Green Vehicles: State of Play and Future OutlookLeonardo ENERGY
Despite substantial progress over the past years, road transport still remains one of the most energy-consuming (30% of total EU consumption) and the highest contributor to pollutant emissions in Europe. As a complement to emission legislation, the EU has set out a strategy for encouraging the development and uptake of green vehicles which have a much lower environmental impact throughout their lifecycles.
This comprehensive strategy was laid down in a 2010 Communication entitled “European strategy on clean and energy efficient vehicles” which identified the main actions to be taken by the European Commission (EC) including regulatory initiatives, support to research & innovation or consumer information measures. Over the years, the identified actions have gradually been implemented and completed by the EC and the 2010 strategy updated.
The letter makes two key policy requests of EU leaders regarding the upcoming mobility package:
1) Set mandatory sales targets for zero-emission vehicles in 2025 and 2030 to accelerate their deployment. Zero-emission vehicles can help reduce emissions, oil dependency, and air pollution.
2) Adopt ambitious CO2 emissions targets for 2025 and 2030 for cars, vans, and later for trucks and buses. Ambitious CO2 targets will drive the electrification of vehicles and help meet Paris Agreement goals. The letter argues these policies will boost the European zero-emissions vehicle industry and economy.
The document discusses using electric vehicles to provide flexibility and grid services through vehicle-to-building bidirectional charging. It summarizes a pilot that demonstrated integrating EVs, buildings, and local energy generation through bidirectional chargers and an energy management system. The pilot showed reductions in CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and energy costs of 17.6%, 13.0%, and 16.0% respectively. However, challenges remain around technology maturity, business models, social acceptance, and regulation that need to be addressed for vehicle-to-everything solutions to scale. The plan is to deploy new pilots and work to include vehicle-to-grid capabilities in grid codes and standards.
This compendium of case studies was written by local authorities for local authorities, as part of the Clean Fleets project.
The case studies outline concrete procurement activities of public authorities and fleet operators. They illustrate real examples of vehicle procurement in detail including results and lessons learned. We hope to inspire others to learn from and replicate these examples.
Each case study includes contact details for those who would like to discuss the activity in more detail.

Hydrogène : promesses et défis dans l'industrie automobile | LIEGE CREATIVE, ...LIEGE CREATIVE
Comme de nombreux secteurs, l’industrie automobile est confrontée à une transformation radicale sous l’action de la pression des défis que la société doit relever pour la prochaine décennie.
C’est dans ce contexte de changements, que l’Université de Liège a réalisé le livre blanc « FUTURE MOVE » au sein du projet Pôle Automobile Européen (PAE).
Outre la crise sanitaire, l’électrification, l’essor de la mobilité douce, l’automatisation de la conduite et la digitalisation, la décarbonisation du secteur automobile s’impose comme une des lignes de force à l’horizon 2030-2035. Ces transformations posent de nombreux défis techniques, juridiques ou sociologiques pour lesquels des solutions restent à trouver.
En particulier, le livre blanc a identifié le développement des véhicules à hydrogène comme un des axes importants de la relance et de la décarbonisation des transports dans la Grande Région. Les constructeurs voient dans l’hydrogène un axe prometteur pour les véhicules lourds et les véhicules utilitaires. L’émergence de cette nouvelle motorisation va de paire avec la mise sur pied de la filière de production d’hydrogène vert et avec l’installation d’un réseau de distribution.
Comment cette technologie sera-t-elle intégrée par l’industrie automobile européenne ? Quelles sont les opportunités pour les PME et la recherche universitaire ? Quels seront les nouveaux acteurs de demain dans cette nouvelle filière ? Comment relever le challenge de la formation du personnel ?

Details of these findings are provided and recommendations on how to increase EV market uptake and to leverage the potential of EV benefits are presented.
Alternative fuels for sustainable mobility in Europe: Directive 2014/94/EULeonardo ENERGY
On 24th January 2013, the European Commission proposed an ambitious set of measures, known as the “Clean Power for Transport package”, to solve the chicken-or-egg problem hampering the market uptake of clean (and in particular electric) vehicles in Europe.
The initiative aimed at ensuring the necessary build-up of alternative fuel stations across Europe with common standards for their design and use and included a proposal for a Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels recharging and refuelling infrastructure.
After extensive inter-institutional negotiations between the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament, the Directive was finally adopted on 29th September 2014. It requires Member States to develop national policy frameworks for the market development of clean vehicles, foresees the use of common technical specifications for recharging and refuelling stations and requests the setting up of consumer information on alternative fuels.

