Using the EU-refinery model introduced in the previous article, CONCAWE has evaluated the potential consequences of a reduction of the diesel fuel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) specification on the European refining industry from the point of view of costs...
For many years CONCAWE has maintained a model of the European refining system in order to be able to evaluate the potential impact of major changes, such as more stringent product specifications or shifts in crude supply and/or product demand patterns. Although the...
In December 2003, a consortium of JRC, EUCAR and CONCAWE published the first version of a comprehensive Well-to-Wheels (WTW) analysis of fuels and powertrains in the European context, focusing on energy efficiency, GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions, costs and potential...
Report no. 7/05: The cost and CO2 emissions associated with the reduction of poly-aromatics (PAH)in the EU diesel fuel have been evaluated using the CONCAWE EU refining model. A reduction of the diesel fuel PAH specification below 8% m/m would require investment in EU...
Report no. 4/05: CONCAWE has measured PAH emissions from a range of vehicles and fuels. For diesel vehicles, the relationship between fuel poly-aromatics content and PAH in exhaust emissions has been examined. The programme focused on the US EPA’s Priority Pollutant...
