PBF Sees Need for Further Marine Fuels Work

摘要

The refining industry has more work to do to meet impending sulfur limits on marine fuels, and that work has to start soon, according to US independent refiner PBF Energy. Starting in 2020, new International Maritime Organization (IMO) specifications on bunker fuels will limit sulfur content to 0.5%, a development expected to destroy 2 million-3 million barrels per day of high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) demand in favor of low-sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and marine gasoil (OD Jun.6’18).
