石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社伦敦3月13日消息，尼日利亚国家石油公司NNPC的一名官员表示，尼日利亚将在今年7月开始削减进口燃料中的硫含量，距离最初的截止期限延期了一年时间。 作为联合国环境规划署(UNEP)运动的一部分，西非国家已经承诺在2017年7月之前提高油品质量，但只有加纳在最后期限之前完成这个任务。 尼日利亚每月进口约90万吨汽油，占西非地区汽油进口总量的60%，这意味着尼日利亚在燃料质量方面的选择可能会影响整个地区。 NNPC炼油和石化业务首席运营官Anibor O. Kragha在向非洲炼油者协会（ARA）作陈述时表示，尼日利亚将在7月1日之前将柴油中的硫含量从3000ppm大幅削减至50ppm。 汽油硫含量将在10月份开始从1000ppm削减至300ppm，由于尼日利亚规定了汽油价格上限，因此削减硫含量的大部分成本将由政府承担。 Kragha表示，尼日利亚计划到2019年10月1日将汽油中硫含量进一步削减至150ppm。 唐绍红 摘译自 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.
