Aggregated damage costs by pollutant. Air pollution from the 10,000 largest polluting facilities in Europe cost citizens between €102–169 billion (US$135–224 billion) in 2009, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) which analyzed the costs of harm to health and the environment caused by air pollution.

As on a volumetric basis, diesel contains more carbon than gasoline, the tax on diesel fuel would increase. In a paper published in the journal Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board , a team of researchers in France explore the economic and environmental outcomes of such a change.

Soot particles from oil and wood heating systems as well as road traffic can pollute the air in Europe on a much larger scale than previously assumed. Carbonaceous aerosol particles predominate in the total mass of particles, consisting of a large number of chemical species and can be divided into organic aerosol (OA) and black carbon (BC).

New research published today (23 May) in Scientific Reports has found a marked and progressive 80% decline in atmospheric CO (carbon monoxide) in SE England since 1997, following adoption of strict controls on gasoline vehicle emissions begin in the 1990s. CO is representative of many pollutants, and London of many northern European cities.

Researchers at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), France, are studying a solar thermochemical process for the recycling and upgrading of CO 2 emissions for the production of synthetic fuels. Their approach consists of splitting carbon dioxide to form carbon monoxide and oxygen in two distinct steps.

France-based ECP is developing compact plasma-assisted gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology based on the use of a Compact Plate Reformer and high-temperature iron catalyst. This step deals with all complex molecules and converts them into hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The clean and compressed syngas then flows to the Compact Plate Reactors.
