Methanol

In Egypt, the national gasoline standard has a regulatory limit for oxygen content of 2.7% m/m in gasoline. This oxygen content limit follows the European gasoline standard (EN228) limit for maximum ethanol content of 5% v/v and maximum methanol content of 3% v/v in gasoline.

According to the SGS Worldwide Fuel Survey (WWFS), average methanol content was below the regulatory limit. The figure below shows the methanol content in gasoline samples in Egypt from 2010 to 2021.
