Use Cases of the Handbook of Emission Factors

From science to real-world applications.

The Handbook of Emission Factors for Road Transport is a standard basis for emission calculations of greenhouse gases and air pollutant.

uCARe: Report targeted towards policy makers on the impact of measures

The Horizon2020 project "uCARe" (GA 815002) explored emission savings by measures that individual drivers can implement, e.g by more eco-friendly driving behaviour but also by vehicle maintenance and similar measures. This report (Deliverable 4.4 of the uCARe project) assesses the potential emission impact of these interventions if rolled out across Europe.

Swiss Energy Perspectives 2050+

The Energy Perspectives 2050+ (EP 2050+) analyse in a net-zero emissions scenario (ZERO) how to develop an energy system that is compatible with the long-term climate goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and, at the same time, ensures a secure energy supply. HBEFA was used to model road transport.

Air pollutant emissions of road transport in Switzerland, 1990-2035. Update 2010

This reportof the FOEN (Swiss Federal Office for the Environment) is an update and extension of the previously published reports on pollutant emissions from road transport in Switzerland. It now covers the period from 1990 to 2035 and presents detailed emission factors that have been obtained from internationally co-ordinated studies for all road vehicles and for various regulated and nonregulated air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Total emissions have been projected on the basis of traffic data recorded in Switzerland. Generally speaking, the findings confirm previous forecasts.
