Senate Standing Committee on Petroleum on Friday appreciated the Petroleum Division for introducing Euro-V standard fuel in the country, which would help facilitate motorists, tackle pollution and environmental issues.
“It is a new step taken towards the right direction, which will help improve environment, control wear and tear of engines and reduce consumption of fuel. We appreciate it [the decision to import Euro-V fuel],” Committee Chairman Mohsin Aziz observed.
Senior officials from the Petroleum Division, Pakistan State Oil (PSO) and Hydrocarbon Development Institute of Pakistan (HDIP) briefed the lawmakers about import of Euro-V standard petrol and its specifications, making a detailed comparison with Euro-II.
They said the government was not introducing any new main grade for diesel and petrol; rather it had simply altered the product specifications in relation to sulfur contents, which would now be conforming to Euro-V standards instead of Euro-II.
The meeting was also informed that the import of Euro-V standard petrol had been started from September 1, while the high grade diesel would be coming from January 1, 2021.
Answering a question, the lawmakers were apprised that with import of the high grade fuel, almost 70 per cent petrol consumed in the country would be shifted to Euro-V standards, while two major refineries producing the existing grade fuel had claimed that their product quality was close the EURO-V.
The officials said specifications and standards of the refineries’ product would be examined by the experts, following which availability of 100 per cent Euro-V petrol would be ensured in the country.
