Various steps have been taken phase wise to improve the specification of petroleum products. Various steps have been taken phase wise to improve the specification of petroleum products. Mono grade 87 RON Gasoline was introduced in the country with effect from 1st October Mono grade 87 RON Gasoline was introduced in the country with effect from 1st October Initiative for Clean Fuels

Unleaded gasoline was introduced in the country with effect from 1 st July 2002, which has brought tremendous benefits to public, as lead was highly injurious to health especially to children. Unleaded gasoline was introduced in the country with effect from 1 st July 2002, which has brought tremendous benefits to public, as lead was highly injurious to health especially to children. More than 50% gasoline being produced and marketed in the country w.e.f. March, 2003 is 90 RON, unleaded More than 50% gasoline being produced and marketed in the country w.e.f. March, 2003 is 90 RON, unleaded This motor gasoline meets most of EURO II Standards This motor gasoline meets most of EURO II Standards

 A new Coastal Refinery of 9-13 mill ton capacity is planned to set up at Khalifa point near Hub Baluchistan by the year  The proposed Refinery would produce Euro III standard products.  A pilot project has been launched to introduce 10 % ethanol in Motor gasoline which is more environment friendly

Conclusions Most major urban centers experience significant and persistent air quality problems Most major urban centers experience significant and persistent air quality problems Air quality improvement efforts incorporates fuel reformulation due to the large contribution of mobile sources Air quality improvement efforts incorporates fuel reformulation due to the large contribution of mobile sources Control on pollution can be achieved when the bulk engine technology matches fuel, is properly tuned and fuel quality is good. Control on pollution can be achieved when the bulk engine technology matches fuel, is properly tuned and fuel quality is good.

Conclusions (contd.) Conclusions (contd.) Each country follows its own path (to suit its own ground realities) and in different phases Each country follows its own path (to suit its own ground realities) and in different phases Fuel quality improvement requires mega- investments and long lead times to implement Fuel quality improvement requires mega- investments and long lead times to implement A home grown plan for clean fuels is more likely to be realistic and achievable.
