Summary
“North America Refining Industry to 2013: Investment Opportunities,
Analysis and Forecasts of All Active and Planned Refineries in North
America”, is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis
specialists, that offers comprehensive information on the North American
refining market. It is an in-depth source of information on all active and
planned refineries, refining margins and key trends and issues in the North
American refining industry. The research also offers market share analysis of
major refining companies in the region.
According to the report,
driven by stringent regulations on emissions for petroleum products, expansion
of refining capacity in North America will primarily be through addition of
secondary conversion units. Coking capacity in the region will increase from
125.86 Million Tonnes per Annum (MMTPA) in 2008 to 148.88 MMTPA in 2013 at an
AAGR of 3.36%.
However, lower gasoline demand in North America due to people shifting to
diesel vehicles or more fuel efficient cars has led to the closure of main
processing units like FCC and coking units in several refineries. This, in
turn, has reduced throughput leading to low level of capacity utilization of
around 81% in North America.
