Driving Discussions: Part 3: European Diesel Market Outlook 2025

In this third and final part, our market experts - Benedict George (Deputy Editor - European Products) and George Maher-Bonnett (Market Reporter – European Products) - round up the discussion and give their thoughts on domestic European diesel production:

• Impact on the market of the permanent closure of some European refinery units expected this year- which collectively account for 400,000 barrels p/day of crude distillation production

• Challenges refineries are facing in Europe with disproportionally higher overheads, and stricter regulations, as compared to other regions

• Concerns of the wider refined products market of where diesel supply will come from following closures and temporary shutdowns due to numerous refinery fires

• Despite the unpredictability, things that could tighten the market in 2025

• And much more.
