27 January 2014 [09:15] - Today.Az
The opportunities of Azerbaijan's processing enterprises will allow
to ensure the production of fuel complying with Euro-4 ecological
standards in the future, head of the country's State Committee on
Standardization, Metrology and Patents Ramiz Hasanov said at a press
conference on Jan.24.
"This will be possible thanks to the chemical additives and
supplements. Currently, the fuel produced in the country complies with
Euro-3 standard and at present, jointly with relevant agencies the State
Committee conducts preparations for Euro-4 standard for fuel," Hasanov
said.
Given the pace of adoption of ecological standards in the country,
currently the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) is considering the
production of fuel complying with the standards surpassing Euro-5 at a
new complex for oil and gas processing and petrochemical production,
according to the state committee head.
Azerbaijan will move to Euro-4 ecological standard for vehicles from April 1, 2014 bypassing Euro-3.
This will affect both imported cars and the cars produced in the country.
