Ultra-low sulphur fuels have enabled the introduction of modern engine and after-treatment technologies in order to meet increasingly stringent exhaust emissions limits. Through these improvements, substantial reductions in road vehicle emissions have occurred over...
European road traffic has increased dramatically over the past several decades and the same growth is now being seen in many other parts of the world. This increased demand has brought new challenges for the vehicle and fuel industries, especially the need to lower...
The current focus on climate issues and, more specifically, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is generating much debate regarding emission sources and reduction options. Oil refineries are amongst the so-called ‘energy-intensive industries that do emit large quantities...
Report no. 4/08: This report reviews an extensive published literature covering a class of advanced combustion concepts for low emissions and high efficiency in internal combustion engines. For diesel engines, these combustion concepts are generically called...
Report no. 3/08: This report provides guidance on handling and blending ethanol at up to 10% v/v concentrations in motor gasoline. The major challenges associated with ethanol containing gasolines are discussed as they relate to the conformity of the finished fuel to...
