LowCプロジェクトは、水素、アンモニア、e-fuelなどの低炭素燃料が大型交通機関からの大気汚染物質や気候関連物質の排出に与える影響を調査する。排出特性評価、大気化学、毒性試験、統合評価を組み合わせ、EUの政策（ゼロ汚染行動計画）を支える。脱炭素化対策が安全かつ持続可能であることを確保するためのガイダンスを提供する。
English
The LowC project investigates the impact of low-carbon fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, e-fuels) on air pollutant emissions and climate drivers for heavy-duty transport (aviation, maritime, off-road). It combines emission characterization, atmospheric chemistry, toxicological testing, and integrated assessment modeling to inform EU policy, aiming to ensure decarbonization solutions are safe and sustainable.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも水素・アンモニア燃料が注目されるが、本プロジェクトはそれらがCO2削減だけでなく、大気汚染や健康影響も考慮した総合的な評価枠組みを提供する。EU政策を背景とするが、日本のGX戦略や次世代燃料の持続可能性評価にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This project addresses the critical gap of assessing low-carbon fuels beyond CO2, including air quality and health impacts. Its integrated framework supports the EU Zero Pollution Action Plan and offers a replicable methodology for global decarbonization pathways, especially for hard-to-abate transport sectors.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Heavy-duty vehicles (including non-road mobile machinery, eg excavators), aircrafts and ships are contributing significantly to emissions of green-house gases and health-relevant air pollutants, such as fine airborne particulate matter (PM2.5) as well as emerging pollutants. For decarbonization of the sector, several new fuels, ranging from hydrogen via ammonia to synthetic eFuels are considered. An important question is how these potential new fuels will influence emissions of air pollutants and climate relevant compounds. LowC will address if these new fuels for high-power engines have an impact on the emissions of air pollutants and climate-drivers, considering also upstream emissions and secondary pollutants formed under different atmospheric conditions (daytime photochemical aging or night-time atmospheric radical chemistry). LowC will apply a series of state-of-the-art technologies to generate and characterize the emissions and assess the effects in lung cell models. The toxicological testing will be applied in a tiered manner (screening and in-depth verification), in line with visions of Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century. Emission data, including regulated and emerging pollutants, will feed into integrated assessment and atmospheric transport models, currently used to underpin EU policy and the Zero Pollution Action Plan, to assess impacts on the EU environmental policy objectives. Finally, LowC will evaluate health and environmental impacts and provide guidance and recommendations to ensure that solutions to reduce CO2 emissions and prevent climate change are safe and sustainable. The work is supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 101192913.
