Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EUCAR, CONCAWE and JRC (the Joint Research Centre of the EU Commission) have updated their joint evaluation of the Well-to-Wheels energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a wide range of potential future fuel and powertrain options, first published in December 2003. The specific objectives of the study remain the same: -- Establish, in a transparent and objective manner, a consensual well-to-wheels energy use and GHG emissions assessment of a wide range of automotive fuels and powertrains relevant to Europe in 2010 and beyond; -- Consider the viability of each fuel pathway and estimate the associated macro-economic costs; -- Have the outcome accepted as a reference by all relevant stakeholders.
