Pemex and ASEA Sign Pact to Monitor Emissions and Detect Fuel Adulteration

The agreement operationalizes July’s Diario Oficial de la Federación measure by deploying mobile laboratories to enforce emissions standards via spot inspections that verify fuel quality.

Overview

  • Pemex Logística’s mobile labs will be deployed across service stations to collect on-site samples of emissions and fuels.
  • ASEA will activate new sanctioning authority granted by the DOF to inspect, penalize and close outlets that exceed pollutant limits.
  • Joint training workshops and shared technical data will bolster coordination among ASEA, Pemex, Semarnat and Profeco for environmental oversight.
  • The pact builds on a July NOM 016-linked regulation that expanded RENAGAS registration of service stations to enhance sector transparency.
  • Officials say integrated inspections will help uncover adulterated fuels tied to huachicol and reduce Pemex’s multimillion-peso losses.
