Svovlregler vil øge efterspørgslen på råolie

Den globale efterspørgsel på råolie står foran et et boost på grund af IMO´s kommende svovlregler, der er vedtaget for at skåne miljøet. Raffinaderier verden over får behov for at processere ca. 700.000 tønder olie mere hver eneste dag.

Det sker alene på grund af IMO´s 2020 regulativ, der begrænser svovlindholdet i bunkerolie fra 3,5 pct. i dag til 0,5 pct. fra 1. januar, siger en Eleanor Budds, olieanalytiker i IHS Markit Ltd. i følge Bloomberg.

Hun peger på, at rederne forventes at gøre sig klar til de nye regler, inden de træder i kraft. Det betyder, at efterspørgslen efter den lettere olie vil accelerere senere i år.

Problemet - og en af årsagerne til at efterspørgslen på råolie forventes at stige - er, at raffinaderierne vil begynde at fremstille flere “diesel-agtige” produkter for at dække manglen på den restbaserede marine brændsel (residue-based fuel) med lavt svovlindhold, der forventes at opstå. Og for at gøre det, er de nødt til at øge produktionen.

Ifølge en anden analytiker forventes det øgede behov for at køre mere råolie igennem raffinaderierne at aftage i løbet af 2021 og 2022.

Indtil da vil “raffinaderi-industrien ikke være i stand til at producere nok restbaseret marine brændsel med lavt svovlindhold, så den bliver nødt til at fremstille mere diesel for at dække behovet,” siger Jan-Jaap Verschoor, direktør i Oil Analytics.
