The country's largest gas company, Ukrgazvydobuvannia, has started production of the eco-friendly Euro-4 diesel fuel at the Shebelynka plant for processing gas condensate and oil, company's chief Oleh Prokhorenko wrote on Facebook.
"We have launched Euro-4 diesel fuel at the Shebelynka plant... This is the end of the era of non-eco-friendly high sulfur fuel... This investment has already paid off," he wrote.
According to the company, the first batch of Euro-4 diesel fuel will be supplied to final consumers through its own retail network, as well as to cover the needs of the company’s truck fleet and special equipment.
