The EC-JRC European Reference Laboratory for Air Pollution (ERLAP) has organized an inter-laboratory comparison for the measurement of total carbon (TC), elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) in particulate matter collected on filters. To this comparison seventeen European Union National...

This report evaluates the substitution options of nine critical raw materials (CRM) (Eu, Tb, Y, In, Ga, Ge, Nd, Pr and Dy) required in lighting, wind turbines and electric vehicles applications. Substitution has been considered from many perspectives from reducing the use of CRM via improved...

This report analyses the factors influencing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of passenger cars in real-world operating conditions. Their effect generates the divergence between the officially reported fuel consumption and the one experienced by the drivers.

The present report presents a set of computational modules for assessing the costs and savings of different CO2 emission targets for new light duty vehicles. In particular, these models allow constructing cost curves, identifying cost-optimal CO2 emission reduction distributions over the...

The report presents the methodologies that JRC/SETIS applies for the evaluation of selected key performance indicators measuring progress in research and innovation in Europe, and provides the necessary theoretical background to underpin the SETIS contributions to the State of the Energy Union...

Study of vertical heat distribution and consequent NOx emissions was performed for different coke oven batteries. The first step of the characterization of the current operation of Florange and Przyjaźń batteries was the collection of data. CPM and AMMR defined the necessary measurements and...

The present report summarises the work carried out by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre to estimate the impact of the introduction of the new type approval procedure, the Worldwide Light duty vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), on the European car fleet CO2 emissions. To this aim, a new...
