Utah Division of Air Quality Director Bryce Bird doesn’t doubt that Tier 3 fuels are improving the air in Utah, but he said it’s hard to pinpoint how much since they haven’t been widely available for very long.
Big West Oil refinery in North Salt Lake is pictured on Jan. 6, 2023. It's been almost six years since Gov. Gary Herbert and the Utah Legislature came up with an incentive to encourage Utah's refineries to produce cleaner Tier 3 gasoline. A Big West spokesperson says the company is committed to deliver the cleaner gasoline to the Utah market by 2024.
“Big West Oil is compliant with the EPA Tier 3 fuels standard at our NSL facility,” said Mike Swanson, president of Big West’s refining division. “We remain committed to deliver 10 ppm sulfur gasoline to the Utah market by 2024, a commitment the company made to the House Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee in January of 2020.”
“We are unable to attribute changes in air quality in short-term trends to any specific strategy. It is always a combination of many factors.” from other refiners to comply. In essence, refiners who make gasoline that is below 10 ppm can get credits for being below the standard, and they can sell those credits to other refiners who are above that standard., which is expected to save refiners millions of dollars on their upgrades, they must hit the Tier 3 level on average in their gasoline. They can’t buy credits to make up the difference.
