LIFE GySTRA

Global system to quantify vehicle emissions in real situations

Description

Scientific studies show that 10% of the vehicles with the highest emissions are responsible for 80% of the pollution generated by road traffic. Europe therefore needs to identify these large emitters on a large scale in order to be able to control and, secondly, reduce air pollution.

LIFE GySTRA will provide the most effective solution for this problem, creating a global system to precisely quantify vehicle emissions in real driving situations, not only to control them, but to support the creation of a policy to achieve its reduction All this will be achieved through the use of a new remote sensing device adapted to the current EU requirements: the RSD +.

Objectives

  • Implementation of a new sustainable mobility policy with the following objectives:
  • Control and quantify emissions due to traffic.
  • Create a global emissions management system.
  • Development of a new device based on remote measurement technology, the RSD+, capable of measuring real traffic emissions in fixed locations according to EU standards, non-intrusively, with high precision and large scale.
  • Demonstration of system replicability.

Actions

  • RSD+ development.
  • Creation of two emission management models depending on the type of end user: general model, fleet model.

Expected results

  • Sustainable mobility policy based on a legal framework to identify High Emitter vehicles and reduce traffic emissions.
  • Develop a new RSD+ prototype that meets EU standards, small and versatile, installable in fixed locations, with an uncertainty of less than 15% for all emissions: NO, CO, HC, PM, and NO2.
  • Replicable model, with two different approaches: public model to control urban traffic emissions in general, and a private fleet model for the control and regulation of traffic emissions from a vehicle fleet.

SUPERA

SUPERA

SUPERA project is based on increasing and improving the knowledge of the mechanisms of action of RNAi in the framework of plant health, thus boosting agricultural productivity and environmentally friendly forest health. Environmental RNAi refers to the uptake of RNAs from the environment that can induce systemic gene silencing in the organism.

PHENOLEXA

PHENOLEXA

Agricultural side streams-olives, wine, chicory and onions- are rich in bioactive compounds (BAC) and have antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Their full potential has yet to be realised, due to a lack of technologies that preserve the complexity and functionality of these BAC.