Energy Show 2022 - Roll out of EV Charger Infrastructure & Associated SchemesSustainableEnergyAut
Electric Vehicle (EV) registrations in Ireland in 2021 grew by over 130%. This is creating unprecedented demand for vehicles and infrastructure. EVs continue to fill out all segments of the car market. They are rapidly moving to fill the commercial fleet segments.
Energy prices have bounced back following the low price period experienced during COVID. This is sending inflation soaring to 5.5% in 2021 and putting pressure on people’s pockets. But, EVs can reduce annual energy costs by 70%.
There is a looming ban on petrol and diesel car sales coming in 2030. The annual escalation of carbon taxes set to reach €100 per tonne by then. So, the race is on to switch to electric vehicles.
This quick-fire session will tell you all you need to know about EV progress in Ireland. It will cover all supports available to you. We will address the latest technologies and issues concerning consumers. You will also hear first-hand what it is like to replace a large commercial fleet of vehicles with EVs from An Post.
The document discusses RATP's Bus2025 program to transition its bus fleet in the Paris region to be entirely electric or bioVNG by 2025.

This document summarizes a review of low-cost air quality sensors. It analyzed sensors for PM, O3, NO2, NO and CO based on their agreement with reference measurements, ability to measure multiple pollutants, data availability, and value. Sensors were shortlisted that showed good agreement (R2 > 0.85, 0.8 < slope < 1.2) including models from AirNut, PA-I, PA-II, Egg and others ranging from $132-880. While few sensors were open source, most were "black boxes" only measuring one pollutant. The review concluded there is a need to target the best sensor based on openness, agreement, number of pollutants and
This document summarizes a study analyzing a severe dust storm in the Arabian Peninsula using an air quality model (WRF-Chem), satellite imagery, and ground observations. The study area experiences strong seasonal winds that carry dust from sources in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The WRF-Chem model was used to simulate meteorology and dust transport during a 2015 dust event, and validated using satellite data, ground measurements, and AERONET data. Model results matched observations and showed dust concentrations and air quality indexes reaching hazardous levels during the event, with PM10 being the main pollutant degrading air quality.
This document analyzes data from a survey of 3041 respondents about their media consumption habits and key performance indicators (KPIs). The key findings are:
1. Respondent sources 1 and 4 accounted for 66% of respondents, and were dominant across all media channels.
2. Television, online media, and social media were the top 3 media channels that respondents used. Intention to recommend, intention to purchase, and perception of humor were the top 3 KPIs.
3. Television had the highest impact on driving most KPIs, particularly spontaneous brand awareness at 70%. Surprisingly, social media had the strongest impact (28%) on actual product purchases during the campaign.
This document is a patent application for a roller shutter slat and method of producing the slat. It describes a roller shutter slat formed from a coated aluminum strip into a hollow body profile. The male upper end of the slat is provided with at least two spacing elements projecting from the outline of the male upper end. This reduces the contact area between adjacent slats and prevents them from sticking together at high temperatures. The spacing elements are preferably formed by punching and bending the coated aluminum strip. The application also describes a method for producing such a roller shutter slat.
Within nine months of the publication of a European patent grant, any person may file an opposition to the patent with the European Patent Office. The opposition notice is not effective until the opposition fee has been paid. The document also discusses a roller shutter slat made of aluminum with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating on at least one end to prevent sticking together at high temperatures.
1) The document summarizes research from January to June 2009 analyzing satellite data from the IASI instrument to track volcanic eruptions and atmospheric gases.
2) Analysis of the 2008 Kasatochi volcano eruption in Alaska tracked the SO2 plume and detected signatures of ash and H2SO4-H2O aerosols in IASI spectra.
3) A year of IASI observations were used to map formic acid (HCOOH) globally and correlate detections with fire events, showing both pyrogenic and biogenic sources of HCOOH.
The document summarizes the first global observations of organic compounds formic acid (HCOOH) and methanol (CH3OH) using measurements from the IASI infrared sounder. Preliminary comparisons with the IMAGESv2 global chemistry transport model show some correlations between the observations and modeled emissions from biomass burning, biogenic, and anthropogenic sources. Additional IASI observations suggest biogenic emissions above shrublands and vegetation areas, but not above tropical forests as expected. Further work is needed to optimize the background filtering of the observations and better assign the sources of HCOOH and CH3OH emissions in models.
This document compares measurements of particulate matter PM2.5 mass from a SidePak AM510 nephelometer to measurements from a TEOM-FDMS 8500 at multiple sites in Italy. It finds that calibrating the SidePak using a radiative transfer model that accounts for factors like particle composition and humidity provides better agreement with the TEOM-FDMS than using the factory calibration. The calibration is most improved when done using co-located measurements of the two instruments. A sensitivity analysis shows particle density and the nephelometer calibration factor α contribute most to measurement uncertainty.
This document summarizes a study of PM2.5 formation during a photochemical episode in the Po Valley in Italy. Measurements were taken in Limito di Pioltello near Milan from June 17-20 and July 8-17, 2009. The study found that (1) secondary inorganic aerosols like nitrates, sulfates and ammonium dominated PM2.5 mass during the episode, forming through aqueous phase photochemistry, (2) fine particles peaked at night while coarse particles peaked during the afternoon due to different sources, and (3) source apportionment models like the Multilinear Engine ME-2 helped identify local traffic, nitrates from the Po Valley, and sulfates from Milan as major sources
This document describes a methodology for comparing bioavailability and bioequivalence data from pharmaceutical clinical trials. The methodology involves gathering generic and innovator drug data, classifying the data, comparing the data using statistical methods, and establishing equivalence criteria. The comparison methods calculate correlation coefficients and weighted differences between tests, and use z-scores to evaluate test performance in a proficiency test.

