European Diesel Imports Find Alternatives to Russian Supply

DIESEL

Diesel imports from the Middle East, Asia and North America have replaced Russian supplies since the EU implemented the ban on petroleum product imports from Russia on 5 February.

  • In the four months since the start of the ban, Russia’s exports to Europe declined 96% to 24kb/d from 630kb/d in 2022.
  • Over the same period, exports to Europe increased from the Middle East by 51% (160kb/d), from Asia by 97% (147kb/d) and from North America by 65% (47kb/d).
  • Russia’s distillate exports increased 6% in the last four months compared with the 2022 average, according to Vortexa data, as Russia diverted its distillate exports away from Western countries with sanctions.
