Global Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) Market Insights - Industry Share, Sales Projections, and Demand Outlook 2024-2030

As a kind of refined oil, fuel oil is a heavy residual product separated from crude oil after gasoline, coal and diesel in the process of petroleum processing. Fuel oil is mainly used in refining, chemical industry, transportation (mainly Marine), power generation in power plants, construction, metallurgy and other industrial fields. VLSFO is mainly used in ships.

Low sulphur fuel oil is fuel oil with relatively low sulphur content. In the marine market, the reason why it is necessary to distinguish between high and low sulphur fuel oil is because according to the requirements of IMO, the sulphur content of fuel oil used by global seagoing ships shall not exceed 0.5% from January 1, 2020; but if Ships equipped with desulfurization equipment that meet the requirements can continue to use the 3.5% (sulphur content) fuel oil that was the mainstream in the market; finally, because the sulphur content of ships passing through Europe, America and China"s ECA areas is limited to 0.1%, this makes the sulphur content Below 0.5%, a 0.1% demarcation line needs to be drawn.

Therefore, based on the above situation, we divide the definition of high and low sulphur fuel oil in the marine market into three parts: HSFO refers to fuel oil with a sulphur content limit of 3.5%, and the sulphur content limit corresponding to LSFO or VLSFO should be 0.5%; ultra-low sulphur fuel oil (ULSFO) corresponds to the upper limit of 0.1% sulphur content.
