Trikhin Fireplaces Resume Production
This article examines the call by owners of primitive refineries, known as "Harrakas," in Tərhīn near eastern Aleppo to restart their facilities in coordination with the Ministry of Energy as a temporary solution to Syria's fuel crisis. The number of these Harrakas is estimated at around 2,257. During the years of the revolution, they served as a main source of fuel in areas outside the control of the regime. There is ongoing debate about the reliability of relying on these facilities temporarily, given that primitive oil refining methods lack safety and quality standards and pose significant technical, health, and environmental risks—especially with accumulated waste and pollution in the area. In February 2026, the Minister of Energy announced their permanent closure, emphasizing that their operations are illegal within legal frameworks and that they are non-compliant with standards, causing environmental and health damage. This decision complicates the possibility of relying on them as a temporary solution to the crisis without a comprehensive reform of the official refineries.
