OBJECTIVE

• This presentation aims at briefly covering the
  existing fuel quality in the country and various
  measures adopted by Pakistan to move forward for
  cleaner fuels.

Environmental Pollution Sources

• Major Sources of man made sources include
• Industrial and Power Generation wastes
• Vehicular emission
• Agricultural Wastes
• Municipal Wastes
• Oil Spills
• For vehicles, the important considerations are
• Vehicle Technology
• Fitness/maintenance/tuning
• Fuel Quality

13
Initiative for Clean Fuels

• 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 2000.

14

• Unleaded gasoline was introduced in the country
  with effect from 1st 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
• This motor gasoline meets most of EURO II
  Standards

15

• A new Coastal Refinery of 9-13 mill ton capacity
  is planned to set up at Khalifa point near Hub
  Baluchistan by the year 2010.
• 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

Rs./MMBtu Ratio
CNG 31.50 Rs./Kg 649.25 1.00
Motor Gasoline 57.70 Rs./Litre 1,751.88 2.70
High speed Diesel 38.73 Rs./Litre 1,049.92 1.62
LPG 550 Rs./cylinder 1028.33 1.58

Conclusions

• 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
• Control on pollution can be achieved when the
  bulk engine technology matches fuel, is properly
  tuned and fuel quality is good.

18
Conclusions (contd.)

• 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
• A home grown plan for clean fuels is more likely
  to be realistic and achievable.

19
Conclusions (contd.)

• Refineries have been given target to start
  production of Euro II specs. HSD from 1st Jan.
  2008
• Refineries are upgrading their existing
  configurations to meet the targets of Clean
  Environment friendly Fuels
