ADNOC to introduce green diesel fuel Monday

Green diesel will be available at all ADNOC distribution stations starting from 23rd of this month to substitute the current diesel distributed at the petrol stations .A technical committee was formed to oversee phasing out the use of high sulphur diesel as fuel. The Committee consists of members from the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD), Federal Environment Agency (FEA), Takreer, ADNOC Distribution, Department of Transport, General Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police and the Emirates Standardization and Meteorological Authority. The committee has developed an action plan to minimise environmental, economic, social and health impact of the use of diesel.the action plan has called for the replacement of the currently used diesel with diesel that has Sulphur content of 50 ppm. Later, Diesel that has Sulphur content of 10 ppm will be introduced. The general public will have to have their cars transformed at dedicated workshops to be able to use Green diesel. Green Diesel offers a cleaner alternative as it is less polluting to our environment and emits significantly lower amounts of hydrocarbons, particulates and carbon dioxide. Source
