8.5.2 Emissions<br />

Petrol engines above all produce high levels of carbon monoxide <strong>and</strong> hydrocarbon<br />

<strong>emissions</strong> (Fig. 45, top). 2-stroke engines account for 72% of HC <strong>emissions</strong>, despite<br />

the fact that they only account for 35% of <strong>fuel</strong> <strong>consumption</strong>.<br />

Development of <strong>pollutant</strong> <strong>emissions</strong> from 1980 to 2020<br />

A pronounced decrease in hydrocarbon <strong>emissions</strong> is to be anticipated over the next few<br />

years, since the more stringent EU exhaust regulations will mean that new engines will<br />

emit lower levels (Fig. 45, bottom right). This tightening of emission limit values,<br />

which only applies within the EU, will also mean that 4-stroke engines will increasingly<br />

replace 2-stroke engines, so that the inventory of the latter will decrease. With<br />

respect to carbon monoxide, the decrease in <strong>emissions</strong> over the next few years is<br />

expected to be relatively modest.
