    Emissions to air from a marine engine fueled by methanol2020In: Journal of Marine Science and Application, ISSN 1671-9433, E-ISSN 1993-5048Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Emissions of exhaust gases and particulate matter from a dual fuel marine engine using methanol as fuel with marine gasoil as pilot fuel have been examined for a ferry during operation. The emission factor for nitrogen oxides is lower than what is typically found for marine gasoil but does not reach the tier III limit. The emissions of particulate matter are significantly lower than for fuel oils and similar to what is found for LNG engines. The main part of the particles can be found in the ultrafine range with the peak being at around 18 nm. About 93% of the particles are evaporated and absorbed when using a thermodenuder, and thus a large majority of the particles are volatile. Methanol is a potential future marine fuel that will reduce emissions of air pollutants and can be made as a biofuel to meet emission targets for greenhouse gases.

    Emissionsmätningar från bussar: Euroklass VI-gasbussar och bränsledrivna värmare i elbussar2022Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Within the frame work of a research project funded by Västtrafik and the foundation SIVL, the emissions from individual Euro class VI gas buses and fuel-operated heaters in electric buses have been characterised, in total 37 buses (20 gas buses and 17 heaters).

    An extractive measurement method has been used where the ambient air is continuously measured, and particle and gaseous concentrations are measured with high time resolution (≥1 Hz).

    Emission factors (EFs) were retrieved using the carbon balance method, assuming complete combustion and a specific fuel carbon content. The results are reported as mass or number of pollutants per kilo fuel burnt.

    Mätningar av metanläckage längs svenska naturgasnätets stamledning2016Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Kunskapen om storleken på diffusa metanläckage från anläggningar som hanterar metan är liten. För att ha möjlighet att minska de totala metanutsläppen i Sverige krävs mer kunskap om var dessa uppstår, vilka källor som är stora och vad det finns för potential att åtgärda läckagen. I denna studie har mätningar av metanläckage utförts längs den svenska transmissionsledningen för naturgas, som sträcker sig mellan Trelleborg och Stenungsund. Ledningen, och de installationer som finns längs den i form av bland annat mät- och reglerstationer och gaslager, är potentiella källor till läckage, men det har tidigare aldrig gjorts mätningar för att utreda storleken på de totala okontrollerade utsläppen från nätet. Nätet, som ägs och sköts av Swedegas, genomgår regelbunden översyn som utförs för att förhindra att läckor ska uppstå. Detta görs dock med enklare instrument som har begränsad förmåga att upptäcka läckor och som inte kan användas för att kvantifiera utsläppen från de läckor som hittas.

    Inom denna studie har det utförts en mätkampanj som varit tidsmässigt relativt begränsad i sitt omfång, då den endast sträckt sig över ett par veckor under februari och mars 2016. Mätningarna har innefattat både markbundna mätningar och mätningar från helikopter. Tidsomfattningen till trots har studien gett värdefull information som redan under utredningens gång kunde användas till att åtgärda läckor som detekterats vid mätningarna. Dessutom har den gett underlag för att kunna uppskatta årliga metanutsläpp längs ledningen, vilket det tidigare inte har funnits data på. Under mätkampanjen upptäcktes inga läckor längs den helsvetsade ledningen. Däremot detekterades läckage från flera av de installationer som finns längs nätet i form av mät- och reglerstationer, avgreningar, linjeventilstationer, rensdonstationer och gaslager. Den enskilda installation där störst utsläpp uppmättes var mät-och reglerstationen Halmstad Södra. Det visade sig att läckaget från denna berodde på en ventil som inte var ordentligt åtskruvad. Det näst största utsläppet uppmättes från gaslagret Skallen (Getinge, Halland), som är det enda lagret längs ledningen. Under mätkampanjen mättes även utsläpp från flera objekt som ligger längs ledningen men som inte nödvändigtvis varit kopplade till ledningen, t.ex. vattenreningsanläggningar, deponier, upplag för rötmaterial och farmar. Detta gav möjligheten att relatera utsläppen från transmissionsledningen till andra källor till metanläckage.

    Improving cabin air quality in road vehicles - Vägar till förbättrad luftkvalitet i fordon2019Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The most important parameters that influence the air quality in vehicles are the choice of cabin air filter and the air quality outside the vehicle. Real-life driving test methods for measurement in traffic environments developed in AQIFOR project showed repeatable differences between the reduction efficiency of the various cabin air filters in the car ventilation systems. Additional parameters that affected the reduction efficiency for air pollutants in the vehicle were ventilation speed and degree of air recirculation in the ventilation. Different air pollutants are affected differently. All filters tested purified air from particles; the reduction efficiency for PM2.5 was from 40% to over 80% for different filters, particles in the size range 10 - 600 nm were more difficult to clean than larger particles. Filters containing active carbon also purified the air from NO2; reduction efficiency showed similar pattern to reduction efficiency for particles. Sampling for VOC and PAH showed that volatiles are not purified by filters, but the less volatile species are effectively reduced. The project also investigated occupational exposure of professional drivers to air pollution in both passenger cars and trucks. The results showed that the drivers' exposure to benzo (a) pyrene, 1,3-butadiene and benzene was low, well below the working environment limit values.

