Chinese importers focus on lower-sulphur coke

摘要

Almost 50pc of China’s green petroleum coke imports in October contained less than 3pc sulphur, the highest proportion since September 2011 as concerns have built over potential new import restrictions. China imported 416,400t of green coke in October, the lowest level in five months, according to Chinese customs data. Of this, 205,400t was categorized as less than 3pc sulphur, with most of this amount - 199,500t - originating in the US. Small shipments came from South Africa and Russia.
