# NPA reviews maximum sulphur content for imported diesel

> Ghana's National Petroleum Authority has set the national diesel sulphur limit at 50 ppm, effective July 2017, pushing back an earlier April date. The NPA will still allow imports of ultra-low-sulphur diesel, as is permitted in Europe.

## Why it matters
