Fuel specifications Mandatory fuel specifications for gasoline and diesel in two stages and 2005: From 2009 sulphur limit is 10 ppm; it has to be available on stations 2005; tax incentives can be used to introduce this quality earlier

Vehicle Fuels Specification Gasoline, Diesel sulfur at 50 ppm today, 10 ppm being progressively introduced Low sulfur is a key enabling property for advanced low-emission vehicles Benefits of low sulfur diesel fuel will continuously improve as next generation vehicles enter the market.

Fuel Taxation in Germany  Higher fuel tax (+ 1.5 €ct/Litre) for low sulphur gasoline and diesel fuel with more than 50 ppm Sulphur from the  Higher fuel tax (+ 1,5 € ct/Litre) for gasoline and diesel with more than 10 ppm Sulphur from the (< 10ppm = sulphur free)  additionally the so called Eco tax reform from 1999 to 2003 was imposed. Every year the fuel tax was raised by 1.5 €ct/litre

Sulphur “Free” Fuel From 1st of January €ct per litre tax incentive for sulphur content less than 10 ppm for both gasoline and diesel fuel ( Onroad and offroad ! ). Market changed completely in a short period

New Catalysts for Lower Sulfur Fuels Increasing ultra-low sulfur diesel producibility –proprietary catalyst technology –activity level tripled –rapid development / deployment Meeting gasoline sulfur specifications with minimal octane loss –Proprietary catalyst technology –clear octane advantage –lower operating cost ‘55‘65‘75‘85‘95‘05 Nebula-20™ for Diesel New Generation Catalysts Early Commercial Catalysts Activity Cumulative On-Line Capacity KBD SCANfining™ for Gasoline Source:

The Bottom of the Barrel Increasing demand for low S HFO MARPOL Annex VI entered into force May 19, 2005 which has no impact to the average S- content in the HFO EU Sulfur in Marine Fuels Directive 1.5% S max for Special Areas like Baltic Sea and in the future North Sea More action is needed!
