Ricardo Energy & Environment is working with Heathrow Airport Ltd to monitor airborne black carbon in efforts to enhance the airport network’s understanding of atmospheric particulate matter and guide air quality policy in the region.
The new detection system, implemented by Heathrow Airport Ltd with the support of air quality specialists from Ricardo Energy & Environment, provides real time measurements of the proportion of black carbon produced by combustion. The project is the first of its kind outside of UK government-operated networks and will provide a greater depth of understanding for researchers and policy makers to develop the best informed policies ...

Ricardo assists Future Transport Systems to develop its E-STOR fast EV charger
06 October 2015With increasing demand for fast, high-capacity electric vehicle (EV) charging, Future Transport Systems (FTS) has developed – with support from Ricardo – a highly innovative and cost-effective solution based on reusing EV batteries in a ‘second life’ application.
As the number of EVs in use on the highway increases, local electrical distribution networks will be subjected to additional loads as users seek to recharge their vehicles using existing domestic and workplace supplies. Moreover, for convenience, many EV users are likely to require fast charging at capacities above those available from such connections.
The FTS E-STOR concept is a highly innovative charging ...
