Resumo(s)
Electrification of the transport sector in Cape Verde, followed by the
construction of a charging infrastructure mainly supported by renewable energy,
is one of the most important long-term objectives in Cape Verde. Despite having
lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when compared with other countries,
the country adopted a strategy to decrease the consumption of fossil fuels and
consequentially decrease GHG emissions in the transport sector with the implementation
of policies to accelerate the deployment of electric mobility, aligned
with the Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations. Therefore, this
paper analyses the electric mobility’s deployment in CapeVerde and the amount of
GHG emissions that is possible to avoid with the usage of electric vehicles (EVs)
considering two scenarios, first with the EV charging from the public grid energy
and, second, the EVs charging from renewable energy sources. The conducted
analysis exploits a practical case of a company located in Sal Island that has been
replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) based vehicles with electric vehicles.
Results suggest a reduction of 60.5% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by using
an electric fleet charged from a utility grid with a high penetration of fossil fuels
compared with an ICE-based fleet.
