As of 1 September 2017, new car models have had to pass new and more reliable emissions tests before they hit European roads, under new European Commission (EC) requirements. New cars produced by manufactures will now have to pass emissions tests in ‘real driving conditions’ as well as an improved l...

Ships entering SOx (sulphur oxide) emission control areas (SECA) that normally operate on high sulphur bunker fuels in advance so that the vessel is burning clean on entry into the area. Operators must also be able to demonstrate to the relevant authorities through appropriate documentation and reco...

With a view to recovering emissions from petroleum refining and storage and transport facilities, the separation of hydrocarbon vapour mixtures from nitrogen using an aromatic poly(ether imide) membrane prepared by the phase inversion technique was investigated. Petroleum vapour was effectively sepa...
