AdBlue or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is an aqueous solution of urea, effective in reducing Nitrogen oxide emissions. It is a popular fluid mix for diesel and gasoline fuel-based vehicles. AdBlue is used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides. The exhaust gasses are treated with AdBlue in the exhaust pipe and then converted in the catalyst into Nitrogen (N) & water (H2O). This system in vehicles is called selective catalytic reduction (SCR).

With the recent introduction of VI vehicle emission standards (auto fuel emission norms) in the country, there would be a massive demand for AdBlue oil, As all vehicles in the country will strictly have to adhere to the norms, the usages of AdBlue oil in South Africa are estimated to increase dramatically. It’s not like that the country is experiencing these changes now, in fact, vehicle emission standard or Clean Fuels 2 standard was implemented in South Africa in the year 2017 itself.

The Clean Fuels 2 standard emphasizes the reduction of sulfur levels in diesel to 10ppm, lowering of benzene volume from 5 % to 1 %, reduction of aromatics volume from 50 % to 35 %, and the specification of olefins volume at 18 %. Resultantly, South Africa is already a well-established market for AdBlue Oil, which states a leading research firm Market Research Future (MRFR). In its recently published study report, MRFR asserts that the briskly growing AdBlue Oil Market Analysis Size is projected to grow further at 36.58% CAGR during the assessment period (2023- 2030).

South Africa is the largest new passenger vehicle (PV) market in the Southern African continent and the nation accentuates on CO2 emission values. According to South Africa’s new passenger vehicle CO2 emission standards, CO2 emissions were more than 98% of all new vehicles. As per the data produced by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA), there are 27 auto manufacturers in the country, selling vehicles under 43 brands.

The top thirteen manufacturers account for over 95% of all gasoline & diesel vehicles sold in South Africa. Sales of diesel vehicles are strong in diesel-powered SUVs & MPVs and the largest sedan segments including luxury vehicles.

 iesel vehicles emit less CO2 than their gasoline counterparts; however, in the SUV segment, the diesel option emits more. In South Africa, the average diesel vehicle emits more CO2 than the average gasoline vehicle. With the introduction of VI norms, automobile companies in the country are implementing several technical changes in diesel vehicles. They are provisioning for fitting diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

January 20, 2020 ---- Indian Oil Corporation Limited, a leading global oil & gas company, announced the signing of an agreement with Cummins Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. to bulk supply it’s Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) - IOC ClearBlue, Cummins’s advanced engines with SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems. Cummins Technologies is a leading global manufacturer & distributor of exhaust after-treatment systems & components for high horsepower engine markets

Indian Oil’s ClearBlue adheres to the highest quality standards of IOC 22241 and AdBlue certification. With this collaboration, IOC ClearBlue usages would be recommended for all diesel vehicles that have Cummins engines or other engines with Cummins SCR technology. India would shift to BS-VI auto fuel emission norms w.e.f. April 1, 2020. This would force automobile companies in the country to make several technical changes in their diesel vehicles such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and provision for fitting diesel particulate filter. The SCR systems require an aqueous urea solution – DEF for an effective reduction in Nitrogen oxide emissions.
