Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — Uzbekistan plans to mobilize all resources to limit the use and sale of AI-80 gasoline by the end of 2025, ensuring the population has access to high-quality, environmentally friendly, and affordable fuel.

These measures are outlined in the January 30 presidential decree, which approves the State Program for the Implementation of the "Uzbekistan-2030" Strategy in the Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy (2025).

Additionally, by the end of the year, the use of mazut as fuel for enterprises generating thermal and electrical energy will be completely banned across all regions.

Exceptions will be made only for emergency use, which must be approved by the Cabinet of Ministers and reported to the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change.
