Abstract
The new Roskill report on the petroleum coke industry is close to completion
and is due to be published in early January 2007. It will provide detailed and
up-to-date market analysis of resources, production, consumption, end-use
market trends, international trade and prices.
Like all Roskill reports, this new edition of The Economics of Petroleum Coke
will give you a completely impartial industry overview. Our expert researchers
have made a thorough and objective analysis of all available data from the
worlds most reliable statistical and news sources, including a wide and
invaluable network of industry contacts. Thats why the breadth, depth,
accuracy and expertise of our research is unparalleled.
The new edition of this report has been extensively revised and updated,
containing the most up-to-date information available on the petroleum coke
industry.
This report offers you in-depth, independent analysis of the current and
future supply, demand from end-use markets and the implications of changes in
technology.
At the start of 2006, global production capacity for marketable petroleum coke
was more than 80Mtpy, with almost half of it located at refineries in the USA.
By the end of this decade as much as 35Mtpy of new capacity may be operational.
Although widely distributed throughout the world, ownership of marketable coke
capacity is highly and increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small
number of companies, with just seven controlling about 70% of the total.
World production of petroleum coke (both catalyst and marketable) passed the
100Mt mark in 2004 and indications are that the growth in output continues. It
is forecast that global output could reach nearly 120Mtpy by the end of the
decade.
While the long-term trends in most end-use markets for petroleum coke remain
healthy, demand for coke may not necessarily follow suit. In fuel
applications, such as cement production, coke faces increasing competition
from alternatives, waste fuels in particular. Similarly, widespread adoption
of inert anode technology by the aluminium industry would have major
ramifications for one of petroleum coke' s largest non-fuel applications.
All the latest Roskill reports are available in hard and electronic format and
