And that\u2019s the reason for the recent project\u2019s focus on zero emission mobility,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>CO2 neutral mobility requires a vehicle to have zero carbon emissions across its entire lifecycle, and Zem is an apt example of how close to this goal an EV like this can get.<\/p>\n<p>In this piece, we\u2019ll look at how Zem achieves this through its use, production, and afterlife \u2014 as well as what the car industry can learn from these sorts of schemes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_air-cleaning_technology\"><\/span>The air-cleaning technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned at the start, instead of emitting CO2, Zem captures it. Effectively, it cleans the air while driving. That\u2019s thanks to an innovative technology called direct air capture (CAP), which \u201ctraps\u201d carbon dioxide into a filter. Companies such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/climeworks.com\/\">Climeworks<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/carbyon.com\/\">Carbyon<\/a> have been <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lying this air-cleaning method via large installations. But the Zem team decided to implement it on the car.<\/p>\n<p>It works like this: while driving, air moves through the car into a self-designed filter, which captures and stores CO2, allowing clear air to flow out of the vehicle. This compensates for the total emissions of all life phases.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1393889 js-lazy\" alt=\"EV that cleans the air\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14-203x135.jpg 203w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14-405x270.jpg 405w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Ftech%2F2023%2F02%2F02%2Fstudent-made-ev-cleans-the-air-while-driving%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Credit: TU\/ecomotive\" data-title=\"Share Credit: TU\/ecomotive on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Credit: TU\/ecomotive on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Credit: TU\/ecomotive<\/figcaption><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1393889\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14.jpg\" alt=\"EV that cleans the air\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14-203x135.jpg 203w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem14-405x270.jpg 405w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>But what happens when the filter is saturated?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have designed a special charging pole for this,\u201d Louise explained. \u201cWhile Zem is charging you can remove the filter and place it in a special tank inside the pole. Cleaning the filter takes about the same time as charging. At the same time, the CO2 absorbed and saved in the tank can be repurposed and used by industries that need it, to make carbon fibers, for instance,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>And to increase the vehicle\u2019s sustainability even when not in use, TU\/ecomotive has equipped it bi-directional charging technology to provide electricity to homes, as well as solar panels to store energy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximising_sustainable_production_and_afterlife\"><\/span>Maximising sustainable production and afterlife<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To achieve a high level of sustainability, the TU\/ecomotive opted for a novel production method: additive manufacturing \u2014 or simply, 3D printing. The team collaborated with partners \u2014 such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ceadgroup.com\/\">CEAD<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royal3d.nl\/\">Royal3D<\/a> \u2014 to develop the car\u2019s fundamental structure. Specifically, the monocoque and the body panels.<\/p>\n<p>As Louise explained, they also 3D-printed parts of the interior, including the car seat shell, the dashboards, the middle console, the steering wheel, and the roof beams.<\/p>\n<p>According to the team, this manufacturing process results in nearly zero waste materials, as the various car parts were printed in the exact shape needed. At the same time, they did the printing using circular plastics. These are granulates that had already been used and can be shredded and reused afresh in other projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can use that same material again to make the same event over three times before it loses its specifications,\u201d Louise noted.<\/p>\n<p>The vision of circularity has been applied throughout Zem\u2019s design as well.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the seat upholstery is made from the residue released during pineapple production. The roof upholstery and the floor mats consist of ocean plastics. And, through the collaboration with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blackbearcarbon.com\/\">Black Bear Carbon<\/a>, recycled black carbon from worn tires has been used for the EV\u2019s coating and tires.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the concept car boasts \u201cas little CO2 emissions as possible\u201d during the production phase. At the same time, the types of materials, their ease of separation, and their circularity, all contribute to keeping CO2 emissions during the end-of-use phase at a lower level \u2014 especially when compared to conventional cars.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1393887 size-full js-lazy\" alt=\"Concept EV \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1-280x187.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1-203x135.jpeg 203w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1-405x270.jpeg 405w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Ftech%2F2023%2F02%2F02%2Fstudent-made-ev-cleans-the-air-while-driving%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Credit: TU\/ecomotive\" data-title=\"Share Credit: TU\/ecomotive on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Credit: TU\/ecomotive on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Credit: TU\/ecomotive<\/figcaption><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1393887 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Concept EV \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1-280x187.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1-203x135.jpeg 203w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2023\/02\/zem-5-1-1-405x270.jpeg 405w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>But, according to Louise, it proved extremely challenging to give a specific number to Zem\u2019s overall emissions via the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Life-cycle_assessment\">Life Cycle Assessment<\/a> (LCA) method, revealing a gap in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need a lot of data from the partners where we get the parts from and some of them don\u2019t know the exact LCA of their product,\u201d she said.

Yet, the EV does come with disadvantages that would require further work to enable its scaleup into a marketable product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you build a car in less than one year, there will be some flaws that you still need to work on,\u201d she noted. \u201cZem drove smoothly on the DRC track during the US tour, but the closer you get to the vehicle, the easier it is to see its flaws.\u201d And that\u2019s to be expected when you work with new materials and new technologies within a short period of time, Louise added.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_win-win_for_students_and_commercial_partners\"><\/span>A win-win for students and commercial partners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that the Zem project has been concluded, a renewed team has started working on the next concept vehicle.
