Zahedan Power Plants to Stop Using Diesel by March

Efforts are being made to stop using diesel as feedstock in the southern Sistan-Baluchestan Province's power plants by the end of the current fiscal year that ends in March 2019, the head of Zahedan's National Iranian Oil Byproducts Distribution Company said.
"Diesel consumption stood at 36 million liters during the last five months, indicating a 76-million- liter decline compared with last year's corresponding period," Kourosh Baladast was also quoted as saying by Shana on Monday.
"Power plants are moving toward replacing polluting fuels with natural gas as a cleaner energy resource, which will have profound effects on curbing air pollution," he said.