This document summarizes Federico Karagulian's thesis on the heterogeneous interaction of atmospheric trace gases on mineral aerosols and soot. It discusses how mineral dust and soot can react with gases like NO3, N2O5, O3, and NO2 through heterogeneous chemistry. This can impact the atmospheric concentrations of these gases and influence ozone chemistry. Experiments using proxies like CaCO3, kaolinite and Arizona Test Dust showed uptake of NO3 and N2O5 onto particle surfaces. The reactivity decreased lifetimes of gases and produced HNO3. Soot was also found to react with N2O5 and facilitate renoxification. These interactions have implications for the global ozone budget and
This study found an unusual oxidation mechanism for unsaturated organics on sea salt aerosols. Specifically, it was found that primary ozonides (POZ) formed from the reaction of ozone with organic coatings on sea salt particles have sufficiently long lifetimes of around 100 ms to undergo further reactions with ozone and water vapor. This contrasts with the typical 1 ms lifetime of POZ decomposition in solution. Secondary ozonides (SOZ) were found to increase with higher ozone concentrations, suggesting POZ can react to form more SOZ. The findings demonstrate sea salt particles can act as an interface for pollutant reactions in the atmosphere under some conditions.
1) The document proposes using an inter-comparison equivalence method to demonstrate substantial equivalence of new cigarettes to existing products by comparing variables and components through statistical analyses.
2) It describes using positive matrix factorization to target efficiency factors for ingredients and emissions in new cigarette design in order to reduce toxicity based on toxicological information.
3) The goal is to discover the most efficient ingredient and emission profiles through an iterative process of validation and feedback to design cigarettes with the same smoking pleasure but reduced health risks.

15. Integrated National Plan for Energy and Climate
15
The Plan, submitted by Italian Government to the European Union at the end of
December 2018, gives a major role to the strategies for cleaner transport in the
general context of de-carbonization:
▪ to replace old buses for PT with electric and natural gas buses: estimated 2,000
buses per year during the period 2019-2033,
▪ relating to public fleet in high pollution towns, the share of AFVs will be 30 % (at
least) by 2022, 50 % by 2025 and 85 % by 2030 (increase DAFI‘s requirements)
▪ Public Administration required to buy AFVs (Alternative Fuel Vehicles),
▪ to promote registrations of low-emissions vehicles, also by progressively
reviewing the taxation system (ownership tax, fuel tax and so on),
▪ ECOBOBUS (when purchasing low CO2 emission vehicles)
▪ to increase refueling points for alternative fuels,
▪ experimental measures to allow EV charging station to be used for the V2G
service,
▪ free access to limited traffic areas, priority lanes and reserved parking lots: from
local to national regulations,
▪ main target: share of energy from RES in the final energy consumptions for the
transport sector = 21.6% @ 2030 (EU target 14%).
