WASHINGTON – Irving Oil recently became the first oil company to win a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air Excellence Award.
The company received the award for producing low-sulfur gasoline three years ahead of regulation.
The United State’s EPA Clean Air Excellence Awards annually recognize and honor “outstanding, innovative efforts that help to make progress in achieving cleaner air.” Irving Oil was one of 21 award-winners.
Irving Oil has been making low-sulfur gasoline since 1999 and was the first in North America to commission full-scale desulfurization technology at its refinery in 2000. Because of these changes, Irving Oil’s low-sulfur gasoline met 2004 EPA sulfur standards more than three years ahead of schedule.
