Downstream oil in brief: is it all doom and gloom for diesel?
Report summary
We expect to see European demand for diesel continue to be impacted by a combination of declining new diesel passenger car registrations and increasing environmental legislation. It will be further impacted by new marine fuel specification which will push up demand for middle distillates and the price of diesel at the pump. In parallel, we are seeing a rise in demand for biofuels which is backed by EU targets and unsuitability of electrification for the heavy trucking fleet. Those refiners able to switch to producing renewable fuels are seeing profits soar but as competition gets stronger this might be short-lived.
