He went on to add that the decision to produce only AI-92 gasoline on existing refineries was made April 2014, and the domestic demand for AI-95 gasoline will be achieved through imports.
“It will also contribute to the relative improvement of the ecological situation, as Euro-5 gasoline and diesel fuel are currently the most environmentally friendly,” Mammadov said. “Given the fact that consumers of AI-95 gasoline are mainly private companies and well-to-do citizens, it does not affect the increase of social tension. At the moment we are working on this program. The share of A-92 gasoline in total consumption is 95 percent. In the future we will produce A-95 gasoline as well.”
He said that in accordance with the plan, production of Euro-5 gasoline will begin since 2018 after the completion of reconstruction work at the refinery.
