Two decades after the introduction of CNG; the share of this clean fuel is still 11 percent. Nearly two decades have passed since the official introduction of CNG into the country's fuel basket, but this clean fuel has not been able to account for more than 11 percent of the transportation sector's fuel consumption; while official statistics indicate a huge saving of 110 billion liters of gasoline due to the use of CNG.

Shiraz Oil Refinery, one of the oldest refineries in Iran with more than five decades of operation, today supplies about three percent of the country's need for petroleum products and continues to play an important role in the energy industry.

A government spokesman announced that the supply of super gasoline will begin tomorrow.

The deputy head of the National Refining and Distribution Company announced that daily production of gasoline and diesel has increased by a total of 9 million liters during the 14th government, an increase equivalent to the launch of a new refinery. He also announced the major reconstruction of the RFCC unit of the Arak refinery after 13 years; a move that prevented the unit from permanently shutting down at the peak of recent consumption and pressures.

Mohammad Sadeq Azimifar said at the first conference on combating fuel smuggling: "With the measures taken, 600,000 illegal fuel cards were collected. Also, the average consumption of petroleum gas (gasoline) was reduced by 4 million liters; a reduction that creates savings for the country equivalent to one billion dollars in one year."

The government has been forced to import $6 billion worth of gasoline to meet domestic needs; despite the high cost and widespread smuggling, current quotas remain unchanged.

The CEO of the National Petroleum Products Distribution Company said: "The record-breaking delivery of diesel to power plants and the filling of the country's power plant sector oil and gas tanks took place in a situation where we did not import diesel this year, and all of this diesel was supplied by the production capacity of domestic refineries."

According to an exclusive report by Energy Press, the refining industry entered the second half of the year in October 1404 with a slow setback and without significant jumps. This trend was repeated last month, and two refineries in Tehran and Bandar Abbas had a decrease in production. On the one hand, some refineries were able to maintain the improvement trend in monthly production and sales.

Tabriz Oil Refinery, one of the most important refining centers in Iran, plays a key role in supplying the liquid fuel needed by northwest Iran by providing about 7 percent of the country's crude oil refining capacity.
