This article presents the results of a modelling study carried out to examine how concentrations of key air pollutants (i.e. nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3)) would vary under different emission reduction scenarios, and to assess how...
Assessing the real-world energy performance and emissions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is complex: it depends on their usage (trip distance, recharging behaviour), which results in different combined uses of their thermal and electric propulsion. This...
Restoring and preserving biodiversity is widely acknowledged as crucial in the mobilisation of biofeedstocks for biofuels. Following Concawe’s joint study with Imperial College Consultants on the potential availability of advanced biofeedstocks (as included in RED II,...
As the September 2023 edition of the Concawe Review was being finalised, a number of reports discussed the decrease in the biodiversity of the planet. Because the biodiversity contained in different ecosystems can function as a natural carbon sink, its loss could...
Following the REACH registration phase, ECHA began the substances evaluation phase in 2012. The proof of similarity and subsequent justification of read-across between Concawe’s substances, which is necessary to limit the number of vertebrate animal studies, is...
