Azatutyun. The Russian government may allow the production and sale of gasoline and diesel fuel that comply with lower environmental standards, including "Euro-2" fuel, until July 2027. This is reported by "Kommersant," citing a draft government decision.
The draft may also permit the import of fuel that meets those standards. The requirements of the Eurasian Economic Union's technical regulations will not apply to it.
The sale of "Euro-2" fuel has been banned in Russia since 2013. It contains more sulfur and requires a simpler production process, which could help bring hundreds of thousands of tons of additional fuel to the market.
However, industry experts note that this move is unlikely to fully compensate for the volumes lost due to the impacts on oil refining plants. Additionally, "Euro-2" may be dangerous for some modern vehicles.
