Jordan goes Unleaded

The Clearing-House was in a celebratory mood in February on learning of Jordan’s implementation of the final phase of their lead phase-out campaign. Jordan went totally free of lead starting from 10/2/2008. Only two types of unleaded gasoline are now produced, 90 and 95 octanes.

The C-H, who have an MOU with Jordan congratulated the Jordanian team for their hard work in the successful implementation of their work plan. As a result, Palestine that imports gasoline from Israel and Jordan has also gone unleaded.

A national Workshop is planned in the second quarter of 2008, as a conclusion of the successful phase-out of leaded gasoline in Jordan. This will also lay ground for the next work phase of sensitization and planning for reduction of sulphur and clean vehicles work.
