Refinery of the future: refining’s business of chemical transformation has a long future
Report summary
The global refining sector is currently enjoying a post pandemic recovery boom, with its June 2022 composite monthly margin at record highs. This is a very different situation from the depths of the global pandemic, which was only two years ago. In 2020, in Europe, our Refinery Evaluation Model indicates that few refiners were cash positive. Other regions experienced similar challenges, triggering the rationalisation of almost three million barrels per day of refining capacity.
