Fardin Rashidi stated that the product is sulfur-free and of significantly higher quality than previous fuels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"item-body\">\n<div class=\"item-text\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rashidi explained that following a request from Hossein Pourfarzaneh, head of the Civil Aviation Organization, and an order by Mohammad-Sadeq Azimifar, CEO of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company, the production of the new fuel for the country\u2019s strategic aviation fleet was prioritized.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He noted that research and development began with input from various refinery planning, operations, and laboratory teams. After months of effort, the fuel was produced on a trial basis and submitted to the Civil Aviation Organization for ground and flight tests. Final approval was granted, and mass production plans were initiated.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rashidi added that further studies were conducted to enhance the fuel\u2019s quality. Following a revision of the EN-228 standard in March 2025, which updated permissible oxygenated compound levels, Abadan\u2019s experts developed a higher-quality formulation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The CEO emphasized that the new jet fuel is sulfur-free, reducing environmental pollution. Given sanctions on aircraft parts and the fuel\u2019s strategic importance in air transport, higher-quality fuel also prevents damage to aircraft engines and fuel systems.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With an annual demand of 1 million liters, the refinery repurposed storage tanks (Solvent 410) for the new fuel to maximize capacity and infrastructure use. By late May 2025, the first batch of the higher-quality fuel will be ready for delivery to the Civil Aviation Organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-date no-social-btn post-updated\">Updated on<time class=\"updated dt-updated\" itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2025-04-22T03:50:54+00:00\"> 22 April 2025<\/time><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The CEO of Abadan Oil Refining Company announced the production of fuel for light aircraft using a new formulation at the refinery.
