Market Overview
Increase in oil refining capacity
Fuel-grade petcoke is a carbonaceous material, which is derived as a byproduct in the oil refineries. The growth in the global demand for oil has led to an increase in the oil refining capacity across the globe. The production of fuel-grade petcoke is directly proportional to the quantity of oil refined. Therefore, the growth in global oil refining capacity drives the global production of fuel-grade petcoke.
Use of alternatives to fuel-grade petcoke in cement industry
As the use of petcoke has been restrained in many countries such as India due to environmental concerns, users are exploring new alternatives to petcoke. For instance, almost three-fourths of the fuel requirement of cement producers is met through petcoke in India. The cement industry is the largest consumer of petcoke in the country. After the country executed a ban on the import of petcoke for using it as a fuel, import prices of petcoke have risen substantially.
