Abstract

In this research, we propose the low emission fuel supply system for electric vehicle and/or fuel cell one. In our system, we consider the traffic situation on the express way in domestic area. There are plenty of waste biomass resources which are generated by trimming trees and/or grass at the both sides of road on the express way. Here, we assume the biomass gasification system of Blue Tower (BT) using trimming trees and/or grass. Through BT system, electricity due to gas engine or fuel cell and/or H2 due to the purification system can be produced. Moreover, the traffic flow would be depending upon seasonal condition. Based on the uncertainties, we consider the production plan for the fuels.
