Automotive manufacturing is very energy-intensive. Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) are generated in automotive manufacturing, from both the direct on-site consumption of fossil fuel energy and indirect consumption of purchased electricity. As estimated, a typical vehicle requires approximately 120 Giga Joules of energy input to be manufactured. This study is conducted on assessing the application potential of such clean energy power systems as solar PV, wind and fuel cells in reducing the GHG emissions of global auto manufacturing industry. The study is conducted on those representative clean energy systems of solar PV, wind and fuel cells available on the commercial market at six representative locations of GM global facilities including United States, Mexico, Brazil, China, Egypt and Germany.
