SEurope’s refiners have responded to the change
in demand by increasing their distillate yield – both by operating changes
and with some process investments.
SHowever, this shift has not been sufficient to
match the demand shift from gasoline to diesel.
SEuropean refiners are at the point where
additional process facility changes are needed to further increase distillate
yields and reduce gasoline production.
