ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Petroleum & Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that in bid to control environment hazards, the government has decided to introduce standardised petroleum products in the country as there are just two states i.e. Pakistan and Somalia in the world, where substandard products are used.
The minister said that the major oil refineries in Pakistan have started upgrading their plants to introduce Euro-2 diesel and other products as the government has prepared a roadmap to introduce Euro-2, 3, 4 and 5 for clean energy in Pakistan.
About Liquefied Natural Gas, he said that the first shipment of 147,000 cubic feet of LNG has arrived in Pakistan from Qatar by a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU).
The FSRU, after going through clearance, is expected to dock at Engro Corporation’s Elengy Terminal Pakistan Limited (ETPL), where the cargo will undergo ´regasification´ before being injected into the Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd (SSGCL) network on March 31, 2015.
