石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社倫敦3月13日消息，尼日利亞國家石油公司NNPC的一名官員表示，尼日利亞將在今年7月開始削減進口燃料中的硫含量，距離最初的截止期限延期了一年時間。 作為聯合國環境規劃署(UNEP)運動的一部分，西非國家已經承諾在2017年7月之前提高油品質量，但只有加納在最后期限之前完成這個任務。 尼日利亞每月進口約90萬噸汽油，占西非地區汽油進口總量的60%，這意味著尼日利亞在燃料質量方面的選擇可能會影響整個地區。 NNPC煉油和石化業務首席運營官Anibor O. Kragha在向非洲煉油者協會（ARA）作陳述時表示，尼日利亞將在7月1日之前將柴油中的硫含量從3000ppm大幅削減至50ppm。 汽油硫含量將在10月份開始從1000ppm削減至300ppm，由于尼日利亞規定了汽油價格上限，因此削減硫含量的大部分成本將由政府承擔。 Kragha表示，尼日利亞計劃到2019年10月1日將汽油中硫含量進一步削減至150ppm。 唐紹紅 摘譯自 路透社 原文如下：
Nigeria to cut sulphur in fuels a year after UN deadline Nigeria will begin cutting the sulphur levels allowed in imported fuels in July, a change long sought by health and environmental campaigners, a year after an initial deadline, an official at state oil companyNNPC said. West African nations had promised higher quality by July 2017 as part of a United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP)campaign, but only Ghana met the deadline. Nigeria imports roughly 900,000 tonnes of gasoline every month, accounting for 60 percent of West African imports of the fuel, meaning its choices on fuel quality are likely to impact the entire region. Nigeria will lower the top level of sulphur in diesel to 50 parts per million (ppm), from 3,000 ppm, by July 1, Anibor O. Kragha, NNPC’s chief operating officer of refineries and petrochemicals said in a presentation to the African Refiners Association (ARA). Gasoline sulphur level cuts, a cost that will be borne largely by the government due to capped prices for the fuel, will start in October, moving to 300 ppm from 1,000 ppm. Nigeria is targeting a cut to 150 ppm by October 1, 2019, Kragha said.
