Description:

Under clean fuels regulation in the United States, specifically Mobile Source Air Toxics II (MSAT II), refiners are required to reduce benzene in gasoline to 0.62 vol% on an average annual basis. This has been in effect since January of 2011 for large refiners, with a deferment for small refiners until 2015. In Europe and in many other countries a regulation of 1.0 vol% maximum benzene in gasoline has also been in effect and other regions are expected to adopt similar regulations. The challenge for refiners is to meet the tightening gasoline specifications for benzene at the lowest cost and without significant octane loss.
