TWO weeks ago, PETRONAS announced that it was upgrading the diesel it was selling at its pumps to Euro 2M environment standard as part of its efforts to help protect the environment.
…
The Euro 2M standard permits only a maximum of 500ppm of sulphur in the fuel, a huge improvement over the previous standard, which capped sulphur content at 3,000ppm.
…
To make matters even worse, we are at least two generations behind immediate neighbours Singapore and Thailand where Euro 4 diesel is widely available.
…
Two years later (2004), then Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Azmi Khalid announced that the Government was no longer satisfied with Euro 2 but wanted Euro 4 fuel to be made available this year.
…
In the words of a senior Petronas official: “This means that our Euro 2M diesel was seven years late in coming.”

We would like to introduce ourselves as an Egyptian company looking forward to having
a respectful Malaysian business partner, who can be a reliable supplier for Drilling Fluids.
We are partners with the agent for a well known European Product that is involved at
the Oil and Gas industry services.
So, if you can supply us with high quality drilling fluids and reasonable prices as well, it
would be our pleasure cooperate with you.
