In 2012, the Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (HTAP) Task Force launched a cooperative multi-model experiments and analysis (HTAP Phase 2) that is intended to inform the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP) and other multi-lateral cooperative efforts, as well as...

This document is the culminating product of a series of ad-hoc workshops led by a group of European and North American air quality scientists interested in instigating a significant advance in the way regional-scale air quality modelling systems are evaluated. The initiative arising out of these...

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...

This document complements the Global Energy and Climate Outlook 2018 report. It provides the detailed GHG and energy balances for the Reference, the central 2°C and 1.5°C scenarios described in the main report. The results displayed in this report have been produced with the global energy &...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis was conducted on the SHERPA model, predicting air quality improvement linked to emission reduction scenarios. Major responsible of output uncertainty (PM2.5 concentration reductions in g/m3) stems from the uncertainty in the policy options followed by the...

The concentrations of equivalent black carbon deriving from biomass burning [eBC]bb and fossil fuel combustion [eBC]ff have been estimated from measurements of aerosol light attenuation at several wavelengths (from infrared to ultraviolet) performed at the atmospheric observatory of the Joint...

This study shows that achieving the climate change mitigation target of staying below 2°C temperature rise is possible technically - thanks to an acceleration of decarbonisation trends, an increased electrification of final demand and large changes in the primary energy mix that include a phase...

The emissions from small stationary combustion activities sector, in particular from the energy needs for residential buildings, have significant shares in total emissions of EU28. Therefore, measures to mitigate the emissions from this less regulated sector related to implementation checking...
