Assesses the indirect greenhouse gas emissions of diverting waste and residual materials to biofuel production.
Laboratory and on-road emission testing of in-use passenger vehicles in India
Results of a project by the International Centre of Automotive Technology (ICAT), in India, to conduct laboratory and on-road testing of three in-use vehicles, using a portable emissions measurement system, over a variety of drive cycles and routes.
Diesel retrofit technologies and experience for on-road and off-road vehicles
Summarizes important features and experiences of successful retrofit program efforts primarily in the U.S. and Europe, and also highlights the range of retrofit technologies that have been successfully used to reduce exhaust emissions (including diesel particulate and NOX emissions) from older, existing on-road and off-road diesel engines.
Heavy-duty vehicles technology potential and cost study
Cost-effectiveness and potential analysis of technologies for the reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission of heavy-duty vehicles in the European market, in the 2020–2030 timeframe.
Managing emissions from non-road vehicles
An overview of advanced non-road diesel compliance programs with examples of adopted registration or labeling systems for non-road equipment and compares compliance tools for non-road vehicles with those for heavy-duty vehicles.
Black carbon measurement methods and emission factors from ships
