The accreditation came from the Vietnam Association for
Environmental Economics (VIASEE) under the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Environment.
The VIASEE listed a range of the plant’s products, including unleaded E5 RON 92
and RON 95 petrol.
E5 RON 92 consists of five percent ethanol and 95 percent petrol. The fuel is
used in many countries as it helps protect the environment and ensure energy
security and sustainable development. In Vietnam, two kinds of petrol are sold:
E5 bio-fuel and RON 95.
The Binh Son Oil Refinery and Petrochemical JSC (BSR), which runs the plant,
has prioritised investments in waste treatment technologies, including the use
of chemicals and microorganisms, meeting environmental sanitation requirements.
This was the second year in a row the BSR had won the VIASEE green title.
The company, a subsidiary of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, reported pre-tax
profits of 1.3 trillion VND (57.1 million USD) in the first quarter of 2018, up
46 percent compared to the quarterly target.
