Plans are underway in the refining industry to increase the daily production of petroleum products so that about 130 million liters per day of gasoline and diesel each will be produced by March 2027.
As per these plans, the quality of 75% of the output will conform to the Euro 4 and 5 standards, ISNA reported.
Currently, 2.286 million barrels of crude oil and gas condensates are refined daily in 10 refineries across the country.
On average, 115 million liters of high-quality gasoline and 112 million liters of diesel are produced in Iran now. The production of these two main products will increase by about 15% to reach 129 million liters of gasoline and 130 million liters of diesel in about five years.
At present, more than 70% of the country's main gasoline and diesel output, equivalent to more than 75 million liters of gasoline and 70 million liters of diesel produced daily in the country comply with Euro 4 and 5 standards. The figure is predicted to increase to 75% by March 2027.
Gasoline is burned by car owners, whose numbers are increasing every year. However, as diesel-powered cars are banned in the country, the liquid fuel is primarily used in heavy-duty vehicles, power plants and industries.
