Overview

Objectives:

The main aim of the BieBus project was to contribute to the understanding of the emission of new harmful compounds associated with the combustion of bioethanol via measurements, air dispersion model and integrated analysis. The evaluation of the results and the development of new methodological approaches has provided greater knowledge about the impact of climate change policies and abatement strategies on urban air quality. However, new questions and uncertainties are also raised, and they point out the need for additional research in the field of impact of alternative fuels on urban air quality.

Methodology:

The project has been going from 2011 to 2014, when different activities were implemented.

The work was originally divided in four different work packages dedicated to management and dissemination (WP1), measurements (WP2), modelling activities (WP3) and impact assessment and cost evaluation (WP4). The last year of the project (2014), the work focussed on the modelling activities.
