This is the first paper that econometrically estimates the impact of rising Bioenergy production on global CO2 emissions. We apply a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) approach to time series from 1961 to 2009 with annual observation for the world biofuel production and global CO2...

This report presents the macro-effects of further trade integration between the European Union and respectively Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia in the horizon 2020. It put together three case studies which adopt a similar methodology based on both Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model and Social...

Ten years ago, when the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan was launched, the energy transition was in the making but still looked distant. While the challenge of successfully transforming our energy system still lies ahead of us, few would deny that the chances of success seem today much...

This report presents some preliminary calculations for the simulation of rat, monkey and human head behaviour (in particular of the brain) under imposed deceleration conditions by the EUROPLEXUS code. EUROPLEXUS (also abbreviated as EPX) is a computer code jointly developed by the French...

The purpose of this technical paper is to illustrate a computationally cheap approach of conducting the multivariate sensitivity analysis with a very large and complex non-linear model RHOMOLO. We evaluated model responses to the different combinations of the following input data a) elasticity...

The PN-PEMS is considered a "black box" where efficiency tests and linearity have to be checked with thermally stable soot like aerosol. The efficiency is checked with monodisperse aerosol. The most straight forward way is to check the efficiency of the complete PN-PEMS but checking the thermal...

Regulation 2016/427 introduced on-road testing with Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) to complement the laboratory Type I test for the type approval of light-duty vehicles in the European Union. A NOx conformity factor of 1.5 will apply from January 2020/2021. This conformity factor...

Preliminary tests with commercial spring-mass gravimeters have been carried out on the outdoor test field at Ispra in order to establish a test-bed suitable for testing a cold-atom quantum gravimeter. In 2016, the background on a single device was measured. In 2017, measurements of the field...
