The Persian Gulf Bidboland Gas Refinery in southern Khuzestan Province is planning to produce jet fuel, managing director of the refinery said.
“A pilot project is underway to desulfurize butane to convert it to jet fuel and so far has cost $60 million,” Oil Ministry news portal Shana quoted Mahmoud Aminnejad as saying.
When completed the facility would annually earn at least $20 million, he noted.
“Removing sulfur from butane is an environment-friendly practice that will cut greenhouse gases in the region in the long run.”
