As the most consumed refined product in Europe, diesel is a fundamental source of road fuel. But without sufficient local refining capacity to cover demand, the region is dependent on imports of this critical product. These trade flows have changed dramatically since the start of 2022 as Europe rejects Russian-origin oil and turns to long-range cargoes from other sources. This ‘new normal’ requires new price benchmarks for the European diesel market.
