RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0The CEO of Isfahan Refinery emphasized that more than 70% of the refinery\u2019s products have been upgraded to meet Euro standards, stating that the facility produces about 15 million liters of Euro 5 gasoline and 25 million liters of diesel daily.<\/p>\n

Gholamreza Baqeri-Dizaj noted that Isfahan Refinery plays a strategic and key role in Iran\u2019s oil industry, accounting for over 20% of the country\u2019s crude oil refining and fuel supply. He added that due to its high trade volume and financial turnover, the refinery contributes significantly to income and value-added taxes in the province, allocating more than 6 to 7 trillion tomans annually.<\/p>\n

Regarding production capacity, he said the refinery\u2019s designed capacity is 360,000 barrels per day, but it can increase to 430,000 barrels in cases of supply-demand imbalance or rising domestic consumption. At 360,000 barrels, gasoline production reaches about 10 million liters per day, while at 430,000 barrels, it rises to 15 million liters\u2014equivalent to adding a new mid-sized refinery to the country\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n

On the mazut upgrade project, Baqeri said the initiative aims to reduce sulfur content and produce higher-value products. The first phase will launch in 2026, enabling the production of low-sulfur mazut for power plants without polluting effects, which will also help reduce gas shortages in winter.<\/p>\n

Daily production of 15m liters of Euro 5 gasoline\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Baqeri stated that the refinery\u2019s gasoline fully complies with Euro 5 standards, producing about 15 million liters per day\u201424% of its capacity. In stable conditions, diesel output reaches 25 million liters daily.<\/p>\n

He stressed that over 70% of the refinery\u2019s products meet Euro standards, with gasoline, diesel, and mazut included. Only mazut, which makes up 18.5% of total output, has yet to meet Euro standards.<\/p>\n

The CEO highlighted efforts to boost production of standard-compliant fuels and reduce emissions, noting that development projects will increase Euro 5 gasoline and diesel output while supplying feedstock to petrochemical plants, improving fuel quality and cutting environmental pollution.<\/p>\n

\n

Project prioritization\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bagheri said Isfahan Refinery is executing projects based on prioritized needs and financial planning. Delays in some projects were attributed to supplier and equipment manufacturer issues, including import-related holdups. However, he assured no financing or management challenges exist, with payments even exceeding contractual terms.<\/p>\n

On corporate social responsibility, he cited the seawater supply project by Sepah Water Company, designed to replace drinking and river water with seawater. The first phase will soon become operational.<\/p>\n

The refinery has also invested in rail infrastructure, engineering, and equipment, alongside advanced wastewater treatment systems capable of processing twice the current capacity.<\/p>\n

Baqeri noted that Isfahan Refinery operates several subsidiaries: RATA (transport and logistics), Mir Damad Sepah (commercial trade), and Molla Sadra (sulfur production).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
