Report no. 1/08: This report discusses the outcome of modelling scenarios comparing the impact of emissions from ships in different areas of the Mediterranean with those from land-based emissions. The modelling uses the results of a recent emission inventory for the...
In 2006, CONCAWE published the results of a techno-economic study analysing the impact of the reduction of the sulphur content of residual marine fuels (RMF) in Europe (CONCAWE report 2/06). The study contended that, when faced with a low sulphur limit on residual...
EU fuel demand and call on refineries The petroleum product market is dominated by transport fuels, particularly gasoline and diesel for road transport and jet fuel for aircrafts. The evolution of the demand in these markets is therefore a crucial parameter for...
Report no. 2/06: Annex VI of the IMO’s MARPOL convention is coming into force in 2006 for the Baltic Sea and 2007 for the North Sea, imposing a 1.5% m/m sulphur cap on residual marine fuel (RMF) burned in these areas. At the same time EU Directive2005/33/EC will...
CONCAWE first embarked on work on fuels quality in relation to automotive emissions in the late 1970s.Since that time, tremendous progress has been made in reducing emissions from road transport, with improvements in fuel quality contributing substantially to these...
