carriers for military transportation applications prompted significant investigation, which revealed military-specific benefits and challenges of electric hybrid energy carrier systems. In the years since these studies, the types and performance of alternative energy carrier technologies have rapidly advanced. The objectives of this work were to survey and characterize commercial and near-term transportation energy carriers and then assess their use in several specific military vehicles. Comprehensive databases were constructed which quantify the energy density, specific energy, and power density of various energy carriers, storage systems, and energy conversion devices, through a survey of the scientific and industrial literature. These databases were then used in conjunction with basic operating requirements for the high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle and family of medium tactical vehicles military vehicle platforms to approximate the total powertrain mass as well as the total volume of stored energy, for various energy carriers for each vehicle platform. Results indicate that the use of pure gasoline or diesel fuels in these vehicle platforms yields by far the lowest total powertrain mass and stored energy; thus, despite recent advancements in alternative energy carrier technologies, significant powertrain mass and stored volume penalties for their implementation remain. Li ion battery diesel hybrids were the most promising near-term application of alternative energy carrier, with the commercialization of Li ion battery technologies found to have significantly reduced mass and volume penalties. The databases and trends developed here inform the broader consideration of alternative energy carriers used in military vehicles.

Development Prospects

This paper identifies the structure of the energy balance in the world and in individual countries was analyzed, trends and factors in the development of alternative types of energy carriers. The impact of their development on the volume and structure of international energy trade is substantiated. Its development prospects are presented for developed countries that are leaders in the development of alternative energy sources, and for developing countries for which the price factor is more important. Prospects of development of Russian energy exports in conditions of increasing importance of alternative types of energy carriers in the world economy and international trade are considered.

One of the ways to reduce the consumption of oil-based liquid fuels and reduce air pollution is to increase the use of so-called nontraditional or alternative energy carriers in road transport. The most promising from this point of view are plant-based fuels.

Specific Material

The publication analyzes the anthropogenic impact of renewable (alternative) energy on the environment by assessing its specific material intensity. A specific feature of alternative energy, there is practically no emissions and discharges into the environment, however, the construction of power plants and their operation can significantly change the existing material flows in the geographic shell of the Earth, which in the future inevitably leads to the degradation of natural geosystems. This requires the use of a special criterion for assessing the material intensity of the specified sector of the economy. To analyze the material intensity, the criterion of total Material Input – numbers was used, which allows the entire set of natural resources to be presented as a single value, and thus to compare the energy operating on fossil fuels and power plants of renewable energy. At this point in time, the share of alternative energy in the total energy balance of the country is small, amounting to 0.14%, however, a number of scenarios assume its significant increase in the future period of time. The study was based on a hypothetical scenario of complete replacement of traditional energy with alternative energy sources. It has been established that this will reduce the level of material intensity of the Russian energy sector by 6.93 times. In 31 Russian regions, this value will be higher than the national average, and the reduction in the specific material intensity of the industry will reach values from 7.00 to 32.67 times, which will significantly reduce the anthropogenic impact of this economic sector on natural geosystems. A particularly high effect is expected in the regions with developed coal energy and included in the Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts. The conclusion is that the replacement of traditional energy with alternative energy will significantly reduce the anthropogenic impact of this sector of the economy due to a decrease in material intensity.
