Dieselisation of the fuel market is accelerating as commercial transport increases and as the fuel consumption of new passenger cars decreases. At the same time, the recent US revolution in shale gas and tight oil is putting new pressure on worldwide refining as more...
Report no. 13/14: This report describes initial engineering and experimental steps to assess the potential to improve efficiency and reduce both regulated and CO2 emissions, and maintain acceptable noise performance by running gasoline in an advanced diesel engine. An...
This report is the result of the JEC Biofuels Programme, a joint study carried out by JRC (the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission), EUCAR (the European Council for Automotive R&D) and CONCAWE (the oil companies’ European association for environment,...
Report no. 6/14: By 2020, EU legislation will require that 10% of the total transport fuel energy demand is met by the use of renewable energy, primarily by blending bio-components. Although many types of blending components for diesel fuels are being considered to...
Over the past decade, the JEC Research Consortium1 has been working together to better understand the complex issues associated with future vehicles and fuels. While some of this work has involved practical vehicle testing, much of the Consortium’s work has been on...
