Bangchak Sriracha Refinery to Start Produce Low Sulfur Fuel in Accordance with Euro 5 Standard from 1 December.

Bangchak Sriracha Refinery has commenced the production of low-sulfur fuel in accordance with Euro 5 standards, effective from 1 December 2023. This initiative is aimed at contributing to the alleviation of air pollution issues, particularly stemming from fine particulate matter, or PM 2.5. Gasoline will undergo adjustments to reduce the sulfur content to below 10 parts per million (ppm), resulting in a significant reduction of fine particulate matter in the air. Simultaneously, diesel will experience a reduction in sulfur content to less than 10 ppm, accompanied by quality improvements. This comprehensive approach serves to mitigate the release of hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter resulting from engine combustion, thus reducing environmental pollution in the long term.
