The gasoline produced by Shazand Refinery in the central city of Arak, Markazi Province, meets Euro-4 emission standards, the managing director of the refinery said. Alireza Amin added that "the gasoline production capacity of the refinery currently stands at 16 million liters a day and maintenance services are underway to keep up the flow and quality of products", Shana reported on Sunday. According to previous reports from the National Iranian Oil Company, plans are high on the agenda to produce gasoline compliant with Euro-5 and Euro-6 standards in Shazand. Iran plans to enhance domestically produced gasoline to curb air pollution in major cities and urban areas. The country currently produces over 70 million liters of gasoline per day, less than 30 million liters of which comply with Euro-4 criteria. Over 9 ml/d of the strategic fuel are imported to meet domestic demand.
