Investments of US$250 million are planned through 2017 to bring domestic fuel production to 10ppm.

The standard STB 1658/PR Fuels for Internal combustion engines/euro Fuel/Technical conditions came into force on January 1, 2013 and defines the maximum allowable sulfur level in diesel as 10ppm for fuel type I and for fuel type II. See Mozyr refinery product specs: http://www.mnpz.by/ 350 150 2015 National legislation sets fuel quality at Euro 3 standards. However, the situation at the pump is significantly better. 186 million was spent on Brod refinery upgrades between 2007-2011. As a result the refinery is able to produce some fuel in compliance with Euro 5 quality (10 ppm). However, it still needs to bring down aromatics for petrol BMB 98 and will invest an additional 732 million in 2015 in rehabilitation to nameplate capacity of 64,000 b/d, add an isomerisation unit, as well as a 45 kb/d hydrocracker by 2016. Independent pump testing revealed 10 ppm sulfur in fuels in all cases tested.
