Petroleum substances contain hundreds to thousands of constituents, making it very difficult to generate biodegradation data on all of those constituents individually. Concawe is undertaking a novel project with SINTEF—one of Europe’s largest independent research...
To improve the persistence assessment of petroleum substances, Concawe started a testing programme for several hydrocarbons. Ready biodegradability tests were proposed on six 3-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in accordance with the OECD 301 F protocol....
As vertebrate animal studies form the basis for assessing certain human health and ecotoxicity hazards under the EU (European Union) REACH regulation, appropriate alternative approaches to fulfil information requirements must be considered in order to avoid...
The EMG and Soil Wastes and Groundwater group (SWG) of the EI and Concawe have commissioned E4tech to conduct a technical analysis of waste-to-products (WTP) technologies that could be integrated within the European refining system in the 2030 and 2050 timeframe. This...
Report no. 8/22: The 2021 annual report on European downstream oil industry safety performance presents work-related personal injuries for the industry’s own employees and contractors and process safety performance indicators. Information was received from forty-three...
