Australia extends relaxed fuel standards to boost supply

According to Golden Ten Data on April 18, Australian Energy Minister Bowen stated on Saturday that the country will extend the deadline for easing fuel quality standards until September to address the impact of the Iran war on its fuel supply. Bowen said, "I have decided to extend the period during which the allowable sulfur content in Australian gasoline is increased." This measure, announced in March, raises the permitted sulfur content in fuel from the usual 10 parts per million to 50 parts per million.
