Substantial advances in European road vehicle emissions have been achieved over the past three decades driven by strengthening revisions legislation and enabled fuel, engine control technologies. As both technology Europe continue to evolve, Concawe has conducted a study examine effects that fuels can on emissions, this case from commercial vehicles. A bus certified Euro VI level delivery truck...

Domestic carbon pricing policies may impose adverse competitiveness risks on energy-intensive firms and industries competing with foreign firms that may bear a lower or zero price on carbon. The risks of competitiveness effects include adverse economic outcomes—reduced production, lower employment, and higher net imports—and adverse environmental outcomes, with the shifting of emissions-intensi...

Diesel exhaust (DE) characteristic of pre-1988 engines is classified as a "probable" human carcinogen (Group 2A) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified DE as "likely to be carcinogenic to humans." These classifications were based on the large body of health effect studies conducted on DE over the past 30 or so years...

The anaerobic digestion of biodegradable substrates and waste is a well-known process that can be used worldwide to produce renewable fuel called biogas. At the time writing, most widespread way using biogas its direct usage in combined heat power internal combustion engines (CHP-ICEs) generate electricity heat. However, generates emissions, which turn have an impact on human health. Therefore,...

Carbon regulation is intended to reduce global emissions, but there is growing concern that such regulation may simply shift production to unregulated regions ...

The European emissions trading scheme (EU-ETS) is a cap and trade system that requires the industries participating in the program to obtain allowances to cover their carbon emissions. Energy Intensive Industries claim that this system puts their European plants at an economics disadvantage compared to facilities located outside the EU. As a direct consequence, industries may relocate their pro...

Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum (LPG) are included in the group of promoted transport fuel alternatives Europe. Most studies on emissions factors based old technology CNG LPG fueled vehicles. Furthermore, there not many data at low ambient temperatures, on-road driving, or unregulated pollutants, such as ammonia (NH3). In this study we measured one Euro 6b light commercial ...
