CO2 from Transport and contribution to Climate Change

Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis, Dr Peter Wells, Mr Clovis Zapata

Climate change and the role of CO2 are major issues informing policy and business. The role of transport is significant and this issue is therefore a major area of study for the BRASS automotive team. The team has been involved in policy advice in this area and its publications have been highly influential.
