Details

The Sulphur Content of Liquid Fuels Directive (1999/32/EC) limits the sulphur content in gas oil to 0.1% by mass and in heavy fuel oil to 1% by mass.

The directive is implemented in England and Wales through The Sulphur Content of Liquid Fuels (England and Wales) Regulations 2007.

The directive requires that member states submit an annual report in June to the European Commission on the sulphur content of liquid fuels used in their territory during the preceding calendar year.
