Timeline for sulfur reduction
SGS INSPIRE does not expect sulfur content to be reduced to less than 10 mg/kg in Azerbaijan. Since the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) has just reached a constant mode of 10 mg/kg of sulfur diesel fuel production in 2023, it will take time for marketed diesel fuel to reach the same level. At the moment, SGS INSPIRE still expects some fluctuation in the average sulfur levels in the country for the next year.
