Dangote Says Its Refinery Remained Europe’s Largest Jet Fuel Supplier in July
Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it remained Europe’s largest supplier of imported jet fuel for a second consecutive month, surpassing the United States in July. Citing trade data from a global commodities intelligence firm, the refinery said it delivered more than 400,000 tonnes of jet fuel to Europe during the month. This represented about 20 percent of Europe’s estimated 2.06 million tonnes of jet fuel imports. It said exports to Europe reached a record 466,000 tonnes in June. The company attributed the performance to rising production and export capacity at its Lekki terminal. It said jet-fuel loadings reached 550,000 tonnes in June, while crude deliveries rose to 660,000 barrels per day. Dangote Refinery added that it is also exporting diesel, petrol and other refined products to markets in Africa, Europe and elsewhere, strengthening Nigeria’s role in refined petroleum exports.
