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...