    On-Road Emission Performance of Late Model Diesel and Gasoline Vehicles as Measured by Remote Sensing2017Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    A newly developed remote sensing instrument with NO2 and NOX measurement capability was operated in the fall of 2016 over 19 workdays in Gothenburg, Sweden, to measure real driving emissions from a large number light- and heavy-duty vehicles. From more than 30,000 registered vehicle passages, a final QA/QC-reviewed dataset consisting of about 15,000 paired records containing emissions, driving condition and detailed vehicle information data, was used to evaluate the real-world emission performance of in particular Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel vehicles. More than 9,000 records were of diesel vehicles, of which about 5,500 were of Euro 5 vehicles and about 2,600 of Euro 6 vehicles. The following conclusions were made from the evaluation:

    - Measurements on more than 6,000 diesel passenger cars reveal that the real driving emissions of NOX from Euro 6 diesel cars on average have been reduced by about 60% from pre-Euro 6 levels, e.g. Euro 5. This may be considered a major breakthrough, since the real-world NOX emissions from diesel passenger cars have been virtually unchanged between Euro 2 and Euro 5, although the NOX emission standard has been significantly lowered from Euro 2 to Euro 5. Still, Euro 6 diesel passenger car real-world NOX emissions are roughly more than 5 times higher than the Euro 6 standard, as well as than the measured average on-road NOX emissions from Euro 6 gasoline passenger cars.

    - For NOX emissions, an almost identical pattern as for diesel passenger cars was observed for both diesel light-duty commercial vehicles and diesel heavy-duty vehicles (trucks and buses), i.e. virtually no change in real-world emissions between Euro 2 and Euro 5, followed by a major drop in emissions for Euro 6.

    - Primary NO2 emissions from diesel light-duty vehicles (both PC and LCV) have been reduced from Euro 4 through Euro 6, implying that the emission ratio of NO2 to NOX has also been reduced, but the ratio is still as high as about 25% for both Euro 5 and Euro 6 (compared to about 15% for Euro 2). The opposite pattern exists for heavy-duty vehicles, for which the NO2/NOX-ratio increased from about 10% for Euro 4-5 to ≈35% for Euro 6.

    - For all categories of diesel vehicles, real-world PM emissions have dropped steadily from Euro 2 through Euro 6 – reductions are in the order of 90% for Euro 6 compared to Euro 2.

    - For Euro 4, 5 and 6 diesel passenger cars, real-world emissions of both NOX and NO2 increase with decreasing ambient air temperature. The temperature dependence appears to be strongest for Euro 5 cars. At 25-30 degrees C average Euro 5 NOX on-road emissions are around 15 g/kg fuel burned, rising to 20-25 g/kg fuel burned at around 10 degrees C.

    - Large differences in the on-road NOX emission performance were observed between different makes, models, as well as individual vehicles among Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel passenger cars.

    - For the first time, remote sensing measurements were combined with air quality measurements and dispersion calculations in an urban street canyon. Calculated average concentrations of NO2, NOX and PM based on HBEFA 3.2 were comparable with corresponding measured concentrations, but the discrepancy increased with increasing concentrations, with calculated concentrations being lower than measured. The latest version of the HBEFA emission model (version 3.3), launched in May 2017, provided a good match with the remote sensing measurements for both NOX and NO2 as well as exhaust PM, but at the same time tended to lead to an overestimation of street canyon concentrations of NO2 and NOX in dispersion calculations carried out in this study.

    Scrubbers: Closing the loop; Activity 3. Task 1; Air emission measurements.2018Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    An SO2 scrubber is fitted in the exhaust channel in order to reduce SO2 emissions to levels corresponding to the combustion of 0.1% sulphur fuel or lower, as described by the MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 14 on sulphur content in marine fuels used for operations in a SECA.

    This report covers two emission measurement campaigns. One set of trials contains benchmark measurements for emissions from operations on low sulphur fuel oil. The second set of trials is conducted after the fitting of an exhaust gas cleaning system on the ship. We compare emissions from LSFO combustion with HFO combustion downstream a scrubber. Both are alternatives that can be used to comply with the existing regulations in the area. We also analyse emission reductions over the scrubber, as measurements were conducted both upstream and downstream the installation.

    Our results show that the emissions of sulphur dioxide to air are lower when using high sulphur fuel together with a closed loop scrubber than when a low sulphur fuel oil is used. However, the study also concludes that other important air emissions, apart from sulphur dioxide, are at higher levels than emissions from a low sulphur fuel.
