- Calculating The Carbon Dioxide Emissions of Flights
2009
A methodology for a proposed industry standard for calculationg emissions from flights.
- Integrated Travel Emissions Profiles
Completed Mar 06
This project has investigated greenhouse gas pollutant emissions and related climate change impacts from transport at the personal, household and local levels.
- The Costs of Rural Travel (SMART)
Completed 96
A project to addresses some of the issues raised by recent increases in traffic in the countryside alongside a decrease in bus services.
- Vehicle Environmental Rating Schemes
Completed 00
Making recommendations on the content and format of a fuel efficiency label for all new passenger cars.
