Performance Evaluation of Rice Bran Oil—Waste Cooking Oil Binary Blend‐Based Biodiesel With Normal Diesel in CI Engine

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study evaluates the performance and emissions of CI engines using biodiesel blends derived from rice bran and waste cooking oil, revealing that a 30% biodiesel blend significantly reduces emissions, while a 70% blend affects specific engine parameters. ABSTRACT This research investigates the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of

Nonlinear impacts of environmental transport taxes and biofuel consumption on greenhouse emissions in the four largest European Union countries

open access: yesNatural Resources Forum, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 157-183, February 2026.
Abstract Incompatible with the pioneering role of the transportation sector in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this research mainly deals with GHG emissions from the transport sector. In this context, the study looks at the four leading European Union (EU) countries (i.e., Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), investigates emissions from their sub‐types ...

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 106-127, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.
