Future Trends in Worldwide River Nitrogen Transport and Related Nitrous Oxide Emissions: A Scenario Analysis by Carolien Kroeze, Sybil P. Seitzinger, Rita Domingues

“…The potential effect of reduced NOy deposition on riverine DIN export is moderate, because most N in European rivers stems from agriculture, and not from fuel combustion. Nevertheless, the calculated 9% reduction (relative to BAU) in DIN inputs to the North Sea as a potential side effect of air pollution control may help achieve the international policy targets for reduced N inputs to the North Sea.…”

INVESTIGATING THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF BIODIESEL DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA by Herbert Wibert Victor Hasudungan, Elis Heviati, Sulthon Sjahril Sabaruddin, Sigit Hargiyanto

“…Based on primary data and information obtained from experts, we found that the most dominant factors that affect the shipping distribution cost are the size of the ship and its activities (such as voyage, ballast, loading, discharge, waiting, and buffer), whilst for the trucking mode, the dominant factors are both its corresponding operational costs and investment costs. Given that fuel prices fluctuate periodically, we also argue that the cost differences between the regulated and formulated reference may arise due to i) the data inaccuracy of the diesel fuel consumption and ii) specific terms outlined in the agreement between the corresponding transporters and suppliers. …”
