"This book provides research on technical and environmental enhancements to the emission and combustion characteristics of diesel engines. While highlighting topics such as biodiesel emulsions, nanoparticle additives, and mathematical modeling, this book explores the potential additives that...

This edited collection explores the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to a low carbon economy, and outlines the different approaches taken to ensure the sustainability of such a transition. Chapters explore the nature of the transformation from a ‘brown’ to ‘green’...

La pollution imputable aux transports diminue sensiblement grâce à la réglementation qui limite les émissions à l’échappement d'une part, mais aussi grâce aux investissements des constructeurs de véhicules dans des technologies moins polluantes. Mais les avantages de ces mesures sont...

Ce rapport identifie des options stratégiques et recommande des actions pour promouvoir l’achat et l’utilisation des véhicules les plus respectueux de l’environnement. Il évalue l’impact d’une utilisation accrue des véhicules à faibles émissions, en se fondant sur les...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies can drastically reduce future CO2 emissions. This IEA study introduces a scenario analysis of the future role of CCS and presents the main uncertainties that surround a CCS policy strategy. It provides detailed estimates of the likely CO2...

Climate change is one of the key challenges facing the international community. The world’s industrial countries and those with economies in transition have, under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, collectively agreed sharp limitations of their greenhouse gas emissions. Innovative provisions in this...

Transport sector policies already contribute to moderating greenhouse gas emissions from road vehicles. They are increasingly designed to contribute to overall societal targets to mitigate climate change. While abatement costs in transport are relatively high, there are plausible arguments in...

Despite significant efforts on the part of some countries, transport CO2 emissions have increased steadily over the last ten years. This report reviews the progress OECD and ECMT countries have made in reducing transport sector CO2 emissions and makes recommendations for the focus of future...
