Costs to reduce the sulphur content of diesel fuel

Nov 13, 1989

Report no. 10/89: This study examines the consequences to refineries of making step-wise reductions in the sulphur content of diesel fuel from 0.26 to 0.05% wt. The EC-12’s 95 refineries have been grouped into four categories for the purposes of representing...

Economic consequences of limiting benzene/aromatics in gasoline

Jul 21, 1989

This report records the economic consequences to four different types of refineries in Europe if the benzene content of gasoline is required to be limited to 3% v01 or 1% vol. The consequences of also setting limits on aromatics content are also investigated. The...

Diesel fuel quality and its relationship with emissions from diesel engines

Nov 21, 1987

Report no. 10/87: CONCAWE predicts future (year 2000) diesel fuel properties to essentially in the range of 43 to 54 cetane number (median value: 48.5) and 0.825 to 0.870 density (median value: 0.846). Compared with present average commercial European diesel fuels...
