de Ruiter, J.M. (author), Kadijk, G. (author), Elstgeest, M. (author), Ligterink, N.E. (author), van de Mark, P.J. (author)In de afgelopen jaren zijn de eisen aan voertuigemissies en brandstofverbruik steeds verder aangescherpt. Hierdoor zijn de voertuigtechnologieën steeds complexer worden. De emissieprestaties van een voertuig zijn sterk afhankelijk van de werking van deze technologieën. Mede in het licht van dieselgate, zijn er in de loop der tijd nieuwe methoden...report 2020

Qian, Y. (author), Scherer, L. (author), Tukker, A. (author), Behrens, P. (author)Coal is the dominant emitter of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) in some countries, comprising 92% of total emissions in China. Mitigation of these emissions can be driven by a number of factors, such as energy-efficiency improvements, installation of scrubbers, and use of renewable energy. This study evaluates the historical reduction of overall SO2...article 2020

Vroom, G.Q. (author), Vojtisek, M. (author), van der Heijden, B. (author), Buskermolen, E.G. (author)Standardized emission measurement tools like PEMS are expensive and laborious, and therefore not suitable to be applied in a large fleet. Beyond PEMS, there are several other methods to monitor vehicle emissions using standard (cheap) sensors, monitoring boxes and data channels. The aim of this report is to demonstrate the validity of these...report 2020

Kadijk, G. (author)Nederland krijgt waarschijnlijk in 2021 een APK deeltjestest voor dieselvoertuigen. Gebleken is dat ongeveer 9 procent van de dieselvoertuigen een slecht functionerend of geen roetfilter heeft. Dankzij deze nieuwe test zullen filters gerepareerd, vervangen of weer geïnstalleerd worden, en wordt het (illegaal) verwijderen van roetfilters...other 2020

(author)uCARE aims to reduce pollutant emissions of the existing European vehicle fleet. The project intends to inform drivers about how to change their behaviour in such a way that tailpipe and wear emissions are reduced. To determine possible reductions, one needs to understand how emissions are related to vehicle use. There is much to be learned from...report 2020

(author)This study presents the first investigation of the methane (CH4) emissions of a large festival. Munich Oktoberfest, the world’s largest folk festival, is a potential source of CH4 as a large amount of natural gas for cooking and heating is used. In 2018 we measured the CH4 emissions of Oktoberfest using in situ measurements combined with a...article 2020

A perfect covariance accounts for the uncertainty based on prior knowledge and is able to explain differences between model simulations and observations. In practice, emission uncertainties are...article 2020
