This report summarizes the results of an experimental study assessing the real-world environmental performance and its comparison with laboratory measurements of two Euro VI step C Refuse Collection Heavy-Duty Vehicles. The first is equipped with a common-rail Diesel engine, a Selective Catalyti...
The role of gas in the future of the EU energy sector has been one of the most debated topics in the last few years. As natural gas (NG) makes up less and less of Europe’s energy mix (according to several studies), there is an increasing scope for the development and flexible use of a number of ...
Laying down foundations for the decarbonisation of the gas sector is one of the top priorities for the European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen....
Sector coupling involves the increased integration of energy end-use and supply sectors with one another. This can improve the efficiency and flexibility of the energy system as well as its reliability and adequacy. Additionally, sector coupling can reduce the costs of decarbonisation. To foster...
The required sharp decrease in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 – as committed to in the Paris Agreement - may drastically reduce the share of natural gas in the European energy mix. Therefore, the role of European gas infrastructure may change substantially within the next thirty ...
This study analyses the various challenges of the deployment of charging infrastructure within the EU. This includes existing technologies and standardisation issues, metering systems and pricing schemes, business and financing models, the impact of the charging infrastructure on the disseminati...
The project addressed a simplified integrated SNG process chain for small- to mid-scale lignite based SNG plants with integrated sequestration of CO2. The experimental proof was accomplished at two integrated SNG process chains at FAU laboratory. Within the 1st part of the project, thermodynamic...
The report shows that, in many jurisdictions, wholesale energy prices have been declining since 2008 as a result of improved gas-to-gas competition, underpinned by the hub-to-hub model that has been established in many parts of Europe, but not everywhere yet. Market fundamentals – including weak...
