Like other non-combustion energy storage technologies, a liquid nitrogen vehicle displaces the emission source from the vehicle's tail pipe to the central electrical generating plant. Where emissions-free sources are available, net production of pollutants can be reduced.
Liquid nitrogen is stored in a highly insulated tank within the vehicle to maintain its low temperature and minimize losses from evaporation. The liquid nitrogen is exposed to a heat source, such as ambient air or waste heat from the vehicle. This heat causes the LN₂ to vaporize and expand into nitrogen gas.
Although the technology doesn’t yet have perfect efficiency or infrastructure, the prospects of liquid nitrogen vehicles—including fast recharging, safety, and environmental friendliness—are evident for the future of mobility.
Liquid nitrogen vehicles like the LN2000 offer several advantages over these alternatives. Liquid nitrogen is nonflammable, nontoxic, and can be produced using less energy than hydrogen. Refuelling stations for liquid nitrogen could be easily adapted from existing gas stations, making the transition smoother and less costly.
It makes liquid nitrogen vehicles a safe means of transportation compared to internal combustion engines, which emit dangerous gases into the environment. Moreover, liquid nitrogen can also be produced by fractionating air for separation, which can be powered by renewable energy, making a fuel cycle fully sustainable.
A groundbreaking prototype, the LN2000 liquid-nitrogen engine, has emerged as a formidable rival to hydrogen-powered vehicles. Developed by researchers at the University of Washington, this engine utilizes liquid nitrogen, which expands rapidly to drive pistons, similar to a steam engine.
