There are several applications of renewable energy in transport architecture, including:
1. Electric vehicles (EVs): Electric vehicles are powered by energy stored in batteries, which can be charged using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
2. Hybrid vehicles: Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery. Renewable energy sources can be used to charge the battery, reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned by the engine.
3. Biofuels: Biofuels are derived from renewable sources such as crops or waste materials. They can be used to power vehicles directly or mixed with traditional gasoline or diesel fuel.
4. Renewable hydrogen: Hydrogen can be produced using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. It can then be used as a fuel for fuel cell vehicles.
5. Renewable energy-powered public transportation: Public transportation systems can be powered using renewable energy sources. For example, electric buses can be powered by renewable energy, and light rail systems can use solar power.
6. Bike-sharing systems: Bike-sharing systems can be powered using renewable energy sources such as solar power. This can help reduce emissions from transportation and promote sustainable modes of travel.
