Impacts of low carbon technologies on environmental parameters: air/water/waste

Mar 3, 2022

Report no. 3/22: Concawe’s Low Carbon Pathways (LCP) programme aims to identify opportunities and challenges for different low-carbon technologies and feedstocks to achieve a significant reduction of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with both the...

Literature review of Particulate Matter (PM) from transport with a special focus on organic aerosols

Feb 23, 2022

Report no. 2/22: Several recent scientific studies on urban air quality have suggested that air quality modelling based on current emission inventories for mobile sources systematically underestimates the contribution of these sources to ambient particulate matter...

Linking biodegradation kinetics, microbial composition and test temperature – Testing 40 petroleum hydrocarbons using inocula collected in winter and summer

Jan 5, 2022

Many factors affect the biodegradation kinetics of chemicals in test systems and the environment. Empirical knowledge is needed on how much test temperature, inoculum, test substances and co-substrates influence the biodegradation kinetics and microbial composition in...

Assessment of oil refinery wastewater and effluent integrating bioassays, mechanistic modelling and bioavailability evaluation

Sep 4, 2021

Water is used in petroleum oil refineries in significant volumes for cooling, steam generation and processing of raw materials. Effective water management is required at refineries to ensure their efficient and responsible operation with respect to the water...

Application of the target lipid model to assess toxicity of heterocyclic aromatic compounds to aquatic organisms

Aug 15, 2021

Heterocyclic aromatic compounds can be found in crude oil and coal and often co‐exist in environmental samples with their homocyclic aromatic counterparts. The target lipid model (TLM) is a modeling framework that relates aquatic toxicity to the octanol–water...
